A Second Chance at Life: a Memoir

The bestselling, beloved writer of romantic comedies like You've Got Mail tells her own late-in-life love story in her "resplendent memoir," complete with a tragic second act and joyous resolution (Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The Good Left Undone).

Delia Ephron had struggled through several years of heartbreak. She'd lost her sister, Nora, and then her husband, Jerry, both to cancer. Several months after Jerry's death, she decided to make one small change in her life--she shut down his landline, which crashed her internet. She ended up in Verizon hell.

 

She channeled her grief the best way she knew: by writing a New York Times op-ed. The piece caught the attention of Peter, a Bay Area psychiatrist, who emailed her to commiserate. Recently widowed himself, he reminded her that they had shared a few dates fifty-four years before, set up by Nora. Delia did not remember him, but after several weeks of exchanging emails and sixties folk songs, he flew east to see her. They were crazy, utterly, in love.

 

But this was not a rom-com: four months later she was diagnosed with AML, a fierce leukemia.

 

In Left on Tenth, Delia Ephron enchants as she seesaws us between tears and laughter, navigating the suicidal lows of enduring cutting-edge treatment and the giddy highs of a second chance at love. With Peter and her close girlfriends by her side, with startling clarity, warmth, and honesty about facing death, Ephron invites us to join her team of warriors and become believers ourselves.

"New Yorkers Michael, a famous writer, and Lizzie, a journalist, travel to Italy with their friends from Maine--Finn, his wife Taylor, and their daughter Snow.

Siracusa

861f9d9b-dcec-4bd2-9afd-0d582a405c42-1

To keep her fifteen-year-old son safe from the everyday temptations of New York City–namely sex, drugs, and all-night clubs–single mom Lily Davis decides it’s time she and Sam move to Sakonnet Bay, a picturesque town on the Long Island coast with a much slower pace. Or so she thinks.

For Sam makes a friend who speaks only in Klingon–and before you can say wejpuh, they’re having sex on the kitchen table. Lily lands a great job as a columnist for the local paper, but the folks in town are gossiping about her run-in with a nipping dog and police sergeant Tom McKee. Most disturbing, there’s the undeniable attraction between Lily and the very married McKee. And when she and Tom stumble upon what appears to be a dead woman in a house they’re . . . well . . . trespassing in, Lily’s picture-postcard world begins to peel at the edges. How much passion, guilt, and murder can one woman take?

"To keep her son safe, Lily Davis, single mom, moves from Manhattan to Sakonnet Bay, a picture-postcard town on the Long Island coast, where teenagers, she hopes, do not get in trouble. She finds a house (with wildlife in the front yard), a friend (her realtor, a fellow displaced New Yorker), and a job (writing for the weekly paper). Her son, Sam, enrolls in high school, shaves his head, and makes a friend (a girl who speaks fluent Klingon). Things are looking good, until the dog bite." "It is while covering a local story that Lily gets bitten and then meets Tom McKee, a police sergeant, both rakish and married. Trespassing in a vacant summer house, they spy a naked woman, asleep. The conspiratorial aspect of the incident (not to mention the voluptuousness of the naked woman) alerts them to the sexual tension between them. When Lily begins to suspect that the woman may be dead, the stakes are raised - on their secret and their affair - and Lily learns that in a sleepy seaside village, rumor travels faster than the response to a 911 call." "Through her weekly column, Lily explores the mores and manners of small-town life as seen through her big-city eyes and, in the process, bares enough of her soul to make her a local celebrity. In the glare of the Sakonnet Bay spotlight, she attempts to have a private life, raise a child, solve a murder, and not fall in love."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
