Julie is a wife, mother of 3 and advice columnist to many. When her husband takes a “sabbatical” from their life, Julie is left to care for the family. At first, she thinks that her physical problems are due to stress and depression over her husband’s leaving. But she soon realizes that she’s fighting a much bigger enemy–MS. In the months and years that follow, Julie must pull her family together, and decide each day to be there for “one more morning.”

Fans of chick lit and suspense will enjoy this book. Mitchard mixes the dynamics of mothers, daughters and girl friends with a sail boat cruise gone horribly wrong. If you’re looking for a book to bring with you on spring break, this is an excellent choice.
