"There's no way I would have ever imagined swapping datinghorror stories with my mother-in-law. But life is now officially very, very weird."

In Eleven Short Months Charlotte Smith Has:

A. Become a widow too soon

B. Had her job transferred out of state

C. Driven over 1500 miles with two cranky kids

D. Moved in with her mother-in-law, Rose Fiorello Smith (a cross between Mary Poppins and Napoleon)

For Charlotte aka Charlie, dealing with bumps in the road is a fact of life lately. Maybe it's time she made Rose realize that embracing change isn't about waving goodbye, but saying hello to a life where limits are for sissies and a new beginning is only a new hairdo away.
