I really enjoyed this book. Neddy an elderly lady lived her life as she wanted to and wasn't constrained by what others who thought they knew was best for her. The cover of the book states you will laugh , cry and relate and I did all three. The ending left me with a smile on my face. Read this book I am sure you will enjoy it.

I loved reading this book and following along with the main character, as she found her way back to herself. A book that grabs hold of your soul from start to finish.
