Is she really this natural-born celebrator, joyous and outgiving?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCertainly that's how Joe Davitch she her 30-some years ago.  And that's why this large-spirited older man, a divorcee with three little girls, swept her into his orbit.  Before she knew it, she was embracing his extended family (plus a child of their own) and hosting endless parties in the ornate, high-ceilinged rooms where people paid to celebrate their family occasions in style.  But can Beck (as she is known to the Davitch clan) really recover the person she left behind?  A question that touches us all and one that Anne Tyler explores with characteristic humor and wisdom in a novel one wishes would never end.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104501514480,"sku":"2940169379075","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169379075_p0.jpg?v=1763681209","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169379075","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
