What she doesn’t need right now - or does she? - are the romantic attentions of a former student, an attractive but much younger man. Or for an old acquaintance to resurface with questions about a Bronze Age artifact that Emily might have, uh, stolen, once upon a time, in her youth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmily, her son, and the 2,000-year-old artifact all come of age in this funny and moving novel about motherhood, middle age, and one woman’s attempt to restore herself to a state of grace that combines the best elements of past and present, old and new.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163846820080,"sku":"9781554886586","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781554886586_p0.jpg?v=1763753552","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781554886586","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
