The Optimist's Guide to Letting Go

More about the book

Gina Zoberski wants to get through one day without her mother, Lorraine, cataloging her faults and her sullen teenage daughter, May, snubbing her. Her sunny disposition annoys them, no matter how hard she tries. So Gina finds comfort in obsessive list-making and her work at the gourmet grilled-cheese food truck built by her late husband. But when Lorraine suffers a stroke, Gina stumbles upon a secret she's kept for forty years.
