Fortytwo years and five books into her life, Charlotte Dearborn abandons her noncommittal boyfriend and her sinkingship writing career, and becomes an elementary school teacher. Sure, shes giving up her dream of being a famous novelist, but in exchange shell find a stable income, job satisfaction, and maybe even love. At least thats how itd work if she were a character in one of her novels. In real life, shes busy coping with twenty yelling firstgraders, a teachers lounge full of nasty coworkers, and a series of romantic misadventures that fall far, far short of the real thing. Charlottes struggle to navigate the waters of a new career, a new single life, and the loss of her identity as a writer make Second Draft of My Life a funny, compulsively readable gem. From an author The Boston Globe applauded as "very, very good on the business of falling in and out of love," it is part romantic comedy, part manual for living, and wholly triumphant.
