She lives with her husband and four kids outside of Boston, Massachusetts. This is her debut poetry collection. Klappentext The Girls' Almanac chronicles the lives of Jenna and Lucy--two thirty-something women who desperately long for a true friend--as well as the lives of the women and men who have touched them: friends, lovers, parents, and neighbors.
