I Miss You When I Blink: Essays by Mary Laura Philpott

Thanks to Librofm's program for booksellers, I listened to this funny, poignant and entertaining series of essays read by the author. While I am in no way as type A perfectionist as Mary Laura Philpott, I could identify with so much of her writing about 'normal' life - being a daughter, wife, mother, employee, book lover, and friend. Even though she 'had it all' and had checked all of life's boxes, she was feeling very discontented. I loved learning about a woman who had the courage to make a big life change which didn't involve tearing her family apart. An enjoyable read/listen!
