"After a disastrous marriage and a crippling case of career burnout, Janet Petrocelli -- fit, forty(ish) and fed up -- closes her New York City psychotherapy practice and moves to the Hudson Valley. She buys a building in an old river town, opens a 'junque' store, and moves into the apartment upstairs. A calmer life would be nice, with a little less input from 'that overrated, self-obsessed, narcissistic species - the human race.'"--Provided by publisher.
