On an unassuming morning, endearingly bitter writer Amy Gallup trips in her backyard in her slippers and goes head-over-heels into the side of a birdbath. The next thing she knows Amy is on radio shows, keynoting a major publishing event, and guiding a local writers’ retreat, with the public taking her every word as the rambling of a true genius. But strangest and most surprising of all; Amy starts to write again. A scathingly funny and wickedly humorous roman-a-clef by one of our most acclaimed literary humorists --- about a bitterly uninspired writer who decides to change her life after a freak accident.
