Forty-two years and five books into her life, Charlotte Dearborn abandons her noncommittal boyfriend and her sinking-ship writing career, and becomes an elementary school teacher. Sure, she’s giving up her dream of being a famous novelist, but in exchange she’ll find a stable income, job satisfaction, and maybe even love. At least that’s how it’d work if she were a character in one of her novels. In real life, she’s busy coping with twenty yelling first-graders, a teacher’s lounge full of nasty coworkers, and a series of romantic misadventures that fall far, far short of the real thing. Charlotte’s 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.
