"This collection of eight memoir pieces centers on the theme of a single woman navigating her thirties. 'Of Love and Language' describes how my love affair with a deaf man made me miss my own language. 'Conjugating Oaxaca' illustrates how a trip to study Spanish in Mexico helped me live in the subjunctive. 'Three Easy Steps to Beating Compassion Fatigue' chronicles my lessons in compassion while doing social work. 'Love in the Time of Technology' depicts Internet dating in the face of aging and the pressure to procreate. 'A Date on the Vineyard' describes one long weekend with my ideal match. 'Home is Where the Pit Bull Is' follows my quest for the perfect first home in an imperfect market. In 'Reunion, ' my 20th high school reunion brings back an old friendship and old demons. 'Dance fever' asks, Is there a social life after 40, and does it involve dancing?"--Abstract.
