Title: The Love Story of Missy Carmichael
Author: Beth Morrey
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Maybe you've heard of the concept of "found family"? This is about "found community"; about a bunch of people who just refuse to let Missy Carmichael go! Missy is a private, self-conscious woman whose children have moved out and moved on with their lives, and she doesn't have many people whom she regularly interacts with, much less whom she could call friends. One day, she stumbles into a situation and embarrasses herself thoroughly, but discovers that she is suddenly surrounded by a group of people who simply won't let her excuse herself and disappear. This is a story for the times that you are convinced that you are unlovable, or have been left behind in your life, as it proves again and again that the best love stories just might be ones that help you to rediscover your love for yourself!
