But today she will tackle the little things. She will shower and get dressed. She will have her poetry and yoga lessons after dropping off her son Timby. She won't swear. She will initiate sex with her husband Joe. But before she can put her modest plan into action life happens.Today it turns out is the day Timby has decided to fake sick to weasel his way into his mother's company. It's also the day Joe has chosen to tell his office -- but not Eleanor -- that he's on vacation. Just when it seems like things can't go more awry an encounter with a former colleague produces a graphic memoir whose dramatic tale threatens to reveal a buried family secret.Today Will Be Different is a hilarious heart-filled story about reinvention sisterhood and how sometimes it takes facing up to our former selves to truly begin living.
