Description: "How long does it take to get over heartache? In her debut memoir, Kate Walter--journalist, teacher, and chronicler of Greenwich Village life--explores her recovery from the sudden break up of her long lesbian relationship. With brave and revealing details, Walter confesses her grief and rage and questions her past choices. Seeking answers and spiritual solace, she joins a gay-positive church, visits psychics, throws herself into yoga and chanting, and starts dating again at 60. Like the urban landscape that serves as her backdrop, Walter's fast-paced dialogue has a raspy realness and soulful edge. She describes loneliness and longing with humorous and poetic prose. Readers are invited to share her journey to a more conscious life--or at least a hot kiss."--
