Description: Nothing comes easy for Sophie Applebaum, the black sheep of her family trying to blend with with the herd. At home she took back seat to her brothers and, in college, to her beautiful best friend. In her early twenties, Sophie is dazzled by the possibilities of New York City, only to land back home after her father's death. Over the course of twenty-five years in an often disappointing world, Sophie learns to listen to her own heart.
