In 11 darkly comic, interconnected stories that read as seamlessly as a novel, Graham exposes the hilarious side of loneliness and introduces Jane, the most beguiling single woman since Bridget Jones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearing 50, Jane is a San Francisco psychotherapist-turned-dog walker, a wild woman in an ever-changing body. She hasn't had a lover since Lars, the unfaithful, hedonistic love of her life, was decapitated in a car accident after a New Year's Eve quarrel. But grief be damned! With equal parts alcohol and attitude, Jane lurches after all life has to offer--ever reminded that meeting the right man is as likely as a proposal from a dead Elvis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eToni Graham\u003c\/b\u003e is a native of San Franciso, currently an Assistant Professor of English at Oklahoma State University.
