“The grief over the unexpected death of her husband and the devastating secrets Julie Metz uncovers will keep you reading. But the honest, raw, and sometimes angry search for truth, forgiveness, and letting go will make you glad you did.”
-- Michelle Dale, Redbery Books, Cable, WI


Description
Metz's "Perfection" chronicles with lapidary precision one woman's climb back to happiness after not just a spouse's death, but also the shocking recognition that her life before that death was not what she had thought it was.--Julie Powell, author of "Julie & Julia."
