Miss Beecher’s Domestic Receipt Book: Designed as a Supplement to Her Treatise on Domestic Economy (1850)

Claire is suffocating. Forever has arrived and the reality of it all is weighing heavily upon her. The passion she feels for her husband of twenty years is not enough to control the desire to run away from the overwhelming responsibility of caring for her nineteen-year-old autistic son Edward. She leaves her husband Noah a note and runs away from home, leaving him questioning whether he can do it all without the love of his life by his side. Claire is not sure where she is going, but during this journey of self-discovery, she ends up meeting three people who will forever change her life. Claire bonds instantly with Stella, Thomas and Stanley, who is recovering from his own inner turmoil. It is a story about true love, friendship, faith, facing reality, and the humor in it all. It is also a story about finding out if you can truly be the person you were meant to be.
