The true gift of this book is how many of us forty/fifty-somethings will see parts of our hearts on its pages, only for Newman to gently hold them until she’s made us feel seen, supported and validated.

This story of a woman whose family who spends time each summer on Cape Cod (which starts with Sandwich, MA) and is now in the thick of the Sandwich years (caring for growing kids and aging parents) addresses:
Menopause
Gender roles
Bodily autonomy
Marriage
Motherhood
Secrets
Evolving as a human, a parent, a spouse, a child

And is impossible to put down.
