Digging In by Loretta NyhanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Paige Moresco has been living a half life since the unexpected death of her husband and childhood sweetheart. Now she moves robotically from home to work not participating in anything until her new boss decides to shake up the advertising agency where she has worked her whole life and follow the teachings of Petra Polly and her unusual views on creative office environments. Forced to develop a marketing strategy for a vegan cake from the local farmer's market that looks like a cow pat feels like a new low but from humble beginnings Paige discovers new friends, a new interest and romance.
At turns I wanted to shake Paige and hug her, she and her husband had developed rules for their lives together and she couldn't live them without him but couldn't create her own. Her son is deeply traumatised by his father's death and doesn't want Paige to change.
An interesting and unusual novel about struggling to start life anew after tragedy.
