A crossroads book about living in that disconnect between the life you choose and the life that chooses you.

Marie is a damn good waitress, a half-hearted mother, and an on-again, off-again junkie who derailed off the straight and narrow when she became pregnant on the verge of attending Yale. Instead of going to college, she starts waitressing. The book chronicles a life spent in shadows of what was, what will be, and what is.
