Publisher's Synopsis
A disarmingly honest memoir about finding community when you need it the most, by the woman behind The Boston Globe's Love Letters column.
Usually, Boston Globe advice columnist Meredith Goldstein is the woman with the answers, on all matters of the heart--how to cope with dating fatigue and infidelity, work romances, heartache and heartbreak. But when her mother is diagnosed with cancer, she finds herself in need of insight and wisdom, just like her readers. As she searches for responses to their concerns, she's surprised to discover not only answers to her own, but also an incredible family of wise and caring individuals who have enriched her life as much as, if not more than, her column has theirs.
CAN'T HELP MYSELF is the extraordinary (and often hilarious) story of a single woman navigating love and loss, and a moving and poignant portrait of an amazing community of big-hearted, love-seeking allies.
