{"product_id":"separation-anxiety-9780062909077b","title":"Separation Anxiety","description":"Judy never intended to start wearing the dog. But when she stumbled across her son Teddy’s old baby sling during a halfhearted basement cleaning, something in her snapped. So: the dog went into the sling, Judy felt connected to another living being, and she’s repeated the process every day since.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLife hasn’t gone according to Judy’s plan. Her career as a children’s book author offered a glimpse of success before taking an embarrassing nose dive. Teddy, now a teenager, treats her with some combination of mortification and indifference. Her best friend is dying. And her husband, Gary, has become a pot-addled professional “snackologist” who she can’t afford to divorce. On top of it all, she has a painfully ironic job writing articles for a self-help website—a poor fit for someone seemingly incapable of helping herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWickedly funny and surprisingly tender, \u003ci\u003eSeparation Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e offers a frank portrait of middle-aged limbo, examining the ebb and flow of life’s most important relationships. Tapping into the insecurities and anxieties that most of us keep under wraps, and with a voice that is at once gleefully irreverent and genuinely touching, Laura Zigman has crafted a new classic for anyone taking fumbling steps toward happiness.","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42825292349520,"sku":"9780062909077B","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780062909077-l.jpg?v=1785900278","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/separation-anxiety-9780062909077b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
