The Answer Is Yes: A Novel by Sara Lewis - A very uplifting and "feel good" read!!!

Set in suburban San Diego, The Answer Is Yes takes the typical problems of a youngish, married woman--a distracted husband, a lackluster job--and straightforwardly shows the ways in which they undermine a happy life. Better yet, Sara Lewiss third novel manages to get from those problems to a satisfying life, a trip that takes lots of luck and hard work. Lewiss narrator, Jenny, has just moved to Southern California from Cambridge, Massachusetts, with her scientist husband, Todd, who seems more married to his lab than to her. In contrast to Todds preoccupation with his research, Jenny hates her bank job and when she loses it, cannot motivate to find another. On top of these things, she feels incomplete because she was adopted as a child and has yet to locate her birth mother.

One evening, Jenny stumbles into the Institute of Affirmation, an adult education center whose motto is The Answer Is Yes, Now Whats Your Question? As the novel unfolds, the schools hokey positivity, embodied in its appealing director Michael--usually dressed in purple bike shorts and pink ballet slippers--seeps into Jenny, despite her resistance, just the way that Southern California sun can eventually warm and win over some New Englanders hearts. At the school she directs a play and takes miracle-making workshops on the side. All this eventually leads to the reawakening of her marriage and her spirit. In the end, Jenny discovers truths like this one: If you stay with someone long enough, its quite possible that you will fall out of love with him. And then if you stay just a little longer, you might just fall back in. Resisting the temptation to wallow in hot-button sensationalism, Lewis instead injects The Answer Is Yes with a happy, albeit sometimes New Age-y, self-awareness, which makes for a novel of hope and comfort. --Katherine Alberg

A very uplifting and "feel good" read!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I think we should all have the chance to attend some of those classes!!! I also feel anyone who is married knows that married life can be quite the roller coaster, I was so pleased at Jenny's choice. She didn't give up. I loved the mix of characters, kinda like real live. This book came to me a really sad time in my life and it made me smile. I wonder if there is some magic to "Miracle Book" idea? Might have to try it :-) Thanks Sara!!!
