Despite her potential, and her top-of-her-class college degree, Mona finds herself unemployed, living with her parents, and adrift in life and love. Mona's the sort who says exactly the right thing at absolutely the wrong moments, seeing the world through a cynic's eyes. In the financial and social malaise of the early 2000s, Mona walks a knife's edge as she faces down unemployment, underemployment, the complexities of adult relationships, and the downward spiral of her parents' shattering marriage. The more Mona craves perfection and order, the more she is forced to see that it is never attainable. Mona's journey asks the question: When we find what gives our life meaning, will we be ready for it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Gonzalez James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951631013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951631017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Santa Fe Writer's Project\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/06\/2021","brand":"Elizabeth Gonzalez James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052328939775,"sku":"9781951631017","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9ddd3c7-5a5b-4989-a9f5-d429bace2939.jpg?v=1685018201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mona-at-sea-elizabeth-gonzalez-james-9781951631017","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
