520    "Mary Laura Philpott thought she'd cracked the code: 
       Always be right, and you'll always be happy. But once 
       she'd completed her life's to-do list (job, spouse, house,
       babies--check!), she found that instead of feeling content
       and successful, she felt anxious. Lost. Stuck in a daily 
       grind of overflowing calendars, grueling small talk, and 
       sprawling traffic. She'd done everything "right," but she 
       felt all wrong. What's the worse failure, she wondered: 
       smiling and staying the course, or blowing it all up and 
       running away? And are those the only options? In this 
       memoir-in-essays full of spot-on observations about home, 
       work, and creative life, Philpott takes on the conflicting
       pressures of modern adulthood with wit and heart. She 
       offers up her own stories to show that identity crises 
       don't happen just once or only at midlife; reassures us 
       that small, recurring personal re-inventions are both 
       normal and necessary; and advises that if you're going to 
       faint, you should get low to the ground first. Most of all,
       Philpott shows that when you stop feeling satisfied with 
       your life, you don't have to burn it all down and set off 
       on a transcontinental hike (unless you want to, of 
       course). You can call upon your many selves to figure out 
       who you are, who you're not, and where you belong. Who 
       among us isn't trying to do that? Like a pep talk from a 
       sister, I Miss You When I Blink is the funny, poignant, 
       and deeply affecting book you'll want to share with all 
       your friends, as you learn what Philpott has figured out 
       along the way: that multiple things can be true of us at 
       once--and that sometimes doing things wrong is the way to 
       do life right"--|cProvided by publisher.
