We are often so immersed in the demands of our everyday lives that we have little time to step back and contemplate those daily issues that catch us all up, entangling and complicating our lives before we know it. MacAllister looks anew at such age-old dilemmas as falling into love; money and what it can not do for you; playing it safe or taking risks; when a loss can really be a victory; aging; beauty, sex, clothes, food and friendships; then turns them upside down and inside out to find rich meaning, texture and new possibilities.
