Mary Katherine Kennedy led a very conservative childhood. She started to sprout wings going off the college, and her life took off from there. Kate felt in a rut and sought a goal of greater happiness, moving to New York City to join her boyfriend, Ari Goldman. When she encountered the "The Pink Pearl, " what she thought was an otherwise mundane life turned into a whirlwind of adventures. Her journey seeking that goal took many twists and turns, some hilarious, some raucous, some sad, and this part of her story ended with a life-changing decision. Did she make the right decision? Read Kate's story, and the author's commentaries along the way, and decide for yourself if she made the best choices that would, hopefully, open the door to a new life that would forever bring her the level of happiness that she sought."Kate's story is engaging from the very beginning. This book, I predict, has all the elements of becoming a best seller! From the quirky and creative writing style narrating Kate's poignant story, the book is a page-turner. Kate is a lovable, sometimes exasperating, and naive young woman struggling to exchange her 'rut' of a lifestyle into a fulfilling and happy life. I found myself talking to her character as I read her story. That's how real Kate is! This first-time author creates a character as real as you and me while injecting humor and hope into this millennial's angst."Karla Williams Noonan, best-selling author, Aurora Street
