Amy Cohen was a writer/producer on the sitcoms Caroline in the City and Spin City, a dating columnist for the New York Observer,and the dating correspondent for cable TV's New York Central.In

quick succession, Amy Cohen lost her job writing sitcoms, her boyfriend (with whom she'd been talking marriage), and her mom, after a long bout with cancer. Not

exactly the stuff humor thrives on, is it? But

filtered through Amy's worldview, there's comedy in the most unexpected places. In

this unforgettable,engaging memoir, she recounts her (seemingly) never-ending search for love, her evolving relationship with her widowed dad,and her own almost unintentional growth as she stumbles through life. ^[1]
