“Here’s my quick disclaimer: This is not a self-help book, even though the title might suggest otherwise. Kravitz, a former Parade magazine editor-in-chief, has written a memoir of one year of his adult life—a year in which he connects with family and friends he’s overlooked during his intensely busy career as a journalist, husband and father. Suddenly out of work, 56-year-old Kravitz takes stock of the people he’s lost touch with—Aunt Fern living out her days in a nursing home with no family or friends who visit her, a childhood baseball buddy whose daughter is kidnapped and killed in Iraq. There’s nothing extraordinary in these stories, and that’s what makes them so enjoyable and emotionally honest. Kravitz has written a deeply personal memoir that resonates perfectly, thanks to straight-forward writing and storytelling. If you’re looking for a break from your fiction reading, I recommend this book.”—Wendee, Queen Anne Books, Seattle. Buy Unfinished Business from Queen Anne Books.
