Just before her fortieth birthday, Mara Jane Mulligan, devoted wife and mother, runs out of bubble bath, and the ensuing panic attack drives her to Canada for more. She realizes that one foamy soak probably won’t cure what ails her, so she takes a 30 day vacation from her life. (What woman doesn’t need one of those?) As her 30 days sail by, Mara Jane Mulligan discovers she has a decision to make that even Dorothy couldn’t avoid… Will she click her heels for home or kick them up for good?

“Kathy’s writing is filled with energy and promise and it feels as if at every other paragraph there’s an “I’ve been there.” Even though none of us would take a “vacation from our life” like Janie does, we can’t put the story down because the thread continues to bring with it more and more we love to read.”- Dennis Foley, Author of “A Requiem for Crows”

“If you enjoy books with plenty of humor, and you can relate to how a harried woman might overreact if she ran out of her favorite bubble bath, then you’ll definitely enjoy The Do-Over.” – Sandra Nachlinger, “Boomers and Books” Blog

“I gave The Do Over a very rare-for-me five stars. It is one of the very few books that I’ve read from new authors that I am fairly sure I will re-read someday. And I know I’ll enjoy it then as much as I did the first time.” – Bobbye Land Hudspeth, “I Read That Book Too” Blog
