About This Book

"The Just-So Woman" likes everything to be just perfect. In the morning she wakes up before the rooster crows. She does her chores. She feeds the cat. Then she fixes breakfast. That is how she likes things done, and so that is how she does them every day— until one day when nothing goes just the way she expects, and she learns that sometimes "just so" isn't the only way things can turn out just right.
