Description
Book Synopsis“This glorious story of a life lived in love is the perfect read because it is hilarious, honest, and full of hope. Brava!”
—Adriana Trigiani, best-selling author of Tony’s Wife In this laughter-through-tears memoir, Sallie Weissinger, a late-in-life widow, recounts the highs and lows of navigating the tricky online dating world of the 2000s. Interwoven throughout her adventures in search of a new relationship are stories from her childhood as a military brat, her southern heritage, her various marriages, and the volunteer work in Central and South America that helped her keep moving forward through it all.
Weissinger keeps her sense of humor as she meets men who lie, men who try to extort money, and men with unsavory pasts. When she experiences even more loss, her search for a partner becomes less important, but—with the help of friends and dogs—she perseveres and, ultimately, develops her own approach to meeting “HIM.” Blending the deeply serious and the lighthearted,
Yes Again shows us that good things happen when we open up our minds and hearts.
Trade Review“A funny, touching, and ultimately uplifting story of a woman searching for love and purpose.”

The Pritikin Edge: 10 Essential Ingredients for a Long and Delicious Life “Linearity works for many things; however, in Sallie Weissinger’s potent book (and even more potent life) she shows us how tapping into grace can be a tangible way of entering into mystery, meaning, and direction. By recounting times of staggering loss, loneliness, self-doubt, perseverance, and openness to the ineffable, Sallie demonstrates how the journey of life can be a glorious pathway for those with a bit of daring!”
