"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

#1 - working One accident was all it took to erase Xu Nannan's comfortable 21st-century life and throw her into the harshest years of the 1960s. She wakes up poor, hungry, and trapped in the body of a fifteen-year-old girl abandoned by her city-living parents and despised by her relatives. The famine may be over, but for her and her little sister, starvation is still a daily threat. Just as hunger threatens to break her, Xu Nannan discovers an impossible miracle: her online shop (Taobao) has followed her through time, hidden inside her mind. Modern food, supplies, and opportunities are now within reach- she's smart enough to use them. With this secret advantage, she quietly feeds her sister, protects herself, and begins planning for something bigger. This life, she refuses to rot in the countryside. Xu Nannan sets her sights on education, graduation, and escaping the village for good. From earning work points to seizing rare chances, from enduring family cruelty to cutting ties without regret, she walks a clear path toward the city, success, and wealth. A rebirth story of endurance and ambition-about a girl who survives her destiny, leaves the countryside behind, graduates against all odds, and rises from hunger to prosperity, rewriting her fate step by step.
