Just loved this book! Four women in court-ordered anger management classes and their mature, creative and passionate therapist go on a journey of discovery. Anger doesn't protect, it isolates. Anger expressed well connects, allows for growth and change, makes possible seeing past one's own experiences and grows compassion for others' lives. The women - Leah, Kit, Jane, and Grace start out a little flat in their anger. Then Ms Radish lets these characters and their motivations, behaviors, humiliations and triumphs unfold. I found aspects of each character resonant for me. The therapist is Olivia, her dog is Phyllis, and I absolutely love the friendship between dog and therapist and the window into Phyllis's thoughts. I would read this one again! This book is about 4 women who are attending a weekly anger management class - court ordered. I really enjoyed this book - getting to know each of them and what led them to the class (I can understand how they got there and can see bits and pieces of myself in each of them). I loved their weekly assignments and getting to understand how their journeys were going. Tuesday Night Miracles was the first book that I've read by Kris Radish - I picked this book up at the libarby because I thought the cover was cute and the book sounded interesting. I am really glad that I read this book and would recommend it to others!
What do You think about Tuesday Evening Miracles (2012)?
Chick-lit for sure, but a good read. Lots of good advice for people pondering a change in her life.

Would have given it a 4 if it weren't for all the dog musings...
