She used to think the world wasn't all that complicated, but along came AIDS and crystal meth and the tankini, and she had to think again. Still she's nostalgic for that time when you were force to walk all the way across the room to change channels and there was no such thing as a spy satellite capable of spotting the precancerous mole on her left thigh. Filled with self-deprecating humor and a deep appreciation for what really matters.Someone will be with you shortly is a book for anyone who has ever seen unnerved by pleather pants, lunch meat, or ambivalent men (not necessarily in that order). and believes that life is a fragile bit of luck in a world based on chance.
