52 Shades of Blue-ish

Have you ever had something you wanted to do so badly that you finally went out and did it? I'd love to go skydiving, but the cost prohibits me from jumping. I'm just too practical, but I'd love to throw caution to the wind and splurge on it. Plus, I'm freaked out. My brother loves it, but he's an adrenaline junkie. Me? Not so much. That's the big idea behind 52 Shades of Blue-ish, a new book written by Karen Exkorn. The book follows Rachel as she tries to find the balance between love, lust, and latkes. The author was afraid to write the book under her real name, because of her professional work colleagues, but at age 52 (hence the number in the title), she decided to go for it. A bonus of this book - a portion of all proceeds will be donated to autism organizations worldwide.
