"Just because you&#8217;d give your best friend everything doesn&#8217;t mean she has to take it. On the heels of a divorce, all Danielle Meyers wants is her annual vacation with sassy, life-long best friend, Smidge&#8212;complete with umbrella cocktails by an infinity pool&#8212;but instead she&#8217;s hit with the curveball of a lifetime. Smidge takes Danielle to the middle of nowhere to reveal a diagnosis of terminal cancer, followed by an unusual request: &#8220;After I&#8217;m gone, I want you to finish the job. Marry my husband. Raise my daughter. I&#8217;m gonna teach you to how to be Smidge 2.0.&#8221; As Danielle wrestles with this major life decision, she finds herself torn between being true to her best friend&#8217;s wishes and being honest with herself. Parenting issues aside, Smidge&#8217;s small-town Louisiana world is exactly the one Danielle made sure to escape. Danielle isn&#8217;t one for playing the social butterfly, or being the center of attention. And when your best friend tries to set you up on a date night with her husband, it might be time to become the bossy one for a change. In the spirit of Beaches and Steel Magnolias, You Take It from Here is an honest, hilarious, and heartbreaking novel that ultimately asks: How much should we sacrifice for the ones we love the most?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
