Where'd You Go Bernadette

I wasn't aware that where'd is a word. Maria Semple is the author of Where'd You Go Bernadette. She also writes in Hollywood on comedy shows such as Ellen and Arrested Development. Bernadette is a married woman. She grew up on the east coast and became an architect and won a grant for building a home out of an eyeglass factory using materials sourced no more than twenty miles from the home. Now they live in an old academy in Seattle. Her husband works for Microsoft. Their 15 year old daughter, Bee, goes to a Montessori style school and she is very bright. Bernadette does go missing for awhile. The love and faith of her daughter is what reunites this zany family and brings them together again. This book was entertaining and sometimes hilarious.
