About The Book
Winner of the Story Circle Network’s The Gilda (Radner) Award and the Next Generation Indie Book Award.
For fans of Eat, Pray, Love and Wild comes a laughter-through-tears memoir. With heartfelt emotion and spirit, Sallie Weissinger, a late-in-life widow, recounts the highs and lows of navigating the tricky online dating world of the 2000s. Interwoven throughout her adventures in search of a new relationship are stories from her childhood as a military brat, her southern heritage, her various marriages, and the volunteer work in Central and South America that helped her move forward through it all.
Weissinger keeps her sense of humor as she meets men who lie, men who try to extort money, and men with unsavory pasts. When she experiences even more loss, her search for a partner becomes less important, but—with the help of friends and dogs—she perseveres and, ultimately, develops her own approach to meeting “HIM.”
Blending the deeply serious and the lighthearted, Yes, Again shows us that good things happen when we open up our minds and hearts.

“A funny, touching, and ultimately uplifting story of a woman searching for love and purpose.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Sallie Weissinger celebrates her seventy-fifth birthday in Yes Again by taking the reader on a tour of her big heart and where that heart has taken her. This glorious story of a life lived in love is the perfect read because it’s hilarious, honest, and full of hope. We are all lovers, or we wish we were, and Sallie shows us how: never give up, occasionally give in, and don’t stop believing. Brava!”
—Adriana Trigiani, best-selling author of Tony's Wife
“This memoir gives us the fascinating story of a woman’s quest for a meaningful life. It is by turns charming, hilarious, heartwarming, and tragic, and yet, in the end, it delivers hope. I don’t ask for more.”
—Lynn Freed, award-winning novelist, short story writer, and essayist
“I have spent decades writing about how to live well. In her book, Sallie Weissinger writes about something maybe even more important—how to love well. And she does so spectacularly. Hers is the book for everyone who has loved and lost, and wants to love again.”
—Eugenia Killoran, coauthor of The Pritikin Edge: 10 Essential Ingredients for a Long and Delicious Life
“Linearity works for many things; however, in Sallie Weissinger’s potent book (and even more potent life) she shows us how tapping into grace can be a tangible way of entering into mystery, meaning, and direction. By recounting times of staggering loss, loneliness, self-doubt, perseverance, and openness to the ineffable, Sallie demonstrates how the journey of life can be a glorious pathway for those with a bit of daring!”
—Bill Say, MA, life coach, Process Work Diplomate, and instructor at CIIS, JFK University, and the Wright Institute
“After reading Sallie's soulful book, I have to say this gifted writer got the love she wanted the old-fashioned way . . . she earned it!”
—Lacy J. Dalton, singer and songwriter
“This glorious story of a life lived in love is the perfect read because it is hilarious, honest, and full of hope. Brava!”
—Adriana Trigiani, best-selling author of Tony’s Wife
