Rules for Visiting by Jessica Francis Kane is a sweet little novel about just what it says, Rules for Visiting complete with rules from Emily Post.

Filled with charm and wit, this is one woman’s journey back to herself after loss, with the help of several women friends. Beautifully written, filled with gems about trees and plants, funny and heartfelt. A recommended read.
