This is the Story of a Happy Marriage by Ann Patchett

In This is the Story of a Happy Marriage, author Ann Patchett comments on a wide range of topics--from the decline of her beloved grandmother, to the messiness of "blended families" and why it took her 11 years to finally say yes to her husband's marriage proposal. She also talks about what it's like to be a writer and how important it is to keep actual bookstores around. If you loved her books, such as Bel Canto and State of Wonder, you won't want to miss this collection.
