Together, the essays in \u003ci\u003eMaeve in America\u003c\/i\u003e create a smart, funny, and revealing portrait of a woman who aims for the stars but sometimes hits the ceiling and the inimitable city that helped make her who she is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here are stories of not being able to afford a dress for the ball, of learning to live with yourself while you're still figuring out how to love yourself, of the true significance of realizing what sort of shelter dog you would be.

Is it ever really possible to leave home? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Maeve Higgins is hilarious, poignant, conversational, and my favorite Irish import since U2.
