Donna seems to have it all - a generous husband, two healthy kids, a Jersey shore home - but something is missing. When she signs up for yoga teacher training, her carefully cultivated life begins to crumble. Her husband is having an affair. Dangerous childhood secrets resurface. Her career goes sideways. And she doesn't even like yoga . . . yet.
As Donna reels and heals, she discovers love, rescues dogs, and confronts yet another crisis of faith when her mother falls ill.
A devastating but funny, life-affirming love story, We've Got to Stop Meeting Like This is for anyone who has ever dared to fight for what matters - and believes it's never too late to find love or enlightenment.
But not necessarily in that order.

We all want to believe we can overcome loss or betrayal and Donna Ferris shows us her way. She did it!" - Jennifer Schelter, MFA YTT 500
"In clear, heartfelt language Donna articulates what is true for so many of us: the concussion of losses we are asked to endure, the longing toward understanding and growth, and the eventual recognition of one's clarity and strength as we shift toward a sense of wholeness. In her kind, thoughtful entries, we come to understand that resilience and happiness truly do rest on the small, daily choices we make to heal, even as we stand on unsteady ground, and on our willingness to open to the new, and to what might be possible." Maria Sirois, author of A Short Course in Happiness After Loss.”
