About

Fifty-three, long married, and in the throes of menopause, Laura is dismayed. She's always tolerated her journalist husband's belittling insults and manipulation-but at least she got some peace when he was busy at his job. Now he's working from home, and her life is becoming a nightmare. Laura's blessed escape comes in the form of book-club meetings where her female friends commiserate and joke about raging hormones and rogue chin hairs. She also runs into an ex-boyfriend, and their renewed friendship awakens the spirit and self-confidence she thought was long gone. But when Laura learns some startling things about her spouse, she begins to think she needs a different kind of life change. But an abuser can be dangerous when deprived of his fun-and just how far is Laura prepared to go to get her life back?
