A poignant and powerful tale about how exactly one woman’s best intentions result in the worst of situations, and how love assists her to heal and eventually triumph. From the outside looking in, Lauren Delaney has a lifestyle to envy-a effective career, a good relationship to a prominent cosmetic surgeon and two gorgeous daughters who are off to good colleges. But on her twenty-fourth loved-one’s birthday Lauren makes a decision that will modify everything. Lauren won’t pretend issues are perfect any more. She defies the controlling husband that has privately mistreated her throughout their marriage and documents for divorce. And as she begins her new life, she fits a kindred spirit-a guy who is also fighting the decision to end his unhappy marriage. But Lauren’s spouse desires his ‘perfect’ life back again and his actions are shocking. Facing an uncertain potential, Lauren discovers an inner power she didn’t understand she acquired as she battles for the love and happiness she deserves.
