Lizzie Buckley has a life many women dream of - a gorgeous
husband, a beautiful home and darling (when they're not
fighting) three-year-old twins. But ever since the birth of
her children, she's had a fantasy about locking herself in
her bedroom for twenty-four hours with a good book and a box
of chocolates.
Unfortunately, her husband
James doesn't understand her feelings. And when Lizzie
unburdens herself in a flaming email to her sister Janie,
then hits send at the wrong moment and accidentally shoots
it off to James instead, her fairytale life gets a big dose
of reality. With the word "divorce" ringing in her ears,
Lizzie finds herself moving out and embarking on a totally
different life - working hard to reinvent herself as a
runner, a gardener, and a writer of children's books.
But despite transforming her body, her
neglected career, and her libido (courtesy of the local
landscape gardener), Lizzie can't get over her soon-to-be
ex. As Lizzie discovers, sometimes the fairytale ending is
just the beginning of the real story.

Re: Your Roots Are Showing
This sounds like avery interesting book. What mother or woman hasn't dreamed of "getting away from it all".

I can't wait to read this one! What sane person doesn't believe that a dose of reality can't be fun!
