Women's Fiction
The poor thing was cold and trembling, abandoned on their front doorstep. Dash, impulsive as always, decides on the spot that they should keep it. But her husband, Andrew, thinks itโs the craziest thing heโs ever heard. A fight over a scruffy little dog doesnโt seem like much of a reason to walk out on your husband of twenty yearsโbut the spat over the puppy is just the last of many straws.
Dash is so tired of the faculty parties at Mason-Dixon College that Andrew insists they attend even though he wonโt mingle with his colleagues, tired of his constant fretting over illnesses he doesnโt have, tired of the glass of warm milk he must have every night before bed. Why canโt he see that with her mother gone and their daughter off at college, Dash needs something more?
Now, living on her own for the first time in years, Dash can do whatever she wants . . . if only she could figure out what that is. But every time she starts making plans for the future, she finds herself thinking about the pastโremembering the mother sheโs lost, her daughterโs childhood, and the husband she isnโt entirely sure she wants to leave behind. . . .
By turns poignant and hilariousโoften on the same pageโMad Dash is a novel about the funny ways love has of catching up to us despite our most irrational efforts to leave it behind.
