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 it’s the craziest thing he’s ever heard. A fight over
a scruffy little dog doesn’t seem like much of a reason to
walk out on your husband of twenty years—but 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 won’t mingle with
his colleagues, tired of his constant fretting over
illnesses he doesn’t have, tired of the glass of warm milk
he must have every night before bed. Why can’t 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 past—remembering the mother she’s lost,
her daughter’s childhood, and the husband she isn’t entirely
sure she wants to leave behind. . . .
By turns
poignant and hilarious—often on the same page—Mad
Dash is a novel about the funny ways love has of
catching up to us despite our most irrational efforts to
leave it behind.
