Where can a woman turn when her own life threatens to
overwhelm her ability to keep her children safe? New York
Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Mitchard takes the
readers of her newest novel on a wry and moving journey of
loss and healing. Giving advice is what Julieanne does for a living -- every
Sunday she doles it out to clueless people she doesn't
know, in a column in her local Wisconsin paper. But when it
comes to her personal life, Julie herself seems to have
missed some clues. Having worked creatively to keep her
twenty-year marriage to Leo fresh and exciting, she is
completely caught off guard when he tells her he needs to
go on a "sabbatical" from their life together, leaving
Julie and their three children -- Gabe, Caroline, and Aury -
- behind. But it soon becomes clear that his leave of
absence is meant to be permanent. The succeeding months are
filled with a confusion and sadness that shake the core of
the entire family. Things take a turn for the worse when
Julie is diagnosed with a serious illness and the children
undertake a dangerous journey to find Leo -- before it's
too late. As the known world sinks precariously from view,
the clan must navigate its way through the shoals of love,
guilt, and betrayal. Together, with the help of Leo's
parents and Julie's best friend, Cathy, they work their way
back to solid ground and a new definition of family. No one illuminates modern love, marriage, and parenting
better than Jacquelyn Mitchard. Written with her trademark
poignancy, humor, and insight, The Breakdown Lane is her
most moving, eloquent, and life-affirming work yet.
