Celeste has the job that every girl interested in the
fashion world envies, buying clothes with other people's
money. Draped in the latest fashions without batting an
eye at the price tag, Celeste thrives on the adrenalin she
feels pumping through her veins as day to day she
determines what will be worn on the streets of London.
High powered, successful, and most importantly drop dead
gorgeous with a svelte figure to boot, life has been
awfully good to Celeste over the past three decades.
Happily married and living a life of bliss, things turn
sour rather quickly when she finds out that she's
pregnant. Not thrilled with the idea of leaving her
fulfilling career behind, she manages to persuade her
devoted husband to step up to the plate and take a swing
at being a stay-at-home dad. Nothing could more perfect
according to Celeste because now she can have her cake and
eat it, too.
Marrying Celeste has definitely been Sean's most
impressive achievement in life to date. Not known for his
debonair persona or his fashion prowess, Sean is just an
average Joe who lives for the simple pleasures in life.
It's quite hard even for him to believe that he is married
to such a desirable and sexy woman. Deciding to stay home
and raise their son doesn't seem to be the huge sacrifice
that Celeste claims it to be unless perhaps he's missing
some big piece of the puzzle? Making the most of his time
at home, Sean begins a journal entry that Celeste
accidentally finds. With each day, Celeste delves deeper
into the mind of her beloved as she discovers some
unsettling business about his new life that she has helped
create. Only time will tell what fate has in store for
this once happy and blissful couple.
In her third novel, Rebecca Campbell has captured what
every couple wishes they had... a window into their spouse's
heart. Brutally honest and poetically written, Campbell
holds bar none as she descriptively tells the story from
both points of view. Captivating, engrossing, and worth
the read. THE MARRIAGE DIARIES is the perfect wedding gift
for the couple who has everything, but needs what is most
important...honesty.
Meet Sean and Celeste -- living proof that opposites
attract.
Savvy and sophisticated Celeste is a top clothing buyer in
London; Sean is a scruffy, eccentric writer turned stay-at-
home dad who, courtesy of the couple's toddler, has mastered
the art of changing stinky diapers. Needing to be seen (if
only by himself) as more than just a drool- spattered Mr.
Mom, Sean begins a hilarious journal detailing the
ridiculous, wondrous, and sometimes salacious aspects of
being a househusband -- including such juicy tidbits as his
growing attraction to the beautiful Uma Thursday, a single
mother from his son's play group.
But when Celeste stumbles upon Sean's secret entries, she's
dismayed to discover she's opened a Pandora's box on her
marriage. Hardly the kind of girl to take a straying husband
lying down, she devises a scheme of her own, and the twin
strands of the will-they-won't-they plot become ever more
entangled. Can love trump lust? Can fidelity conquer
passion? Or will the destructive forces of untrammeled
desire wreck what may just be, for all its faults, the
perfect marriage?
