I still can't believe THE WEDNESDAY GROUP is Sylvia True's
debut novel.
I was hooked from the very beginning and once I started I
couldn't stop.
The characters are so well developed and totally
believable. Five women
join a group for partners of sex addicts and the secrets
they share are truly
heartbreaking. Each one of them have never shared these
shameful and
painful truths with anyone. If you are worried that this
novel is only about
sex, it isn't. It's more about betrayal and the major
life crisis that each of
these women is going through.
Bridget, Hannah, Lizzy, Flavia, and Gail share a secret.
From porn, chat
rooms, young girls, to male prostitutes. How will they
survive the shame
and betrayal, accept, or begin to start over, to hopefully
recover? Will they
be able to forgive their partners and heal? Just like any
other addiction,
there are signs. Do they ignore them, deny them or face
them head on?
Should they stay or should they go? Each of the women in
the group use
different tactics with a wide range of heartfelt raw
emotions. THE
WEDNESDAY GROUP will have you emotionally invested in the
five
women and will have you flipping the pages long into the
night.
How would you feel if you learned that your spouse was
cheating on you?
Not only that, but to know that they also can't stop. My
heart was breaking
for these women and the feelings they were dealing with.
The feelings and
situations not only effect them but also their families,
jobs, and friends.
THE WEDNESDAY GROUP will leave you wondering how you would
deal
with sex addiction if it was in your life. I can't
imagine the shame and self
doubt that would come into play.
Trust me when I say, THE WEDNESDAY GROUP is going to get
under
your skin and you aren't going to be able to put it down!
I am so impressed
with Sylvia True's writing that I can't wait to see what
she writes next. I still
can't believe THE WEDNESDAY GROUP is a debut novel. Will
these five
women survive all the lies and self doubt? You will find
yourself cheering
for them and the next minute, yelling at them! One of the
best novels I've
read this year and Sylvia True is going to be an author
readers will seek out
when looking for a riveting and well written story!
Gail. Hannah. Bridget. Lizzy. Flavia. Each of them has a
shameful secret, and each is about to find out that she is
not alone… Gail, a prominent Boston judge, keeps receiving
letters from her husband’s latest girlfriend, while her
husband, a theology professor, claims he’s nine-months
sober
from sex with grad students. Hannah, a homemaker, catches
her husband having sex with a male prostitute in a public
restroom. Bridget, a psychiatric nurse at a state
hospital,
is sure she has a loving, doting spouse, until she learns
that he is addicted to chat rooms and match-making
websites.
Lizzy, a high school teacher, is married to a porn addict,
who is withdrawn and uninterested in sex with her. Flavia
was working at the Boston Public library when someone
brought her an article that stated her husband had been
arrested for groping a teenage girl on the subway. He must
face court, and Flavia must decide if she wants to stay
with
him. Finally, Kathryn, the young psychologist running the
group, has as much at stake as all of the others.
As the women share never-before-uttered secrets and bond
over painful truths, they work on coming to terms with
their
husbands’ addictions and developing healthy boundaries for
themselves. Meanwhile, their outside lives become more and
more intertwined, until, finally, a series of events
forces
each woman to face her own denial, betrayal and uncertain
future head-on.
