WIFE GOES ON a novel by Leslie Lehr
“Lehr turns out a frothy escape
novel that examines a cross-section of contemporary Los Angeles divorcées who
become fast friends despite themselves….Lehr keeps the plot moving with madcap
hijinks and tender moments.” “A celebration of second acts wrapped up in a humorous, heartfelt homage to the power of friendship.” -- Arianna Huffington, author of On Becoming Fearless
“Wife Goes On is a tantalizing romp through the world of the newly divorced, featuring a group of women who are vulnerable, smart, resourceful, wonderfully resilient, and wickedly funny. Anyone who's been through a bad breakup will recognize the heartaches and triumphs that rise from these pages.” --Hope Edelman, bestselling author of Motherless Mothers
Leslie Lehr, author of the acclaimed prize-winning novel 66 LAPS tackles new territory with her insightful and funny follow-up novel, WIFE GOES ON (March 2008, Kensington Press, trade paperback original, $14.00).
In this bitingly witty story, four very different women in Los Angeles are drawn into an unlikely friendship, offering each other humor, healing and hope as they journey through the choppy waters of divorce, and into a new world bursting with possibilities. The women are:
DIANE: An MBA hotshot turned PTA Supermom, with a shy son and a troublesome teenage daughter, whose husband’s gambling leads to bankruptcy, divorce - and a whole new life inspired by Pure RomanceÔ intimacy aids.
LANA: The actress whose marriage to a Hollywood heartthrob ended in a public break-up that became a national punch line, causing her to hide in plain sight behind the counter of a trendy furniture store, where she beds every Hottie in town to ease her pain.
BONNIE: The young O.S.U. Homecoming Queen saddled with two young children and an abusive former football hero husband. Devastated when her Prince Charming storms out of the fairy tale, she is torn by the temptation to lock the door behind him and make her own dreams come true.
ANNETTE: A hard-edged divorce lawyer, Annette knew the odds going in, but finds herself working such long hours to pay alimony to the husband who left her for a man, that she lost custody of their beloved daughter and desperately wants her back.
WIFE GOES ON turns the typical divorce novel on its ear, looking at divorce in a whole new empowering way. Forget revenge fantasies and getting even – this is not your mother’s divorce. Through humor and heartbreak in smart, accessible prose, Lehr helps drive home the point that today, women not only air their dirty laundry, they wash it together. Lehr’s writing and personal experience prove that while husbands may come and go, friends are forever. Now women really can learn to live happier ever after.
