Customer Reviews

AWESOME!

Nancy R. Thompson is our favorite writer. We have enjoyed everything she has written and are counting the days until her next book comes out. She is an outstanding author. We know that she is going to be big! Also recommended: Reinventing Oliva, Out With The Old In With The New, What Happens In Paris , With Violets (It maybe under Elizabeth Robards but Nancy still wrote it!), And her section in every woman has a story, We are looking foward to The Stratford Park PTA!

Starting Over After Marriage Ends

Great story about a woman who discovers her husband is cheating. After she recovers from the shock, she realizes she's let him control things and squelch her creative spirit. Suddenly single and independent, she blossoms and finds new love and possibilities.

Great Story

Having been through a very similar instance (cheating spouse, finding who you are as a woman, etc) I can honestly say this author leads the reader through those emotions with fabulous accuracy. I identified very closely with the insecurity and hesistancy of the main character as she takes those first steps toward being her own person apart from a long term relationship. Great job Nancy!!

strong character driven story line

Nearing her fortieth birthday, Kate Hennessey believes her marriage to Corbin, a surgeon, is rock solid. The pair has been together over twenty years and have two children. However, her feelings of contentment take a hit when the letter addressed to her arrives. The anonymous writer states: "Ask your husband what he's been doing all those nights he claimed to be at the hospital." Kate initially discounts the note, but begins to ponder that in recent years much of the passion between them has vanished. She begins to wonder if her spouse has had extramarital affairs. Enlisting her best friends Alex and Rainey, Kate begins to seek the truth about Corbin's faithfulness and then takes a deeper look than she has in decades at herself to figure out what she wants in her relationship with her husband and more so in life. OUT WITH THE OLD; IN WITH THE NEW starts off with a potential marital crisis as Kate wants to believe the note is a hoax and that she can trust her spouse, but to her chagrin has doubts. The strong character driven story line quickly takes a wider focus as Kate begins to question her roles especially as the family glue; for instance her six year old hates when she leaves him with his dad while she goes off with her friends. Kate's investigation into her husband is cleverly handled, but what makes Nancy Robards Thompson`s robust tale worth reading is the heroine's even deeper investigation into her own desires.
