From NYT best-selling author Curtis Sittenfeld, a sharp-witted and
utterly entertaining story about the most complicated and compromising
partnership there is - marriage.
All marriages are hard. Many of them fail. Brock Lewis, an evangelical
businessman turned self-published author, has the answer. Follow his
international best-selling book's 12-point "Atomic Doctrine" - make eye
contact with your spouse? Always! Use the bathroom in front of them?
Never! - and you, too, can build a marriage that thrives.
What Hollywood power broker Heather Thiesen knows about marriage is that
hers is sputtering, anything but romantic, and utterly exhausting. But
she still aspires to turn Brock's book into the blockbuster romantic
comedy she knows it can be - now she just has to convince Brock.
Narrated with depth and warmth by Oscar nominee Diane Lane, what follows
is a remarkable story about the life partners we choose, the secrets we
keep, and the compromises we make by one of America's funniest and most
astute cultural commentators.
