From bestselling author Camille Pagán comes a hilarious and hopeful
story about a woman on the verge of a nervous breakthrough.
At fifty-three, Maggie Harris has a good marriage and two mostly happy
children. Perpetually anxious, she's also accumulated a list of
semi-reasonable fears: falling air conditioners, the IRS, identity
theft, skydiving, and airbag recalls. But never once did Maggie worry
that her husband of nearly thirty years would leave her.
On the day Adam walks out the door, everything that makes Maggie secure
goes with him. Only then does she realize that while she's been busy
caring for everyone else, she's become invisible to the world--and to
herself.
Maggie cautiously begins to rebuild her life with a trip to Rome, a new
career, and even a rebound romance. But when a fresh crisis strikes and
an uncertain future looms, she must decide: How much will she risk to
remain the woman she's just become?
