Lauren Delaney appears to have everything. She built a successful career, raised two daughters now heading to college, and married a prominent surgeon. But on her twenty-fourth wedding anniversary, she makes a choice that shatters the facade. She files for divorce from the controlling husband who has mistreated her behind closed doors throughout their marriage. As Lauren begins building a new life, she connects with another man facing his own decision to leave an unhappy marriage. Her ex-husband refuses to accept the end of what he considers his perfect life. His response threatens everything Lauren hopes to build. She must find strength she never knew she possessed to claim the love and happiness that should be hers.
