~Life as she knows it ceases to exist for Samantha Rutgers when her husband of twenty-plus years decides he no longer loves her. The challenges are myriad. Can she build a life without him? Will her daughter always blame her? Can she trust a man again?~
When her husband comes home from work one day to announce that he's moving out, Samantha Rutgers thinks it's a joke. She hopes it's a joke. But he packs a suitcase and walks out, leaving her in emotional devastation. She thought their marriage was just fine. Their life was just fine. What happened?
After twenty-five years as a corporate wife, raising the children and making a comfortable home for the family, Sam feels ill equipped to build a new life. She also feels ill equipped to face being a single woman in a whole new dating culture.
With the help of long-time friend, Margaret, Sam takes a new path in life. She goes back to college to pursue the art degree she'd put on hold. She gets a job with an advertising firm. And she meets Frank Reynolds who invites her to take that first step into new love. More importantly, Sam learns how to stand strong in the face of adversity.
