I just received the author’s proof copy of my newest book, the book that is a whole new genre for me, and I’m absolutely thrilled. Here’s a sneak peek inside the book, and remember that you can read a limited section at Amazon with their “read sample” feature.

Here’s the table of contents. The first part of this book is a true, very personal, experience that sets the tone for this Madd Housewife and gives you an idea of the issues she’s dealing with. (Names and locations have been changed to protect the privacy of those whose life is laid bare here.)

The second part of the book takes a look at the issues that were being experienced in the first part of the book and how to identify them, because sometimes in the midst of the hubbub you’re not sure what’s happening. And, of course, we examine possible solutions to overcome these nefarious issues.

The third part of the book is everything you should know in the realm of relationships so that you can plot a successful course for your love life and hopefully avoid some of the unfortunate pitfalls that are just laying in wait for you.
