Katie Field takes you through the life of Mary Black, whose whole world come shattering down when her husband announces that he’s in love with another man. The character Mary displays many relatable characteristics making her an apt portrayal of the many women out there. From her emotional journey to the turmoil that boils through her is what many women today and what goes unsaid and unnoticed. Due to her childhood abandonment issues, it’s clear how she always wanted to choose a life of contentment. Her world revolves around keeping her husband, mother-in-law and children happy, irrespective of how she feels and what she wants with her life. There are moments you sympathise yet feel angry at her.
With each page as the story progresses, you see the lies, deceit, and secrets that pushed Mary down this life path. It’s a good read and you’ll suspect what’s coming next, which will be right mostly, only with a little more subtlety.
Once you get hold of the story, it’s difficult to put the book down. It’s a story of self discovery and it balances humour and romance really well. The story’s genuineness makes it a good read and a gives you a sense of escape for a little while.

Sometimes there’s a right person for one half of your life, and a right person for the other…
After twenty years of quiet, contented marriage, Mary Black can’t help but find her eyes drawn to a particularly handsome man at a Christmas party. But her world is suddenly turned upside down when she sees her husband Leo next to him, holding his hand…
For the sake of her children, Mary has no choice but to pick herself back up and start again. She hosts a family Christmas that includes her ex-husband and his new partner. She copes with her children wanting to spend less time with her, and more time with their “fun” dads. And she tries her VERY best to ignore Leo’s hunk of a brother, who has been living in New York for many years, but has just come back to town…
As Mary tries to reshape her future, the past unravels, exposing secrets and lies that rewrite the story of her life and leave her questioning where her loyalties really should lie. After living a life of sliding doors and missed opportunities, can she finally put herself first and take a chance that could change everything? Sometimes life begins at the end of your comfort zone…
