The Single Wife

"Like a particularly sharp episode of Sex and the City, the novel poses a provocative question-does a woman need a man to feel 'married'?-and goes about answering it with both flair and heart." (Elle) Grace Brookman thought she had it all-until her husband went out one day and never came back. Suddenly Grace is left responsible for everything, including covering up for her AWOL husband. Leaving traces of him everywhere, she discovers that a marriage can be reduced to a few timely excuses and well-placed props, some spilled crumbs here, some dirty laundry there. But then Laz's sordid past shows up on her doorstep, along with a few other surprises, turning her New York life into mess. As a single wife, Grace finally realizes it's time to take matters into her own hands...
