eBook pre-orders available August 4, 2016.
Paperback available October 20, 2016.
Synopsis
Twelve women share one thing in common – the quest for being happily married to the men they chose; however, each one finds herself in an unexpected marital predicament. Inspired by real events and told from each woman’s perspective, these short stories are firsthand accounts detailing the realities of marriage well after each woman uttered, “I do.”
Four women represent The Voiceless Wife. Although circumstances vary, these women give their power away to friends and family. At some point, only they can determine next steps for their lives. The Detached Wife symbolizes five different ways wives can be disconnected from their husbands and themselves. Sex, intimacy and self-discovery are central to understanding these women’s narratives. The Committed Wife includes three women who demonstrate the depths of devotion. These final stories show that wives sometimes need more than loyalty to be happy.
Also included is an afterword by Relationship Coach, Anita Charlot. She gives valuable insights as to how and why some women become “unhappy” wives and what we as women can do to maintain healthier relationships.

Hi Katherine. First, I love cover. I love the concept of this book. I sometimes wonder how my husband tolerates being married to one wife who is, in fact, many different wives, depending on the day..or week…or month. I truly look forward to reading this and hope to gain some insight as well. Congratulations on an amazing cover.

Thanks so much for these compliments! I truly appreciate them. The eBook is available pre-order right now through Amazon. If you’re interested in the paperback then please do check back Oct 20th. I do hope these women’s stories inspire you in some way. There’s also an afterword by an online relationship coach that might be helpful. I’ve shared the first page on my blog and will give the link in a few.

Oh wow! I’m excited about this book by the description and certainly will be purchasing a copy! So very proud of you!!! As a wife myself I understand those frustrations and feeling like I am voiceless. Temptations to lean on man/woman for an ear and advice. It’s real! But spiritual warfare is even more so and that’s where the battle is won! Congrats my sister! Again so proud of you!!
