Playwright Colette Freedman's debut novel presents a realistic and clever tale of infidelity, miscommunication, and emotions. Robert Walker is torn between two women – his wife of 18 years and his mistress of 18 months. Just as Robert is on the verge of making a life-changing decision, his wife discovers the affair and confronts the mistress. Freedman relates the same story from the perspective of each character, respectively, to reveal each person's gaps in understanding.
