HER TURN

Katherine Ashenburg

Finally, a fabulous mature rom-com! For fans of the hit series "Grace and Frankie" and readers of Nora Ephron.
Liz is the personal essay editor of a page called "Her Turn" at a national newspaper in Washington, D.C. Divorced and the mother of a college-age son, she has a full life, including lots of friends and a clandestine affair with the married publisher of her newspaper, but she is still struggling with forgiveness for her ex-husband of 12 years.
One day, her tidy life is up-ended when a submission comes in from Seattle, from the woman who had an affair and later married Liz's ex-husband. Wife Two has no idea that she is sending an essay to Wife One and when the essay inadvertently gets published, all hell breaks loose in Liz's life including: breaking-up with her boss/lover, making what her son considers very bad choices with other men, and even experimenting with attending a Cuddle Party!

Will Liz ever find forgiveness for her ex-husband and happiness for herself?

Katherine Ashenburg has written articles for The New York Times and Toronto Life, among many others. Some of her books include The Mourner's Dance: What We Do When People Die, and The Dirt on Clean: An Unsanitized History (published in 12 countries) and her first novel Sofie & Cecilia. Like her protagonist Liz, Katherine was once a newspaper editor.
