THE NAKED TRUTH: A 49 Year old divorced mom. Five new lovers. One Audacious Adventure
Smart, provocative, revealing and perceptive, THE NAKED TRUTH will have vast appeal for the women's memoir readership that made The Kiss, Wild, and Eat, Pray, Love such major successes.
Leslie Morgan, bestselling author of Crazy Love and Mommy Wars, was a mom turning fifty, reeling from divorce and determined to reclaim her life. In a radical break with convention, she dedicates a year to searching for five new lovers, reclaiming the rapture absent in a life of minivans and mom jeansand finding a profound new sense of self-worth.
When Leslie Morgan divorced after a twenty-year marriage plagued by suspicions of infidelity and lack of intimacy, both her self-esteem and romantic optimism were shattered. She was determined to avoid the cliché of a lonely, middle-aged divorcee lamenting her stretch marks and begging her kids to help craft an online dating profile. Instead, Leslie celebrates her independence by seeking out the erotic adventures and authentic connections long missing from her marriage with an audacious plan: devote a year to finding five lovers.
Confident, empowered, occasionally downright brazen, Leslie embarks on a journey of scintillating romantic entanglements with men she meets at yoga, in the airport, and who resurface from her past. Equally provocative are the discoveries she makes along the way about sex, aging, men, self-confidence, and herself.
Brimming with blush-worthy details that make this read a true-life Fifty Shades of Grey, The Naked Truth is simultaneously powerful and empowering, a wildly entertaining memoir about a typical suburban mom who embraces her independence and whose adventures prove that it's never too late to revel in your sexuality and the joys of romantic connection.
Journalist Leslie Morgan has throughout her career explored the complex inner dialogues of women, reconnoitering the zeitgeist of womanhood, examining relationships, women's sense of self, work-family balance, and motherhood. Leslie is a columnist for ModernMom.com and former columnist for WashingtonPost.com. Her TED talk, From the Ivy League to a Gun at My Head, has over 3.5 million views. She has appeared on NPR, the Today show, The Diane Rehm Show, MSNBC, and Fox News. She holds a BA in English from Harvard University and an MBA from The Wharton School of Business. She lives with her three children in Washington, DC. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Crazy Love, Mommy Wars and The Baby Chase.
