"This moving tale of regret and compromise values a sense of family over lonely career advancement, yet thankfully avoids positing marriage and children as a strong woman's only reprieve from alienation."--Publisher's Weekly.

When They Took Away the Man in the Moon

Thorndike Pr

What happens when love strikes twice--and the second time it does you are already satisfactorily, even happily, married? Michelle Banyon has a successful career as a lifestyle guru and "efficiency consultant." She lives in Manhattan with her kind but thoroughly overworked husband, an international lawyer who spends far more time in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bombay than he does in their Fifth Avenue apartment. They are the perfect twenty-first-century couple: successful, attractive, self-sufficient, and understanding of the all-too-frequent absences that can sometimes make theirs a virtual marriage. While lecturing in Texas, Michelle literally runs into Wilson Collins as she's backing out of a parking space. The handsome Texan is badly banged up and Michelle feels just awful. She performs one kindness after another as she tries to get him medical help and then get him home. A friendship blooms and, almost as quickly, love does, too. Unlike everyone else in Michelle's life, Wilson has simple needs and desires and, to her immense surprise, she finds that she is someone very different when she’s with him. It’s not that she doesn't love her husband--she does. She just happens to love two men, and the second one wants to marry her, too. Have you ever wondered how many different lives a person could live or how very different one's life might be if fate were to intervene at exactly the right moment? Could you be happy living two entirely different lives? Sit back and enjoy Kate Lehrer's romantic, thought-provoking novel that is simultaneously smart and playful, poignant and compulsively readable.

"What's best about 'Out of Eden' is its brave, complicated ideas about women and the West … Kate Lehrer, who previous novel, 'When They Took Away the Man in the Moon,' also dealt with the conflicting desires of a strong woman, stakes out fascinating turf here … This is terrific material for full-bodied storytelling … One can almost imagine a clever director turning this saga of Victorian gentlewomen into a cowgirls' Thelma and Louise." -- The Washington Post
