Finding the On-Ramp to Happiness
Becky is married. Check. With one son, in college. Check, check. Living a
perfectly ordinary life. Check. But she wants more. When an unexpected
offer for just that—from a dashing millionaire, no less—falls into her
lap, Becky embarks on a comic and poignant joyride that may change
everything forever.
