From the back cover

For ten years, Cerise Snowden has been a devoted housewife, cooking balanced meals and riding her Vespa twenty minutes each day to deliver lunch to her husband, Jackson Holloway, at his office. She gave up her job for him, raised their two children, and let her own appearance fade, believing their family was enough.

Then a storm catches her at his workplace. Soaked and dishevelled, she asks to wait in the lobby until the rain eases, but Jackson is only concerned with how she looks to his colleagues. When one of them asks who she is, he calls her his cousin and pushes her out into the downpour.

That afternoon Cerise takes the children and moves into a rented apartment. When Jackson phones to scold her, she tells him she wants a divorce, and she means it. With the wedding money she never touched and her parents' words echoing in her mind, she faces a life she must rebuild alone.
