LIFT AND SEPARATE (Marilyn Simon Rothstein)

This is a new author for me and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a fun way to spend an evening. Marcy Hammer is a wonderful heroine, relatable, practical, and real.  Devastated when her bra-baron husband, Harvey, leaves her for one of his fitting models after 33 years of marriage, her main goal is to get him back and restore their marriage and family.  When her mother is hospitalized, Harvey is there, apologetic and attentive, until he confesses that his affair has had unexpected consequences that Marcy considers.to be an insurmountable obstacle to continuing her life with him.

Marcy deals with her mother's illness, her children's mistakes, and her own life situation with grace and ingenuity.  She is someone that I would like to have as a friend.  I loved her compassion and her approach to life and the dilemmas that it throws at us. I'm looking forward to reading more by Ms. Rothstein.
