This Is Not The Story You Think It Is: A Season of Unlikely Happiness

A memoir of a woman presented with her husband’s mid-life crisis. By the time Laura Munson had turned 40, her life was not how she thought it would turn out. Career success had eluded her; her beloved father was no longer around to be her biggest cheerleader; and her husband wanted out of their marriage. Instead of giving into the drama, the author practices self-love, restraint, and ultimately support towards her husband. It’s inspiring–not because it has a storybook happy ever after ending, but it proves that we do have the  power to alter the quality of our lives.
