Divorcing her husband because the marriage isn't working and quitting her job because she's not fulfilled, Regina Everette trades a lifestyle for a life. As her choices affect her family and friends, she falls into a new career and a new relationship, certain she'll live and love on her own terms.With a voice as vivid and sassy as her characters, national bestselling author Donna Hill introduces readers to a gutsy, unforgettable heroine they will applaud from the first page to the last--a woman who boldly, blindly, dares to trade a lifestyle for a life. For someone who's always played by the rules, Regina Everette has broken some doozies lately. First, she divorces a perfectly good provider--and the father of her two children--simply because their marriage wasn't working. Now she's quit her job simply because she wasn't fulfilled. Her kids are shell-shocked. Her girlfriends are scandalized. Her mother is appalled. Nobody knows what on earth she's doing...including Regina herself. Unemployed and unattached, exhilarated and scared to death, Regina fumbles her way into an existence that has no boundaries. As her choices create a ripple effect through the lives of her family and friends, she falls headlong into a new career and a new relationship, certain of just one thing: from here on in, she'll live--and love--on her terms.
