"For thirty years Liz has perfectly played the part of Mrs. Thomas Lightsey, exemplary pastor's wife and mother. But maintaining appearances for the congregation and catering to her demanding husband takes a toll, and she's lost herself in meeting the expectations of others. When Thomas suddenly dies, Liz feels shock, grief, and, to her surprise, the siren song of freedom. Dare she dream of a life to call her own? Despite the resistance of her daughter, Abigail, to even the smallest changes, Liz lands a role at the community theater. Inspired by new friends and the character she plays, she explores life's possibilities, including an unexpected--and steamy--relationship with her leading man. Just when Liz thinks she might be winning, life hits her with an unthinkable shock. She's pregnant at forty-nine. Torn between conflicting loyalties to her daughter, her lover, her unborn baby, and herself, can Liz find a way to rebuild her dream life one more time?"--Page [4] of cover.
