Description

When Katrina, a 46-year-old Midwestern mother of four, becomes consumed with feelings for her female Pilates instructor, she begins to understand that she is and always has been gay.

Her husband suggests they open up their 20+ year marriage, which appears to be a reasonable solution to their dilemma. But when Katrina and her husband have different ideas of what an open marriage should like, the cracks in their white-picket-fence life are hit with a hurricane-force fury.

Lies. Threats. Abuse. Gaslighting. An involuntary psych ward commitment. Can their marriage survive so many betrayals? Should it?

Critical Reviews

"Willis is an important new voice in American memoir."- Alice Anderson, Author of Some Bright Morning I'll Fly Away

"This beautifully written book starts with a total loss of self, but builds toward the emboldened reclamation of sexuality, desire, and raw courage that it takes to be a woman in America today. A knockout of a memoir; a tempest of a life. - Courtney Maum, Author of The Year of the Horses: A Memoir

"..a stunning, honest, and raw recounting of one woman's brave fight to finally honor who she truly is. If you're thinking it's too late, it isn't. This beautiful story is proof. - Julie Barton. New York Times Bestselling Author of Dog Medicine, How My Dog Saved Me From Myself
