Taking Back Maryellen Black by Lisa Childs
If you're not familiar with the book, here's a synopsis I came up with:
Maryellen Black's marriage was n't part of her original script, but calling it quits granted her hard-earned wisdom: The truly significant elements of life were n't things, but people she holds dear. In her case, those people are endearing eccentricities she calls family – people more than willing to embrace her leading role – if only she would accept the spotlight role. That's why Maryellen is beginning her second act – her return home – and feels confident she's ready to roll out the curtain on Her Life playing a bold, strong, independent single mother with two children. She's fully clothed and ready to conquer the world...and reclaim the full person she was always meant to be."
Если книга незнакома вам, то вот её описание: A starter marriage hasn't been the movie for Mary Ellen Black she expected, but exiting now offers hard-earned insight: Nothin' important happens in life, it's all people, the family who takes her for granted, who would love nothing in her place. In her case, a string of loveless people she calls family, who are there just as glad to see her headlining roll as if only she could really play the role. And so now, Mary Ellen has decided on a second act, her return to her family's living room, and she's almost certain she'll be prepared for her solo theatre performance, Her Life: A Life of One. She's had a lot of practice getting dressed – and getting ready to step in the world – and finally ready to get back into who she truly is meant to be."
