About this listen

In motherhood and marriage, is anything ever really simple?

June Cannon has spent the last seventeen years of her life as a devoted mom and wife, but when her husband, Camp, doesn't come home for dinner—again—and her teenage daughter calls her simple, she's had enough. Inspired by a podcast, her way forward becomes clear: get a divorce, get a job, and show her kids she's anything but simple.

As soon as she tells Camp she wants a divorce, he becomes the husband he hasn't been for years, blurring the lines between what's real and what's pretend for the sake of their kids.

She quickly realizes that nothing—including her life, no matter what her kids think—is simple. As June catapults herself into the world at age forty to build a life outside of her family's needs, a romantic interest from the past returns to town, giving her the attention she's missed.

When the unhealed wounds of kept secrets and loss are reopened, June must decide between the wild and free life she thinks she wants and the seemingly simple one she already has.

For mature listeners.
