You have a wonderful life with two precious young children. You’re an award-winning author of young adult novels. Your husband calls you one day and says… “How’d you like to move to Shanghai for a year or two?” What an experience – rich culture, adventure abroad, exposing the children to a whole new world. Wow! So you pack up your house, your kids, your life and move half-way around the world and about three months later, you get another PHONE CALL from your husband…. “I’m in love with another woman.” Not only another woman, but his assistant. The primary reason for the move in the first place. Now what? My guest who lived through that cliché nightmare wrote her Survival Guide to help other women get through the first thirty days after the bombshell and as a set of marching orders to help them get back on track and reclaim their lives. And all with the intention of being better not bitter. It’s a win.
Guest: Justina Chen, award-winning young adult author of Return to Me, North of Beautiful, Girl Overboard and Nothing but the Truth (and a few white lies) and her first adult book, What Now – Survival Guide for the Blindsided and Brokenhearted
