The Things That Fall Away
Judith’s marriage to Adam is failing fast. Despite her best efforts, his attention is entirely taken up by his law practice while her existence—if he remembers it—is merely something to criticize. Thankfully, Judith has an antique shop and her best friend and business partner, Susan, to keep her focused on the good things in life.
Tired of being overlooked and undervalued, Judith decides to leave her husband and reconnect with herself as a single woman rather than as Adam’s wife.
Soon, Judith’s world expands to include a support group of women also facing divorce. Slowly learning to extend to herself the same compassion she offers her friends, Judith begins to rediscover her own value as a person and as a woman.
And her efforts don’t go unnoticed. While Judith rebuilds her life, with the encouragement of her growing circle of friends, a secret admirer starts leaving thoughtful gifts on her doorstep—which she begins to hope will lead to a face-to-face meeting.
A celebration of friendship and love, where every character counts, The Things That Fall Away is an insightful story that brings to light the beauty of everyday things and the wonder of being truly cherished.

I received this book through Good Reads FirstReads.
This book shows the growth of a woman, Judith, throughout her failing marriage, her decision to leave Adam, her successful business practices. Judith, with the support of a few very good friends comes to terms with being a single woman, and being successful in her life. I loved the characters, and some of them were definitely characters in every sense of the word. There were laugh-out-loud moments along with those that brought tears to my eyes. Truly a heart-warming book.
