Two-Faced
Deliah Rose is one hot mama. Literally. At 46, she's perimenopausal, fears she will spontaneously combust during an embarrassing hot flash, and has hormonally driven mood swings wider than an eighteen-wheeler's turns. Those are her good days — before she realizes that her husband is in love with a girl barely out of a training girdle.
Rocked by her husband's duplicity, the formerly happy wife of advertising mogul Zachary Rose, reluctantly acknowledges that her marriage can't be salvaged. Having seen herself as part of an indivisible unit, a couple, for 25 years, she is unsure of her own identity without Zach. Deliah starts spiraling toward depression; however, her best friend and confidante, Anna, won't allow her to shut down. Anna points out, since she can't revert to a single, adult Deliah who never existed, her only option is to become the strong, independent woman she would have been had she never met Zachary Rose. The special friendship of these two women whose love and support for one another is unconditional is vital to Deliah's recovery.
With the dissolution of her marriage pending, her self-worth and, she fears, her desirability gone, Deliah struggles to overcome feelings of rejection, humiliation, and inadequacy. Trying to reinvent herself socially, she finds the notion of a new romance is less apt to involve throbbing members and heaving bosoms than throbbing insecurities and heaving from nerves.

The story of Deliah Rose is a familiar one to any woman who is at the perimenopausal stage in her life, couple this with an unfaithful spouse and I am now on familiar territory. The writer paints a picture using first person scenarios to allow the reader to take ownership to the story. As Deliah life spirals out of control as everything that’s familiar that she depends on, is denied her, she’s on the brink of total collapse, but for the unwavering support of her best friend, Anna.
The author weaves together her plots beautifully to show that a faithful best friend is someone everyone should have. That in time of emotional crisis, it’s the love and support of that one true best friend that can pull you through. A true survivalist story.
