How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life

by Bernadette Strachan
How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life
How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life

Rediscovery and empowerment after personal upheaval.

If life's thrown you some curveballs, you'll empathize with Ruby Gallagher. As her world crumbles, she finds the strength to rebuild, and perhaps you'll find inspiration in her journey. Bernadette Strachan's blend of humor and resilience in "How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life" might be just what you need to see the silver lining in life's darkest clouds. With characters that feel like friends and a story that warms the heart, it's a read that can reaffirm the adage that sometimes, losing actually means winning.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

On the surface, Ruby Gallagher has the perfect life: an adoring husband, Manny, a beautiful home and a luxury lifestyle that involves shopping, holidays and not much else. It's safe, predictable - exactly what she needs after her turbulent past. Until one day it all collapses as Manny is arrested for fraud. And it seems it's not only his business deals that have been shady - Ruby discovers he's been hiding a mistress and son too. But as her designer lifestyle is repossessed, Ruby dusts herself down and starts again. With the help of some good friends, bad wine and a new business venture, Ruby discovers that she's a lot better off without her husband holding her back. If only he would see it that way ... Fabulous characters and a warm and funny story make How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life unputdownable.
