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.
About the Author: K. Wiley Sider has learned over the years that everyone has their own story, and that life doesn't always end up happily ever after. And in writing her contemporary novel The Things That Fall Away, she's experienced the catharsis that writing fiction can offer. Based on difficult times in Sider's own life, the story follows a woman who, facing divorce from her estranged husband, chooses to embrace life rather than run away from it. But it's not just one woman's story; as the author knows, everyone counts, and she layers her narrative with characters whose lives infringe upon and enrich one another's.
Sider lives in Maryland with her husband, two daughters, and two dogs.
