What does a nationally known marriage expert do when her own marriage falls apart? Just as Jillian Galloway sets out for a publicity tour to promote her new book, her husband drops a bombshell: He wants a divorce. Jill flees to her parents' home in the California desert, wondering whether everything she's built her career on-indeed, everything she's built her life around-is a sham. Navigating this "e;side road"e; of life is an uphill climb that leads to new understandings about herself, her marriage, and her relationship with the One who created marriage.
