Eric Jerome Dickey strides boldly over the minefield that is modern marriage. The central couple's biggest challenge is timing: He works days; she works nights. Instead of growing together, they're rapidly drifting apart, coexisting on stolen phone calls from work, punctuated by occasional bedroom encounters that leave them both feeling even emptier and more alone. When she finds out about his affair - and starts her own - the delicate fabric of their marriage is torn irrevocably asunder. Or is it?

Not a Christian Book
The storyline was fair and predictable. I purchased this book under the category of "Christian Fiction." After listening to the book, the crushing was definitely not Christian! The ending was as expected, no suspense or praises!!
