Tanja Davia Tucker’s evocative second novel, Three Days in Amsterdam, is the story of Beth, a woman forced to examine the ruins of her life during a trip to Amsterdam.

At thirty-eight, Beth feels her life is spiraling out of control. Her marriage of seventeen years has left her feeling empty and unfulfilled, though she’s spent all her time and energy trying to be a good wife and mother. When their sixteen-year-old son, Troy, the one bright spot in Beth’s life, gets into a mysterious accident, Dennis, her older husband, insists she cannot see him and prevents them from having contact.

Beth has spent almost two decades posturing as a happily married woman, but when her son disappears, the facade begins to disintegrate. Desperate to distract herself, she joins her husband on one of his business trips to Amsterdam, where a most-unlikely stranger chips away at Beth’s long-held beliefs.

Over the course of several days, Beth learns that her marriage has been built on a foundation of lies and deceit. Finally, one exposed lie, too big to ignore, forces her to act. She must either challenge her perspective or return to her former existence. She must make a choice. The question is, which one will she make?

Three Days in Amsterdam reveals just how powerful a simple shift in perspective can be, and how there is wisdom to be found in the most unexpected places.
