“Nina, life is so terribly short, and not doing anything at all means you’re wasting your life away, stuck in a place where the only thing you have to hold on to is fear of actually living.”

Nina has it all. A successful career, a good man, her darling daughters, and her beloved dog. Except she’s desperately, pathetically lonely, and has agreed with her husband that splitting up is the best thing to do. But what if it isn’t? Perhaps staying would have been better? Then she gets advice when she least expects it and decides to move on with her life.

“Son, you need to take a good fucking look at yourself and figure out if you like what you see. I don’t. You look ten years older than you should, and you’re also ridiculously out of shape.”

Matthias is the CEO of a large multinational company, he has a beautiful wife, and his twins are just out of college. Except, he works way too much, and things aren’t exactly great at home. His father finally delivers some harsh truths, and he decides that changes are due.

Starting over when you’re a divorced fifty-something isn’t easy.

But it’s absolutely possible.
