ABOUT THE BOOK
Widowed at a young age after a disastrous marriage, Cassie Robichaud has settled into a quiet life with narrow boundaries: the restaurant where she works, the “Spinster Hotel” where she lives, and the sad, constant awareness of how long it has been since she has been with a man. Cassie moves through her daily routine clad in bleak practicality—hair in a hasty ponytail, sensible work shoes, stained shirt—escaping only briefly with a run through her neighborhood, chats with her boss and friend, Will, and a voyeur’s longing for the romantic happiness that seems to come so easily to her patrons. When one of them leaves behind a notebook full of salacious sexual details, Cassie gets her first glimpse into a new world of sexual empowerment.… And her first introduction to the unusual sorority that will transform her life. Dedicated to passion, pleasure, and sensual discovery, S.E.C.R.E.T. is all about women living their sexual lives to the fullest.… And for Cassie, it’s the key to sexual emancipation at last.
