<b>In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series <i>Y</i><i><i>o</i>unger</i>, the editors at Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read <i>Marriage Vacation, </i>an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks. Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it. Now you can read what the hype is about--including page 58 that had everyone buzzing (...and blushing). </b> <p/> <b><i>Marriage Vacation</i> is for anyone who has ever fantasized about what it would be like to run away from it all.</b> <p/>By all appearances, Kate Carmichael has the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a prewar townhouse on the Upper East Side, and a husband who runs one of the most successful publishing companies in New York. <p/> But when Kate attends a wedding and reconnects with successful friends from graduate school, she suddenly sees her life in a different light: the career she didn't pursue, the dreams she's locked away, the empty veneer of her privilege. <p/> When the wedding weekend ends, instead of heading home to her husband and family, Kate gets on a plane and flies halfway around the world. She claims it's just going to be for a week--two max--just so she can clear her head and reconnect with her lost dreams. But the adventure doesn't go quite as planned. <p/> This provocative and gripping novel asks: Is a wife and mother allowed to have a midlife crisis? And, if she does, can she ever be forgiven? <p/> PRAISE FOR <i>Marriage Vacation</i> <p/> <i>"Marriage Vacation</i> has everything you want an in a novel: fascinating characters, drama, secrets, emotional reckonings, and far-flung adventure. If you love <i>Younger</i>, you'll love this book. If you've never watched an episode of <i>Younger</i> (you should change that), you'll still love this book. And just wait until you read page 58 "<br> --<b>Darren Star</b>, creator of <i>Sex and The City</i> and <i>Younger</i> <p/> "This brilliant romp helps us understand why Liza was so excited to discover the manuscript, how any woman could leave the dreamy Charles, and what exactly Pauline--by way of her fictional alter ego, Kate Carmichael--did on that mysterious Marriage Vacation. Pack this heartfelt, insightful, funny, sexy book when you take a vacation of your own."<br> --<b>Pamela Redmond Satran</b>, author of <i>Younger</i>
