Hail Mary: A Contemporary Relationship Comedy (Equal and Opposite Reactions Trilogy #2)

Description

"A hilarious, bizarre, sometimes ribald tale of extended, blended families, swapped spouses and plenty of extramarital boinking." -R. Bruce Logan, author of As The Lotus Blooms

Trysta Wells Jablonski Miller is convinced that all men are snakes. If only she could stop charming them. But as the things she wants most in life―love, security, happy home, happy life, happy husband, happy wife―require a man, Trysta's strategy has always been to charm men with the one enticement she believes they are helpless to resist: sex and more sex.

However, Trysta's strategy has brought her only limited success, fleeting happiness, and four children from one or another of the husbands and lovers she's seduced or been seduced by since she was eighteen. Now her strategy is on the verge of unravelling altogether: Her new husband suspects―rightly―that the baby for whom he left his first wife to marry Trysta is not his.

Fearing this time around she'll lose her husband, the affluent lifestyle he's provided her, and custody of her children, Trysta is in the midst of plotting yet another desperate sexual "Hail Mary" when into her life comes Dr. Laura Cavanni, a keenly perceptive therapist who sets her on a winding path of interior discovery that will lead her to revelations about sexuality, desire, relationships, self-sufficiency, and the surprising naked truth about herself.

Hail Mary is the second book of the Equal and Opposite Reactions trilogy of poignant dramedies that together weave a continuing tale about human relationships and contemporary social issues.
