Some say life begins at forty.
Cyn Mckinley hopes so since her former life is over. Home foreclosure, a cross-country move, and hidden drinking problem pretty much killed it. Being crushed by crippling anxiety doesn’t help.
When she discovers that her husband's new boss is the monster who forcibly took her virginity in high school, she spirals further down. Struggling to process this revelation, she conceals it from her husband because they need his job.
