Book Number:RC 51223
3 sound cassettes
Jake, who married Mattie sixteen years ago because she was pregnant, leaves her for his latest mistress. Meanwhile, Mattie experiences odd symptoms and learns she has Lou Gehrig’s disease. When Jake insists on moving back in, the couple’s relationship slowly changes. Some explicit descriptions of sex and some strong language. 2000.
I was hesitant about this book. I thought it would be a bit on the sad or depressing side. I am so glad I read it. It was a truly great story. I'll be honest, it's a hard one to read but well worth the effort. I won't say any more, I don't want to give anything away. I give it a big 5 out of 5.
Happy Reading,
Carla/TexasRed
