"Now or Never"
A fed-up wife and mother goes on strike with drastic consequences.
Jennifer is fed up with her role as a servant to her husband and three children. A comfortable lifestyle in Minnesota lake country should be delightful. It is, for her family members. For her, it's become a tenure of never-ending, unpaid domestic labor. So, she impulsively goes on strike. Her run to the north woods, toddler son in tow, begins a series of unexpected and life-changing events.
Her two-year-old son disappears from the campsite on the second day. She flirts with adultery as the sheriff on the missing boy's case provides empathy, and more. The tsunami of life events continues as her entitled teens back home show their true colors, and her condescending husband admits to an affair.
This needed journey from home and marriage provides a chance to recover who she expected to be at this stage of her life. Learn to admire this strong woman whose courage restores her self-worth. Despite the challenges and angst her actions cause, going on strike was the right thing to do.
A must read for every woman who's ever been tempted to leave it all behind.
And for every man who wants to better understand the woman he lives with.
A resourceful and self-reliant female protagonist, as well as fascinating detail of her era and locale. Not only does the story have conflict and tension, but also tells of finding love and self-worth while overcoming social inequities.
