Escape by Barbara Delinsky


Feb 25, 2012

Calgon take me away!  One morning, Manhattan attorney, thirty something Emily, wakes up to the realization that neither her personal life (married to James, thirty something driven attorney), nor her professional life (corporate attorney drone in a large firm) are what she wanted when she graduated from law school and imagined her future life.  So, Emily packs a few things, throws them in the car and starts driving with no real destination in mind.  She shuts off her Blackberry after leaving messages for her husband and boss and then just drives. 

Emily ends up in a small New Hampshire town where she spent one (in her memory wonderful) summer with her best friend and working at an animal refuge ten years ago.  Her best friend, Vicki Bell, still lives there and takes Emily in while she decides what she wants out of life and who she wants in her life.  Throw in a visit from an old flame and her confused husband and Emily is in a quandary. Does she want her husband or her old flame?  Does she want to go back to the big city or is small town life more her style?

Find out what Emily decides when you escape with Barbara Delinsky’s Escape.
