a memoir of sex and dating after a marriage ends

If you'd told 46-year old Laura Friedman Williams that in a few years she'd be having some of the best sex of her life with men who were not her husband, she'd have laughed in your face. She was a happily married stay-at-home mother with three children and plans to grow old with her husband. Sure, their sex had become a little formulaic, and yes, their life together mostly revolved around their kids, but whose doesn't? Then came the shocking, utterly cliched discovery of his affair. Five months of emotional turmoil later, Laura found herself single for the first time in 27 years and with two choices: to eke out her existence, or reinvent herself. A little encouragement from her friends and one astonishing one-night stand later, she realised that she had a sexual appetite she'd never explored, and that being a mother didn't mean she had to ignore it. She could be independent, a good mother, and have a great sex life all at the same time... couldn't she? From G-spots to bald spots, dirty talk to dating fiascos, Available is the unflinchingly honest, empowering, and humorous true story of a life turned downside up
