A New York Times bestselling author and ex-wife of famed
producer Brian Grazer, Levangie Grazer has her finger on the pulse of the
charmed LA lifestyle. In her bestselling novels, including The Starter Wife (which became a miniseries and then a series on
USA Network starring Debra Messing and was great!), she has brought us stories
of women dealing with life’s daily challenges with both humor and heart.
THE AFTER WIFE is a charming and spirited tale of love—both
lost and found. L.A. is no place for widows. This is what forty-four-year-old
Hannah Bernal quickly discovers after the tragic death of her handsome and
loving husband, John. Misery and red-rimmed eyes are little tolerated in the
land of the beautiful. But life stumbles on: Hannah’s sweet three-year-old
daughter, Ellie, needs to be dropped off at her overpriced preschool, while
Hannah herself must get back to work in order to pay the bills on “Casa Sugar,”
the charming Spanish-styled bungalow they call home.
Fortunately, Hannah has her “Grief Team” for emotional
support: earth mother and fanatical animal lover Chloe, who finds a potential
blog post in every moment; aspiring actress Aimee, who has her cosmetic surgeon
on speed dial; and Jay, Hannah’s TV producing partner, who has a penchant for
Mr. Wrong. But after a series of mishaps and bizarre occurrences, one of which
finds Hannah in a posh Santa Monica jail cell, her friends start to fear for
her sanity. To make matters worse, John left their financial affairs in a
disastrous state. And when Hannah is dramatically fired from her latest
producing gig, she finds herself in danger of losing her house, her daughter,
and her mind.
One night, standing in her backyard under a majestic avocado
tree, in the throes of grief, Hannah breaks down and asks, “Why?” The answer
that comes back—Why not?—begins an astounding journey of discovery and
transformation that leads Hannah to her own truly extraordinary life after
death.
THE AFTER WIFE will spice up any summer reading list and is
the perfect beach read.
