Official synopsis Publisher
“So Faith leaves her husband: “You drunk, me gone!” She drives her books, papers, and everyday wedding china to the dorms, where she takes up residence with her “student-athletes,” or, as she affectionately calls them, her “thugs.” But even Faith’s hilariously inventive attempts to interest her boys in something other than their batting averages aren’t enough to distract her from the pain of her failed marriage. She’s drawn to the radio, to the late-night sound of her husband’s sweet voice. When she hears that Jay has embarked on a “High on Wife Marathon” for sobriety, she rushes to his side, determined to believe, one more time, that he is sober. But Jay soon discovers something about his wife that sends him on one last deadly binge, one with consequences reaching far beyond their damaged marriage.”–BOOK JACKET.
