Introduction

What does a nationally known marriage expert do when her own marriage falls apart? Just as Jillian Galloway sets out for a publicity tour to promote her new book, her husband drops a bombshell: He wants a divorce. Jill flees to her parents? home in the California desert, wondering whether everything she's built her career on--indeed, everything she's built her life around--is a sham. Navigating this side road of life is an uphill climb that leads to new understandings about herself, her marriage, and her relationship with the One who created marriage.

Discussion Questions

1. Jill is all about succeeding at marriage. What are you “all about?” What would happen if you failed at it?
2. Compare Viv and Marty’s marriage to Jack and Jill’s.
3. The desert is often used as a metaphor for a difficult time in one’s life. Talk about Jill’s desert experiences.
Have you had any? What gift did you receive from it?

Notes From the Author to the Bookclub

Note from author Sally John:

I wanted to explore a couple on the brink of divorce after 25 decent years together. Jill Galloway hosts a radio show devoted to the topic of marriage and how to keep it healthy. Suddenly everything she has believed and taught turns to hogwash. What’s wrong with her husband? What’s wrong with her?
