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.

What’s wrong with her?Book Club Recommendations
