HAPPILY EVER AFTER? CHILDHOOD FAIRY TALES ARE FULL OF PROMISES, BUT THE REALITY - LIFE - IS A VERY DIFFERENT STORY. AND THAT STORY HAS A HELL OF A LOT TO TEACH US. Writing with searing honesty, wry humour and endless warmth, Christina Ford takes us on a real-life Sex and the City-like journey as she looks back on four decades of dates, loves, marriages, friends, frenemies, affairs, divorces, parenting disasters and step-parenting nightmares. Bravely and candidly, she shares heartrending details of the betrayal and hurt caused by the end of her marriage, shows how she overcame her fears about starting again and lets us in on the secret of the perfectly timed fling that was more effective than years of therapy
