In her gorgeously written memoir, Kelly McMasters navigates through–and ultimately out of–the very real yet unmappable space that a marriage occupies. Her story is one of a kind and yet pieces feel familiar: the gradual estrangement, the power imbalances, the anguish around the decision to stay or go, and the surprising discovery that, as a single mother, 'the load felt lighter, the house brighter.' This book, written by a complete stranger, made me feel a sense of community. What a profound gift.–Maggie Smith, author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful
