Nothing To Discuss

For almost twenty years, Joanne’s husband dragged their family city to city in search of the perfect job, the perfect lifestyle. His imposed prurient and alcoholic tendencies slowly eroded her confidence, her sense of self, and thwarted her every quest for a career.

As her sister’s funeral winds down, a simple phone call offering her temporary employment cracks open a window of friendship, discovery, and growth. Nothing to Discuss reads like a novel and weaves three distinct threads as the author navigates her grief while reconciling past challenges with her enlightened new world. Friendship and trust develop at work. Confiding in her boss helps her gain insight into her controlling, alcohol-riddled marriage. Her emotional growth gives Joanne confidence to claim the agency she seeks.
