At 39 Inette Millar had been the envy of all her friends. She had been married for 16 years to a loving husband, had 2 wonderful sons and lived in a dream farmhouse. At 40 Inette had walked out on all of this, had an affair, split up with her lover and was living alone in a tiny flat - ostracized from family and friends. This is an honest account of a woman's journey of self-discovery. It is a story of anger, of exhilaration, of guilt and despair. It is also an account of how the middle years can be a period of challenge and immense personal growth.
