Publisher Description
Marcy Hammer's life has been turned upside down. Her husband, the head of a global brassiere empire, didn't think twice about leaving her after thirty-three years of marriage for a 32DD lingerie model. Now Harvey the Home-Wrecker is missing in action, but Marcy's through thinking about what a cliché he is. What she needs now is a party-size bag of potato chips, a good support system, and a new dress.
Striking out on her own is difficult at first, but Marcy manages to find traces of humor in her heartbreak. Even while devastated by Harvey's departure, she still has her indomitable spirit and her self-respect. She has no intention of falling apart, either, even when her adult children drop a few bombshells of their own and she discovers a secret about her new, once-in-a-lifetime friend. Life may be full of setbacks, but by lifting herself up by her own lacy straps, Marcy just may be able to handle them all.

ENTERTAINING!
Lift and Separate by Marilyn Simon Rothstein is quite entertaining! This is the story of Marcy Hammer. Her husband Harvey is the head of a global lingerie empire specializing in brassieres. She’s been married to the King of Brassieres for thirty-three years, reared their three children and met his every need. Her thanks was his affair with a twenty-two year old lingerie model. How does Marcy handle this? Rothstein shows readers how in her wonderful debut novel filled realistic characters who find themselves thrown together because of life changing circumstances and develop long lasting relationships. Marcy herself embodies the true definition of “lift and separate” as she always tries her best to “lift” everyone around her to be the best they can be and to “lift” their spirits and she also learns what it means to “separate” from the only man she has ever loved, from her mother, from her children as they become adults and from her “normal”. This book will make you laugh and make you think.
