A Problem Shared

She only went to the park to sit. He only went there for the quiet. Neither of them expected the bench to change anything.

Sue is thirty-four, happily married in every way that matters except one, and has spent eight years telling herself that what's missing simply isn't worth mentioning. James is a retired GP, recently widowed, with nothing scheduled and no particular plan for his mornings. What begins as a stranger's kindness on a park bench becomes something neither of them saw coming, patient, honest, and entirely on her terms.

Over the course of a year, Sue learns to ask for what she wants for the first time in her life. What she discovers about herself, and who else she discovers it with, takes her somewhere she never expected a crying fit on a park bench to lead.

A frank, explicit novella about permission, patience, and the courage it takes to say what you actually want.
