Author: Tracy H. Tucker
Release date: July 16, 2012
Synopsis:
Christine Bacon has a fatal attraction. To all things fatal.
A veteran hypochondriac, her near-death experiences are exacerbated when her
husband proposes they have a menage a
trois with Eleanor, his busty British massage therapist, to "shake
things up." Christine reluctantly agrees (although she is more wholesome
than threesome), never expecting just how much she'd be rattled. As her
marriage to Richard, a/k/a "Dick," falls apart, so, too, does
Christine, whose fear of her own demise causes her to research every freckle,
blemish, cough, bump, lump, tingle and hiccup. She isn't a doctor, but she
plays one on the internet.
There is solace for Christine: in raising daughters Lily and Carli, leaning on
her friends, and wearing out the shower massager. In order to heal, she
struggles to become her own person and to view her symptoms (and ex-husband) as
less malignant, while searching for that special someone who will love
her--despite her grave condition.
