Split Ends Beth Rubin

Faced with her husband's infidelity, Ellen Gold has no place to hide. She must confront the reality of her dead marriage. But at 50, she can't figure out where she's been, where she is and where she's going. Tapping a wellspring she doesn't know she has, Ellen finds the strength to wrestle with her frailties. Just as she starts to win, a high school boyfriend charms her into bed...then disappears. Ellen must again fight rejection. All her doubts and fears rise up to engulf her. With humor and intellect, and help from friends who know her better than she knows herself, Ellen takes charge of her own life. Her experience is one that most women, and some men, will see as a metaphor, and roadmap, for their own lives.
