Summary

Living by Ear
Summary
Singer-songwriter Christine Daley hit the streets of Boston and became a minor celebrity - with a local radio hit - in the 90s, but a "brief" career break to marry and start a family changed all that. Now, 16 years later, she's a frustrated suburban housewife, struggling to reestablish her sense of identity. After filing for divorce, 46-year-old Chris quickly learns that the challenges she faces are even greater than anticipated. Her two teenage children suddenly seem to need their mom more than ever, and neither of them is thrilled about her getting back on the music scene. Meanwhile, her soon-to-be-ex-husband is throwing every possible obstacle in her way. Adding to the stress is technological progress, which has radically changed both the music industry and the dating world. Is there room in this new mix for Chris? Evolved Publishing presents a newly revised and edited second edition of a critically-acclaimed literary/women's fiction piece sure to capture your imagination.
