Synopsis

When Laurie married Greg, she was certain they would live happily ever
after. Greg was charming, loving, and everything Laurie thought she'd
ever need. Now twelve years have passed—and Laurie and Greg have six sons
to show for it. Supporting such a large family is tough on Greg's graphic
designer salary, but the Wrights make do—until the stress of living so close
to the brink takes its toll. Laurie doesn't know how much longer she can cope
with Greg's moods— or if she even wants to try.
Overworked and underpaid, Greg is itching to reach beyond his dead-end job
and give Laurie and the boys everything they deserve. But he knows he can't
thrive at work when he and Laurie barely talk anymore. When Laurie gets a job
to help make ends meet, Greg feels like he's losing her forever. All Greg wants
is for Laurie to love him the way she once did. But when things go from bad to
worse, Laurie and Greg's marriage will be tested as it's never been tested before.
The crossroads they face will be one with many choices.
But will it lead each of them down different roads forever?

From Booklist:

After 13 years of marriage, Greg and Laurie Wright are at the breaking point. His job is going nowhere, leaving him at the mercy of his overly critical and emotionally distant father and at a disadvantage when compared to his successful younger brother. With six boys and no job, Laurie has little self-esteem as she struggles to keep arguments with Greg from ending in threats of violence. Job woes that eventually end with Greg relocating to Chicago give Laurie a chance at a career and a surreptitious Internet romance that make her hesitate to move the family from Augusta, Georgia. She likes her newfound independence and clings to denial that she is partly responsible for the crumbling marriage. She provokes Greg to near violence, involving her oldest son as he seeks to protect her and nursing her feelings of being a victim. Slowly, Greg and Laurie learn to rely on faith and own up to their individual responsibilities for their marriage, finally finding a way to rebuild their relationship. Vanessa Bush
