Thera

A woman who suddenly decides to forsake her husband for brilliant fantasies of freedom and independence, confronts a complicated reality: unexpected isolation, awakening doubts, guilt, sorrow, and the troubles of her small son trying to adapt to a new situation. Paradoxically, the family that Ella Miller destroys becomes a radiant fantasy in itself, and Ella sinks into an agonizing longing for the secure framework of her previous life, even when a new love finally comes her way. And this continues even when she tries to build a family with her new love and his children. The new life turns out to be an unbelievably complicated learning process, a path paved with upsets that at times demand more of her than she ever thought she could give.

Thera, the third novel in a trilogy (beginning with Love Life and Husband and Wife) sheds light on our complex world of emotions, on how difficult it is to accept not only the other but oneself, examining to what extent it is possible in mid-life to change, forgive and love.
