When your marriage fails, you have a choice. You can curl up on the couch with a tub of ice cream and wallow in self-pity...or you can pick yourself up and search for a better life with a better man.

Kelly Green was faced with this choice.

She was the quintessential American wife and working mother of four small children. She had it all and did it all; her hobbies were interior decorating, Pilates, school fundraisers, and book clubs - basically, all the stuff women think they're "supposed" to do.

Then her "perfect" world was rocked by betrayal and divorce...and Kelly threw out her ice cream, put on a sexy dress, and spent a year rediscovering what it was really like to live.

She partied with and dated Hollywood's A-list, powerful Wall Street traders, elite art collectors, Argentinian polo players, and chart-topping indie rock stars. Her road to recovering her self-esteem was paved with late nights, wild flings, and rare company.

Through it all, Kelly questioned everything she thought she knew about marriage, love, and settling for the quiet routines of suburban motherhood.

Told with unflinching honesty, her debut memoir is the bare-all story of a headstrong woman in search of a better inner life - with or without a better man.
