A Borrowed Life is the story of a Pastor's wife who is suddenly widowed at 49 years old. She (and you) realise that her life was limited and controlled by her husband and the expectations of a close knit congregation.
This is honest (unflinching) and also funny. She has a hook up and finds herself pregnant. Her adult daughter is horrified.
By the end of the book she (and you ) realise that she had given in rather than resisted and in many ways had limited herself. I have no idea why the book is so titled.
I haven't been able to do the story justice but hope you'll give it a go anyway.
