At 32, Russell Green has it all: a stunning wife, a lovable six year-old daughter, a successful career as an advertising executive and an expansive home. He is living the dream, and his marriage to the bewitching Vivian is the center of that. But underneath the shiny surface of this perfect existence, fault lines are beginning to appear, and no one is more surprised than Russ when he finds every aspect of the life he took for granted turned upside down. In a matter of months, Russ finds himself without a job or wife, caring for his young daughter, and struggling to adapt to a new and baffling reality. Throwing himself into the wilderness of single parenting, Russ embarks on a journey at once terrifying and rewarding -- one that will test his abilities and his emotional resources beyond anything he ever imagined. "A sus treinta y dos años, Russell Green lo tiene todo: una impresionante esposa, una hija adorable de seis años, una exitosa carrera como ejecutivo de publicidad y una gran casa en Charlotte. Russell vive en medio de un sueño, y su matrimonio con la encantadora Vivian es el centro de su existencia. Pero debajo de esta vida perfecta, empiezan a aparecer los problemas y Russ está a punto de descubrir que varios aspectos de su vida que daba por sentados darán un giro por completo. En cuestión de meses, Russell se queda sin trabajo y sin mujer, y deberá luchar para adaptarse a una nueva y desconcertante realidad. Descubriendo el desierto de la vida uniparental, Russell se embarcará en un viaje aterrador a la vez que gratificante y que pondrá a prueba sus habilidades y sus recursos emocionales más allá de lo que nunca habría imaginado."--Casadellibro.
