Wives of the Saints Kathy Cecala

Best friends Grace and Miranda, good Catholic girls of a certain age, find themselves at odds with their 'saintly' husbands after decades of marriage. Grace plots an escape from her well-meaning but overbearing husband, while Miranda struggles with a spike in libido and a disinterested spouse. But Fulton and Sal, former seminary classmates, have their own devils to deal with: Fulton fights his attraction to a flighty younger woman and his own (unfounded) fears that Grace is developing dementia; while Sal contends with 'performance issues' and the sudden appearance of Miranda's 'starter' husband, a man he didn't even know existed. At stake are two marriages and four distinct friendships, and the tools at hand include humor, enduring love, a little faith and lots of chocolate. This novel contains some (mild) adult scenes, a bit of snarkiness and the occasional profanity: Definitely for mature (but experienced) readers!
