Über diesen Titel
A blindsided soon-to-be divorcée rediscovers herself in this witty, celebratory novel about a hard-fought comeback by the authors of The Better Half.
Two decades have passed since Callie Kingman begrudgingly followed her husband, Thomas, across the country in pursuit of his career at the expense of her own. Today, Callie is an empty nester with no job prospects, a declining mother, and a spouse who announces his intention to leave her—in Sacramento, the dullest city in America. His parting potshot: “It’s not me, it’s you.”
Taking to bed, Callie relies on delivery for food, her neighbor for booze, and her college best friend for commiseration. When an overdue annual exam leads to a health scare, Callie is forced to contend with her fractured and unfulfilled life by revisiting the vibrant, indomitable woman she used to be.
From her idyllic years at Princeton and an extraordinary first love to the pressures all women face to strive, serve, and be sexy as hell, once again she’s face-to-face with it all. Callie is running for her life, determined to forge a path ahead that is better than the one she’s leaving behind.

Kritikerstimmen
“Run for Your Life, Callie Kingman is a witty, heartwarming love story wrapped in the resilient spirit of starting over. Set against a vibrant backdrop of ’90s nostalgia, the story follows Callie Kingman, a freshly dumped protagonist navigating the mess and beauty of middle age. With sharp humor and tender insight, Alli Frank and Asha Youmans deftly explore the unexpected ways a woman’s life and identity evolve when children fledge the nest, her marriage falls apart, and she must re-create herself for the next act. I loved every page!”—Danielle Girard, USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of Pinky Swear
“Run for Your Life, Callie Kingman is a soul-affirming love song to Gen X women. I laughed and nodded my way through every page, relating to and rooting for Callie until the satisfying end, and wondering along the way: How did Frank and Youmans crawl into my brain? Run, don’t walk, to read this gem. It’s a winner!”—Samantha Greene Woodruff, bestselling author of The Lobotomist’s Wife and The Trade Off
