Three and a Half Wives — Judith Arnold

Talia and Gwen had both been married to Jeremy. They married him for the same reason: because he was electric and a force of nature. And they divorced him for the same reason: because he was a child. Heather is currently married to Jeremy, and she has yet to learn what the other two women discovered about him. Maybe she never will; after all, she's young, naïve, and wildly in love with him.Jeremy's three wives have a polite relationship with each other and nothing more. But when Jeremy turns up missing, and his last whereabouts are traced to his home on Martha's Vineyard — a home none of the women knew about — they reluctantly join forces in an effort to find out who he really is and what has happened to him. Their search leads them to Monica, a woman who has never been married to Jeremy, but who has a relationship with him unlike any of the others. Talia, Gwen, Heather, and Monica will uncover the mystery of Jeremy's disappearance. But what they discover from their time together will be much more revealing, much more profound, and much more inspiring than anything they ever gained from the man who unites them. And this will change each of them in dramatic ways.Filled with heart, humor, compassion, and revelation, Three and a Half Wives is a story of marriage (well, three of them), friendship, and, most of all, community. It is the kind of ultra-relatable, endlessly surprising tale that can only come from a master storyteller.
