A midlife coming of age story for any woman who has ever felt like she was playing a supporting role in her own life. 47-year-old Samantha has been a devoted mother and wife, until now. Her heart is as empty as her nest. After months of soul-searching, Samantha finally finds the courage to leave her seemingly perfect life behind.
But when she joins her husband, Michael, in Italy, Samantha discovers he’s not the man she thought he was. Over seven days, in one of the most romantic countries in the world, the couple comes face to face with the inevitable changes a relationship experiences. From their first kiss to what could be their last dance, Samantha and Michael leave nothing to chance to see if they can overcome the lies and secrets between them. To write a new chapter together.
As Samantha confronts the present turmoil in her marriage, and the past she thought she’d overcome she finds the strength she’d longed for. She realizes that endings are liberating, that life is unpredictable, that embracing the future, wherever it takes you is the only way forward. And that sensuality’s flames burn hotter as the years pass.

Mel Greenberg is the married mother of two sons in their early twenties. She worked as a copywriter and producer in radio and television before having children and making the decision to stay at home with them full-time. Once she became an empty nester, Mel struggled to find her voice and direction. Ultimately, it was her passion for writing and the discovery that she was not alone that led her to write Running With Our Eyes Closed. It is the first installment of a series exploring her characters' struggle to redefine the next years of their lives. In addition to writing the next book in the Empty Nested series, Mel is working on several projects, ghostwriting and producing. When she's not visiting her boys, and traveling the world, she enjoys life in the Southwest with her husband Dean, her beloved English Bulldog Stella, and German Shepherd Grazia.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.
