A Changing Marriage ~ Author Event with Susan Kietzman at the downtown Fairfield University Bookstore

On Thursday, March 20, 2014 author and former Fairfielder Susan Kietzman will discuss her latest novel A Changing Marriage, at the downtown Fairfield University Bookstore, 1499 Post Road, Fairfield, CT (203) 255-7756 beginning at 7:00pm on the 2nd floor. In this poignant and insightful new novel, the acclaimed author of The Good Life delves beneath the shimmering surface of one couple's evolving marriage.

A Changing Marriage begins when Karen Spears and Bob Parsons meet in college and embark upon the kind of enviable, picture-perfect relationship featured in romantic movies. Bob is ambitious and adoring; Karen is bright and beautiful. And nothing seems more natural to them than getting married right after Karen's graduation. Newly wed life meets all of Karen's expectations. Bob's career is soaring and Karen has a fulfilling job of her own--one that's put on hold when she becomes pregnant. But their caring partnership begins to slip away as Bob's single-minded pursuit of the next promotion blinds him to how overwhelmed Karen feels as a stay-at-home mother. When resentment and disenchantment build on both sides, Karen finds herself at a crossroads.

Profoundly honest and revealing A Changing Marriage (Kensington Publishing Corp. February 2014) is a vivid portrait of relationships at their most intricate--and most familiar.
