An Ordinary Woman by Donna Hill
From bestselling author, Donna Hill comes an evocative, unforgettable novel about love, friendship, marriage, adultery.
You'll find out soon enough. So I may as well say it now. I slept with my best friend's husband. There is no explanation. Not a real one, anyway, not one that people will accept, especially people who know me. . .But I want to tell my side. . .Just hear me out. . . Asha and Lisa have been best friends since grade school and they have always shared everything. A beautiful and accomplished photographer, Asha never seems to lack excitement or a man to share it with. Yet, for a woman who appears to have it all there is always that something she needs to make her feel whole. . .worthy. Lisa, the good girl, has always dreamed of the perfect marriage to the perfect husband. Now she has both with Ross Davis and she has their future planned to the last, perfect detail. Ross didn't want to believe that he and Lisa had married too soon. He didn't want to believe that each day the man he thought himself to be was being stripped away by the woman he loved--leaving him feeling like a kept man instead of the man of the house. And then--betrayal. No one knows how it happened, how they could have done this to each other. But now, they each want to tell their side of the story. As Asha, Lisa and Ross travel down the road to discovery, you will root for them, hurt for them, hate them and love them. But you will never forget them. An Ordinary Woman is about the betrayal of the most sacred of trusts. It is about the that one moment when a single choice will change lives forever. It is a cautionary tale that dares to look deep inside the hearts and minds of the characters involved. Most importantly, An Ordinary Woman attempts to answer the question: How?
Raised in a rural southwestern Ontario tobacco town where local watering holes went by the names of Big Creek and Quance's Dam, Donna took up sailing with her husband Mike in the 1970's on Lake Simcoe, located an hour north of Toronto. Never having sailed before, Mike and Donna purchased an 18 foot Nova Scotia built day sailor which they used to discover the basics of sailing. Their interest in the sport, lead them to exploring the Great Lakes, Georgian Bay, the North Channel, Vancouver's Gulf Islands and Newfoundland's North Atlantic Ocean. Weekends and holidays were often an adventure for the family of four while visiting forts located around Lake Ontario and roasting marshmallows on White Cloud Island in Georgian Bay. They continued to purchase larger boats to make longer journeys and in 2004, they set off from England in an Oyster 56 with no real plans other than to explore the Mediterranean Sea. But discovering travelling by sea was to their liking, they adopted a lifestyle of water gypsies and eventually visited the five continents of the world. Now having completed seven ocean passages and 50,000 nm, Donna shares the couple's experiences while circumnavigating the world. Donna is the author of articles for both magazines and newspapers. She is one of thirty-seven female members of the Cruising Club of America and is the recipient of the John Parkinson Memorial Trophy awarded for Transoceanic Passage. Yes, The World Is Round, Part I: England to Fiji; Part II: Fiji to the Caribbean, are her first books.
