With her five-year-old son, she lights out for an Upper West Side apartment and the new life she hopes to find with Conrad Schwartzberg--the charismatic radical lawyer who has recently become her lover. Having escaped from a desert, she lands in a swamp. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile Conrad radiates positive energy, he is unable to tell Molly--or anyone who loves him--the truth. No longer the wronged wife, Molly now finds herself the Other Woman. She is sharing Conrad with Roberta, another refugee from marriage--with Conrad's movements between the two of them disguised by his suspiciously frequent out-of-town engagements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRoberta either knows nothing or prefers to look the other way, but Molly's maddening capacity for double vision takes over her mind. What saves her from herself is her well-developed sense of irony, which never fails her--or the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480481251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.60d","brand":"Joyce Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40039972110517,"sku":"9781480481251","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ecf44e9b-3ab1-4e18-bd97-383dfafa03ed.jpg?v=1621340098","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/bad-connections-9781480481251","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
