They've got a two hundred year-old house, an autistic son obsessed with the Titanic, and 17 chickens, at last count. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It's the kind of paradise where stay-at-home moms team up to cook the school's \"hot lunch,\" dads grill grass-fed burgers, and, as Lucy observes, \"chopping kale has become a certain kind of American housewife's version of chopping wood.\" When friends at a wine-soaked dinner party reveal they've made their marriage open, sensible Lucy balks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e There's a part of her, though-the part that worries she's become too comfortable being invisible -- that's intrigued.
