JANUARY, 2019 SEIZING HOPE By: Seelie Kay The Plot: Former Northwestern Law School classmates Dina Willoughby, Miranda Mena, Leah Fraser, and Melody Harris are living the dream. … Until Dina’s husband kicks her out two weeks before her prenuptial agree- ment kicks in, Miranda’s husband is ar- rested for securities fraud and flees the country with all of their money, Leah dis- covers that her royal husband misrepre- sented his feelings for her in order to get his hands on her money, and newly-pregnant Melody finally admits her artist husband is a sadistic, manipulative, jerk. Facing the loss of their husbands and stripped of any finan- cial support, the four women band together to fight back. Drawing on their unique legal skills and with the help of a few friends … these four women not only take what’s theirs, they build the path to a new future—one filled with hope. An Excerpt Dina blinked, then she became outraged. Did George Dono- van Willoughby the Third, the most boring man on the planet, just dump her? “Wait a minute. You want a divorce? From me?” She glared at George. “Surely you jest, darling.” George gazed at her, his smile condescending. “As I said, dar- ling, I am finding life with you rather boring…So, I think a quick and dirty divorce is for the best, don’t you? After all, we are adults and quite capable of civility. Perhaps Mexico on the ’morrow?” Dina stood, picked up her glass and dumped the well-aged bourbon onto George’s head. “This isn’t over until I say it’s over, dear George. Your timing sucks. In two more weeks, my prop- erty settlement increases by millions. I can’t believe you want to pull the plug and deprive me of the monies I am due. Being mar- ried to you was hard work, and I earned every penny of that set- tlement.” Reviews Welcome.
