  <description><![CDATA[Meet The Young Wives --<p><em>Angela, Michelle, and Jada, thirty-something women who appear to have lives as delicious as dessert...</em></p><p>A typical New Yorker, half-Jewish, half-Italian, <em>Angela</em> is a lawyer married to Reid, a handsome old-money WASP. <em>Michelle</em> adores her childhood sweetheart husband, Frank, and the dreamhouse he's provided for her and their two beautiful children. <em>Jada</em> is an African-American working mom trying to maintain a happy home despite her husband Clinton's failing business.<p>But then, like a bad soufflé, the lives of Angela, Michelle, and Jada collapse as they each discover the truth about their dirty, rotten mates. Uniting for solace and support, they draw on one another's friendship to heal their wounds. Bowed but not beaten, though, this smart, audacious trio will concoct a brilliant recipe to take back what's theirs and serve justice on their duplicitous men -- and transform them from victims to victors!</p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<p>Unflinchingly honest and powerfully insightful, Olivia Goldsmith captures the true essence of today's woman as few writers can. And she's funny while doing it. &quot;Olivia Goldsmith's forte has always been the writing of revenge novels with great, good humor,&quot; <em>Washington Post Book World</em> wrote, praising her talents, and <em>Newsweek</em> proclaimed she is &quot;like Jane Austen dealing blackjack... you keep licking your fingers and reaching for the next page as if it was another potato chip.&quot; Now the acclaimed author of the phenomenal <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The First Wives Club</em> returns with her most powerful and moving novel yet, the contemporary story of three young women's initial illusions, desperate reality, and clever responses to their dirty rotten husbands.<p>Meet the Young Wives: Angela, Michelle, and Jada, thirty-something women who appear to have lives as delicious as dessert. A typical New Yorker, half-Jewish, half-Italina, Angela is a lawyer married to Reid, a handsome old-money WASP. Michelle, a traditionalist at heart, adors her childhood sweetheart husband, Frank, and the dream house he's provided for her and their two beautiful children. Married to Clinton, Jada is a suburban African American wife working hard to maintain a happy home despite her husband's failing business. She's determined to give her family the privileges she never had.<p>But then, like a bad souffle, the lives of Angela, Michelle, and Jada separately collapse as they each discover lies embedded in their marriages. Betrayed, their love and trust crushed, their families virtually destroyed, they unite for solace and support. While their nefarious husbands have won the first battle, the war has only just began. Sharing their misery and their dreams, they draw on one another's friendship and strength to heal their wounds--and reconstruct their lives. Bowed but not beaten, this smart, audacious trio concocts a brilliant recipe to take back what's theirs and render justice on their duplicitous men--and transform them from victims to victors...<p>The perfect anti-Valentine's Day story, <em>Young Wives</em> is an addictively funny novel with an edge. Nobody understands &quot;female problems&quot; as well as Olivia Goldsmith, and here she is at her smart and satisfying best.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Unflinchingly honest and powerfully insightful, Olivia Goldsmith captures the true essence of today's woman as few writers can. And she's funny while doing it. &quot;Olivia Goldsmith's forte has always been the writing of revenge novels with great, good humor,&quot; <em>Washington Post Book World</em> wrote, praising her talents, and <em>Newsweek</em> proclaimed she is &quot;like Jane Austen dealing blackjack... you keep licking your fingers and reaching for the next page as if it was another potato chip.&quot; Now the acclaimed author of the phenomenal <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The First Wives Club</em> returns with her most powerful and moving novel yet, the contemporary story of three young women's initial illusions, desperate reality, and clever responses to their dirty rotten husbands.<p>Meet the Young Wives: Angela, Michelle, and Jada, thirty-something women who appear to have lives as delicious as dessert. A typical New Yorker, half-Jewish, half-Italina, Angela is a lawyer married to Reid, a handsome old-money WASP. Michelle, a traditionalist at heart, adors her childhood sweetheart husband, Frank, and the dream house he's provided for her and their two beautiful children. Married to Clinton, Jada is a suburban African American wife working hard to maintain a happy home despite her husband's failing business. She's determined to give her family the privileges she never had.<p>But then, like a bad souffle, the lives of Angela, Michelle, and Jada separately collapse as they each discover lies embedded in their marriages. Betrayed, their love and trust crushed, their families virtually destroyed, they unite for solace and support. While their nefarious husbands have won the first battle, the war has only just began. Sharing their misery and their dreams, they draw on one another's friendship and strength to heal their wounds--and reconstruct their lives. Bowed but not beaten, this smart, audacious trio concocts a brilliant recipe to take back what's theirs and render justice on their duplicitous men--and transform them from victims to victors...<p>The perfect anti-Valentine's Day story, <em>Young Wives</em> is an addictively funny novel with an edge. Nobody understands &quot;female problems&quot; as well as Olivia Goldsmith, and here she is at her smart and satisfying best.</p></p></p></p>]]>
