Em's Awful Good Fortune is a deeply personal, marriage coming-apart-at-the-seams look at the struggle between a woman's desire for partnership and her need for identity. Fueled by twin demons, love and rage, Em stomps her way around the world coming to terms with the fantasy of having it all: husband, kids, and a career. Em is not just married; it's more like being handcuffed to her husband's international career. Her life reads like a fantasy, bouncing between Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Seoul. But, the good fortune is all her husband's: Em is just the tagalong wife. Maxfield's compelling, non-linear story explores the expatriate lifestyle through the lens of a crumbling marriage, while at the same time tracing the lasting impact of sexual assault and PTSD. Em's journey exposes the dark corners of this seemingly privileged world: loneliness, depression, infidelity, and loss of career. An empowering, uncomfortably funny narrative about compromise that every woman should read. As Em begins to value her needs, before those of her husband's career, she stops letting herself be, dragged along for the ride, and ultimately, emerges triumphant.
