The Overdue Life of Amy Byler

Overworked and underappreciated single mom Amy Byler desperately needs a break. When her husband, who abandoned her three years prior, returns and offers to take care of their kids for the summer, Amy seizes the opportunity. She escapes her life in rural Pennsylvania for New York City, where she experiences a "momspringa"—a liberating summer where she takes care of herself for once. However, a crisis forces Amy to confront her two worlds, making her choose between the life she left behind and the new, independent woman she has become. The book explores themes of self-care and the struggles of modern motherhood.
