When she summons the courage to leave her husband behind, her life turns into an emotional roller coaster. She is soon dating a cast of characters in New York until an impulsive trip to Ireland thrusts her into the orb of a magnetic man named Kieran. But just when she believes herself to be on the brink of what she'd always wanted, a series of setbacks throw her into a volatile spiral downwards. Her independence becomes a frightening prison. As she struggles to find her way back to the world she once knew, she must confront the reality of the past to find her way to the possibilities of her future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNarrated with a uniquely provocative voice, \u003ci\u003eReckless Years\u003c\/i\u003e is a raw, propulsive debut: unfailingly profound and impossible to put down.
