This One Is Mine: A Novel

This One is Mine is a compassionate and wickedly funny satire about our need for more - and the often disastrous choices we make in the name of happiness.

The story follows Violet Parry, living the quintessential life of luxury in the Hollywood Hills with her rock-and-roll manager husband David and their darling toddler Dot.

However, despite having the perfect life, Violet is deeply unhappy as David expects the world of Violet but gives little of himself in return.

When she meets Teddy, a roguish small-time bass player, Violet comes alive and soon risks everything for the chance to find herself again.

The story also features David's hilariously high-strung sister Sally on the prowl for a successful husband, and Jeremy, the ESPN sportscaster savant who falls into her trap.

Will Violet and Sally discover that David and Jeremy have a few surprises of their own? This One is Mine is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that will leave you laughing and reflecting on your own choices in the name of happiness.
