Sourcebooks is proud to present My Favorite Midlife Crisis (Yet) by Toby Devens (ISBN: 1-4022-0747-6; Fiction; September 2006; $14.00 U.S./$18.00 CAN; paperback).

Gwyneth Berke is a successful 52-year-old gynecological surgeon. With her sons away at art and medical school she seems to have it all: a lucrative surgical practice, a soul-satisfying inner-city clinic on the side and a solid marriage. When her husband of 26 years, Stan, has a $1.8 million midlife crisis in the form of a new beach house, she supports him, only to find him in the arms of Brad (the house's interior decorator) on the day of their housewarming party.

Gwyn finds herself alone, caring for her father-whose mind has been ravaged by Alzheimer's disease-and fighting for control in her practice as junior partners jockey for power. She and her best friends Fleur and Kat, who have also recently found themselves single, cling together as they saunter into their menopausal stage of life with renewed vigor and self-assurance. How they find the new loves of their lives will leave you chuckling through your tears.

This is a devastatingly funny, poignant, all-too-true novel of the ultimate midlife crisis of three best friends, Gwyneth, Fleur and Kat, who are jaunty, juicy and determined to make life right for themselves as they enter their menopausal years.
