Straight and Narrow

by Sigrid Macdonald

Overview

Tara Richards is approaching forty. The thought fills her with dread. She is unhappy with her job as a rehabilitation nurse and disenchanted with her marriage, but lacks the courage to make a major life change. When her best friend Lisa disappears, Tara's life is thrown into turmoil. Has Lisa jeopardized her sobriety by going on a drinking binge or has she been harmed by her partner who has a history of battering? Lisa is her rock, her confidant, and her reality check. Tara can't live without her. She joins a massive search to look for her friend in conjunction with the police, her colorful women's collective, and a twenty-four-year-old man whom she finds particularly captivating.
Straight and Narrow explores diverse themes such as female friendships, addiction, midlife crisis and unrequited love. With pathos and humor, the story delves into the inner world of a quirky and likable Canadian woman whose life is about to be irrevocably changed by her best friend's disappearance.
