UNBRIDLED: A TALE OF A DIVORCE RANCH by Marilu Norden is a fascinating novel that tackles the little problem of divorce with a big heart and great aplomb. Back in the 1950s, divorce didn't just carry a stigma, it was a painful option which was really difficult to get. But a quickie divorce could be had in Reno, Nevada, if someone could live there long enough to establish residency. That's the backdrop of Norden's intriguing, multiple award-winning debut novel. Norden chronicles the life of Lara, whose marriage breaks up shortly after she has her second child. Heartbroken, Lara retreats to the Desert Lake Ranch to establish the residency she needs to obtain the quickie divorce upon which her husband insists. Her stay is only for six weeks, but who could imagine that not only would she find romance with a foreman, but she might just find a brave new life for herself and her kids? Dazzlingly written and told with warmth and feeling, UNBRIDLED: A TALE OF A DIVORCE RANCH is about the triumph of love, even after what seems insurmountable loss.
