Playing the Cards Cecilia Pyke

Janey has been married to Craig Appleton for four years. She spends a lot of time reflecting on how boring her life has become, as she tends to their two-year old son, Ben. Feeling her husband takes her for granted, to the point of being neglectful, both in and out of bed, she wonders if he's having an affair.

When the truth is finally revealed she's shocked! And this story tells of how she deals with its discovery and the outcome. As her grandmother told her, life deals us certain cards and its down to us how we play the hand we're dealt.

Note: This novel is based on the culture and terminology used in the early 2000s. Some readers may be shocked at how deeply people felt, possibly due to the ignorance and fear of anybody whose sexual orientation differed from that which was considered the norm. We now live in a world where acceptance and understanding makes it a happier place.
