I didn't get the same opinion about this book as some of the other views expressed here, I liked the book. I think she was just trying to express how she was feeling about her life and marriage after so many years of tending to their needs before hers. What woman, despite her financial status, doesn't have the same feelings about losing themselves in order to be a "good" mother and wife? Sure her financial status made it easier to leave, but she still had the same fears as any other woman has about supporting herself financially for possibly the first time in her life. We all have times we feel sorry for ourselves and I think she did something positive about it, by making the decision to leave for a year and rediscover herself-- her strengths and weaknesses. We all have different lessons to learn, while her story may not seem like much of a challenge to some, to her she grew from it and learned some valuable lessons about life and was able to share some of that wisdom with us.
