Her problems are compounded when her &quot;daddy's little girl&quot; daughter sides with her father. <br /><br />Beth, formerly Lizzie, takes a good, hard and long look at herself and realizes how she allowed herself to live in the background and backseat. It's time she brought herself to the front. Her former swim trophies once made her feel like a winner - now she intends to be a winner in life. <br /><br />With the support and encouragement of a new cast of friends (Lisa, Sister M&amp;M, Hilly, Tommy &amp; more), Beth builds a successful business, feels the reward of &quot;giving back&quot; and discovers new love. When soon-to-be ex-husband Frank comes back, she has the self-confidence needed to show him the door. <br /><br />The story is empowering, you'll cheer for Beth at every step. The cast of characters is intriguing and memorable. The author's talent is remarkable. <br /><br />I highly recommend this book for everyone <br /><br />~Chelle Cordero, author [...] </td></tr></tbody></table>
