She doesn't believe in looking back and has the drive, ambition, and financial means to create the exact life she wants to live--regardless of what her kids and her husband, Andrew, want or need. Michelle lives in stark contrast to Keely's life. She believes she was doomed from the start with a heartbreaking, poverty-stricken childhood. A string of bad choices in adulthood only intensifies her lack of faith in herself. With her daughter safely away at college, she is left alone with her abusive husband, Ray. As the days drag on, she struggles to find a reason to continue. Until she meets Andrew. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two women's worlds eventually collide, courtesy of their daughters, and both are forced to contemplate a time-worn question: is the comfort of a familiar self-constructed prison safer than the risk of trying to live a life of true freedom and potentially failing?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cake asks how much the world has really changed for women--and for which women--by evaluating the progress of modern feminism. This novel examines privilege, the haves and have-nots, the ideals we choose to embrace, and the facts we forcefully decide to not see. This story entices the reader to contemplate whether our material and emotional conditions arise from childhood environments, personal choice, systemic inequality, or a combination of them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicole Brooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1775155439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781775155430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mrs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Nicole Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486027133183,"sku":"9781775155430","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e04aefa7-f586-40a0-af4a-8005bae87285.jpg?v=1778053183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cake-nicole-brooks-9781775155430","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
