  • "Jeanie tiene sesenta años, una casa bonita, su propio negocio, una hija casada y una encantadora nieta de dos años. Aunque en apariencia lleva una vida cómoda y tranquila, la verdad es que su matrimonio con George es aburrido y totalmente predecible. Hasta que un día conoce a Ray. Cada jueves, cuando acompaña a su nieta al parque, se encuentra con este atractivo abuelo que juega con su nieto. Empiezan hablando de los niños y acaban explicándose la vida. Las conversaciones de los jueves en el parque son cada vez más importantes para ambos y, poco a poco, Ray y Jeanie se dan cuenta de que se han enamorado. Pero ¿tiene derecho a abandonar lo que ha sido su vida durante treinta años y a destrozar a su marido? ¿Sería una locura a su edad arriesgarlo todo para perseguir un nuevo amor?"

  • "Jeanie is on the brink of turning sixty. When her husband George retreats from his conjugal duties, she is deeply hurt and very confused: Has she done something wrong? Is he in love with someone else? Her pained bewilderment turns to anger as he remains unable, or unwilling, to provide answers. The bright spot of Jeanie's week is Thursday, the day she takes her granddaughter to the park. There, one day, she meets Ray--age-appropriate, kind-hearted, easygoing, and sexy, everything that George is not. As her relationship with Ray begins to blossom and she begins to think that her life might hold in store a bold second act, she begins to wonder if she has the courage to take a step off the precipice of routine and duty and into the swirling winds of romance."

When this happens to Jeanie, she's furious and determined to confront George, her husband of thirty years. Is he in love with someone else? What did she do wrong? He won't tell her."@en
  • ""Jeanie has been a loving wife to George for over thirty years, a devoted mother to their daughter and, recently, an adoring grandmother - all this despite the fact that several years ago, George withdrew from their marital bed with no reason given. At first Jeanie was determined to confront him, but days rolled into weeks, then years, and still she has no idea why it happened. Did she do something wrong? Is he in love with someone else? George won't talk about it. Every Thursday, Jeanie takes her granddaughter to the park, and there she meets Ray, who performs the same weekly duty for his grandson. Ray seems to be everything George isn't - a listener, easy to talk to, open-minded - and sexy. Suddenly Jeanie feels attractive again and, against her will, finds herself falling in love with him. She knows all too well that her new passion threatens everything she holds dear. She must make a choice."--Publisher description."@en

Ray is kind, easy to talk to, and gorgeous - everything George isn't. She starts to live for Thursdays. But does she have the courage, in the teeth of opposition from all sides, to turn her life upside down for another shot at love?"

The bright spot of Jeanie's week is Thursday, the day she takes her granddaughter to the park. There, one day, she meets Ray ' age-appropriate, kind-hearted, easygoing, and downright sexy. In short, he is everything that George is not.
