Speaking of Alice

**WARNING GRAPHIC MATURE SUBJECT MATTER**

What if the life you built was never really yours?

Alice Harper did everything right. She married young, raised four children, and kept the rhythm of family life spinning like clockwork. But now, with an empty house and a husband who barely sees her, the silence is louder than ever-and so is the ache for something more.

A weekly book club of bold, bruised, brilliant women become her unexpected lifeline. Through their stories of heartbreak, healing, and desire, Alice begins to feel the stirrings of a voice she silenced long ago. And then she meets Bruce-a magnetic couples coach with a sculptor's hands and eyes that see far too much. He listens. He notices. He awakens something Alice thought was gone forever.

But Alice isn't ready to burn down her life for a spark of passion. Torn between loyalty and longing, duty and self-discovery, she must navigate the tightrope between who she's been... and who she might become.

Set against the backdrop of wine-soaked laughter, raw confessions, and late-night desires, Speaking of Alice is a provocative, soul-stirring story about womanhood, reinvention, and the audacity to want more-from life, from love, and from ourselves.

For every woman who's ever asked, "Is this all there is?"-this story is your answer.
