Leslie Morgan, bestselling author of Crazy Love and Mommy Wars, was a mom turning fifty, reeling from divorce and determined to reclaim her life. In a radical break with convention, she dedicates a year to searching for five new lovers, reclaiming the rapture absent in a life of minivans and mom jeans—and finding a profound new sense of self-worth.
When Leslie Morgan divorced after a twenty-year marriage plagued by suspicions of infidelity and lack of intimacy, both her self-esteem and romantic optimism were shattered. She was determined to avoid the cliché of a lonely, middle-aged divorcee lamenting her stretch marks and begging her kids to help craft an online dating profile. Instead, Leslie celebrates her independence by seeking out the erotic adventures and authentic connections long missing from her marriage with an audacious plan: devote a year to finding five lovers.
Confident, empowered, occasionally downright brazen, Leslie embarks on a journey of scintillating romantic entanglements with men she meets at yoga, in the airport, and who resurface from her past. Equally provocative are the discoveries she makes along the way about sex, aging, men, self-confidence, and herself.
Brimming with blush-worthy details that make this read a true-life Fifty Shades of Grey, The Naked Truth is simultaneously powerful and empowering, a wildly entertaining memoir about a typical suburban mom who embraces her independence and whose adventures prove that it’s never too late to revel in your sexuality and the joys of romantic connection.
