Twenty-five years married, four kids raised, and one very naughty item left behind in Room 214.
Alyssa Dartman has spent twenty-five years being a wife, a mother of four, and the front-desk backbone of the Catchucumun Inn. She can fold a fitted sheet with military precision and defuse a guest meltdown in under a minute. What she cannot do is identify the item left behind in Room 214.
That one mysterious lost-and-found discovery is enough to crack something open in her. Her youngest is headed to Greece and then college, and for the first time in decades, the house is about to go quiet. Alyssa finds herself asking a question she hasn't had room for in twenty-five years: who is she when she's not needed every second of the day?
Her husband John has spent that same amount of time on job sites and at the dinner table, loving his wife in every steady, ordinary way he knows how. When Alyssa admits she wants to try something new, he's terrified, curious, and completely in.
What starts as one nervous late-night confession turns into an all-out empty-nest experiment. Along the way, Alyssa has to figure out who she is outside of "Mom," and John just has to keep up.
Funny, unapologetically explicit, and surprisingly tender, The Empty Nest Experiment is for every couple who raised the family first and is finally ready to rediscover each other.
Intended for mature audiences (18+). Contains explicit content.
