Silver Gifts, Golden Dreams

the long version

Erica Hunter had big plans. Now that the children had flown the nest, she and Brad would build their dream house. Erica would launch her interior design career. And, after twenty-five years of marriage, she and Brad would finally have their privacy. What could go wrong? Plenty. Brad wanted a condo, not a house. He wanted to support her, not let her work. And, he let his mother move in with them. So much for their privacy. Worst of all, Brad seemed attracted to the shapely phys-ed instructor down the block. Erica's golden dreams lay in tatters. She loved Brad. But would their silver anniversary be their last?
