The book will be a direct, informative, and highly entertaining read about the hidden perils of romantic relationships with powerful partners. Packed with shocking stories about the author’s marital misadventures, it will dispel many of the myths about what it’s like to be in a relationship with a famous and wealthy person–and how every woman can learn from the author’s mistakes and discoveries. Wilder will give pointed, easy-to-follow advice on how those who enter into relationships can enjoy a more balanced, stable, and successful life together.
