It's 2015 and Ashley Madison, the secret online dating site for married and committed couples (whose motto is: ?Life is short. Have an affair.?), has been hacked. Thirty-two million cheaters worldwide have been exposed . . . including Sophie Bloom's beloved husband, Gabe. Betrayed, she immediately leaves for Paris to meet her daughter, who is studying abroad and desperately needs her mother in the wake of her own breakup. Through helping her daughter heal, Sophie begins to see the light at the end of her own dark tunnel. She ends up staying in the artist community of Saint-Paul-de-Vence and reconnecting with her former life as a talented artist, all but leaving her suburban life. For the first time in a long time, Sophie is succumbing to her own desires rather than to those of her husband and child, allowing herself to rediscover her passion for food, art, travel, and sex.
