Wife on the run / Fiona Higgins. - Crows Nest, N.S.W. : Allen & Unwin, 2014. - 422 pages ; 24 cm.

A mother's greatest fear...A wife's worst nightmare...What would you do? When two technology-related disasters hit within days of each other, Paula knows her comfortable suburban life has been irrevocably blown apart. One involves the public shaming of her teenage daughter, the other is a discovery about her husband that shocks her to her core. With her world unravelling around her, Paula does the only thing that makes any sense to her: she runs away from it all. She pulls her children out of school and takes off on a trip across Australia with her elderly father and his caravan. The only rule is No Technology - no phones, no Facebook, no Instagram, no tablets, games or computers. It's time to get back to basics and learn how to be a family again. It all sounds so simple - and for a while, it is. But along the way Paula will meet new, exciting complications, and realise that running away is only a temporary solution. The past has to be faced before the future can begin. A thrilling, tender and hugely entertaining story of loss, love and discovery from the bestselling author of The Mothers' Group.
