\nBook Description:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

At thirty-six, Susan Sinclair has it all. She’s just been promoted to Senior Vice President of Mobile Banking at her firm, a prestigious position bringing fresh creative challenges and a hefty salary increase. Like the shiny new BMW in the driveway of the Silicon Valley home she shares with her husband, Matt, and their two beautiful boys, Susan exudes confidence and style.<\/p>\n

Yet despite her success in juggling the roles of wife, mother, and businesswoman, Susan struggles with a secret dissatisfaction. Matt’s work in cutting-edge computer research pays less than her job, and with each advance in her career, he has grown more distant. But Matt refuses to admit there is a problem, and Susan forces herself to play along, determined to give her boys the close-knit family life she never had.<\/p>\n

Then she meets her new boss, Reese Kirkpatrick. Working and traveling together, she and Reese become a crackerjack team, but little by little, pleasure mixes with business. For the first time in a long time\u2014maybe ever\u2014Susan feels seen and appreciated for who she is. Certain she would never allow their friendship to cross the line, Susan lets herself stray dangerously close to the edge.<\/p>\n

A moment of weakness changes everything. Now, unable to stomach the fa\u00e7ade her marriage has become yet unwilling to decimate her family by moving forward with Reese, Susan faces a choice that could cost her everything\u2014including her children . . . but possibly bring her more than she can dream.
\nPraise for Degrees of Love:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

“Slabach crafts a relatable, heartbreakingly real story that will no doubt resonate with those at a similar station in life: women who love their families yet yearn for just a little more\u2014to feel wanted rather than needed, to feel passion rather than complacency. In engaging prose and through skillful storytelling, Slabach captivates with an all-too-familiar story that raises questions with no easy answers.”<\/p>\n

– Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)<\/p>\n

“This does not read like a debut author\u2019s book. Slabach shows herself to be adept at portraying the complex emotions of the human condition. Her characters live and breathe on the page in a way that every author strives for, but few actually manage. Susan\u2019s struggles ring true, and the way she handles everything makes her a very likable and relatable character.”<\/p>\n

– Sarah Perry, San Francisco Book Review, 5 Stars<\/p>\n

“Profound, heart wrenching and very emotional, it is hard to believe that Degrees of Love is a debut novel by Lisa Slabach. This is one of the best novels I have read this year.”<\/p>\n
