Book excerpt: Lawrence has a problem… He hasn’t told his wife that they’ve gone broke. He hasn’t told her that they can’t afford the kitchen renovation that they’re halfway through, and he hasn’t told her that he’s not making any money at work. He’s afraid to tell her… though he knows he has to, because she’s spending money like they’re rich—even suddenly deciding to go on a weeklong vacation to Mexico with her girlfriends. The tradesmen want paid… and after finding a classified website where people can trade services, Lawrence begins to wonder if he can pay for that renovation with his body—before his wife is home from Mexico.
