The sunshine when she's gone : a novel / Thea Goodman. by Goodman, Thea. Henry Holt and Co., c2013. Call #: FICTION GOO Subjects Parenting -- Psychological aspects -- Fiction.   Marriage -- Psychological aspects -- Fiction.   Parent and infant -- Fiction.   Sleep deprivation -- Fiction.   Americans -- Caribbean Area -- Fiction.   Manhattan (New York, N.Y.) -- Fiction.   Caribbean Area -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780805096620 0805096620 Edition:  1st ed. Description:  228 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  One frigid, January morning in Manhattan, a new father, racked by sleep deprivation, decides to let his wife sleep in - then spontaneously flees lower Manhattan with the baby for a weekend in the Caribbean. It wasn't a kidnapping, he wasn't leaving his wife; he just wanted to spend a little time with the baby and give his wife a break. When the wife awakes, truly rested for the first time in nearly a year, she feels great - and embarks on a city adventure as misguided in its own way as her husband's impulsive escape. Told from the couple's alternating points of view, the story unfolds across one life-changing long weekend. The wife tries to recapture who she was before the baby. The husband struggles to care for his daughter - far from the special homemade formula and high-end diapers she requires. Parenting had seemed like such a doable idea - until they tried to do it. Lucky, highly educated Americans, this couple barely survives making the first real sacrifice of their lives. But survive it they do, in a hilarious, touching, tour de force debut about passion, ambivalence, and love. Genre:  Psychological fiction.
