A heart-wrenching story of love and infidelity seen through the eyes of a woman blinded by love.

Rita, the main character in A Scarcity of Virgins, resembles a modern day Emma from Flaubert's Madame Bovary or Nora from Ibsen's A Doll's House. It is a novel that will appeal to readers of Karma Brown's, Recipe for a Perfect Wife, Joyce Maynard's, Count the Ways, and Miranda Cowely Heller's, The Paper Palace.

It is 1986 and Rita McEachern's routine life is about to change--drastically. Eighteen years of being a stay-at-home wife and mother have turned her into a borderline agoraphobic, afraid to venture more than a few blocks from her home. If she is stuck in an emotionally abusive and loveless marriage, she is not aware of it, devoting all her attention to domesticity and her four children.

An unexpected confrontation with Valentin, a ruggedly handsome Spanish immigrant from Barcelona, shakes up her life both physically and emotionally. Although twelve years younger than Rita, he is intrigued by her innocence and naivete. Unable to resist his enthusiastic overtures, Rita falls passionately in love with him, sending her on a spiraling road to destruction, forcing her to make some hard decisions in order to save herself and her children.

A Scarcity of Virgins is a period romantic drama which explores the full emotional palette of a woman caught between worlds. It explores the complexity of the mind of a woman caught in obsession and delusion, until events force her to reckon with her dependence on the men in her life.
