Manželka mi nevadí
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti. Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách, mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát: Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje, môžeme sami.
