Never Been More Free Jill Stacey

Trying to make sense of their lives in pursuit of freedom, Gordon and his family, and Juliet, his new love, share the intimate details of their secret past. Taboos and silence propel them to turn their troubles into triumphs. Gordon falls in love with Juliet Sanders, Hollywood's princess, as he gets his post-divorce life going, while his ex-wife, alcoholic Beth, struggles with sobriety and her crazy parents, whose own secrets share the burden of blame and shame. Never Been More Free explores serious subjects of family dynamics, gender inequality, sexual abuse, alcoholism, compulsive gambling, and failed marriage. Fluidly, eloquently, and with humor; this love story and drama, filled with sensuality, sexuality, and seduction, tackles the age-old desire of what it means to be free. The underlying messages are meant to be thought provoking and maybe act as a change agent in these times where anti-Semitism, gender inequality, and sexual abuse dominate the news. The overarching theme is the desire for Freedom. What it means to each of them, how they pursue it, if they succeed in their quest, and how it is manifested.
