When author and award-winning journalist Stephanie Wood meets Joe, she feels the dating stars have finally aligned in her forties, and she embarks on an exhilarating romance with him. They talk about the future. She falls in love. But there are frequent cancellations, no-shows, and confusing excuses.  

Tapping into her gut instincts and her investigative journalism skills, Stephanie learns that the man she thought she knew is, in fact, a master of manipulation and deception.  

This is a story of love based on duplicity, false hope and lies, and the resilience of a woman who has witnessed, first hand, the dark side of dating. It is also an important and honest account of how it feels to be an ‘I’ in a world of ‘we’ and ‘us’. 

So, what happens when you fall in love with a narcissistic liar? 

We find out in FORTY
