Molly Rodden Winter

Her New York Times bestselling memoir that everyone is talking about.

“This book about open marriage will set your group chats on fire.” - The Washington Post

Molly Roden Winter was a mother to young children and her husband, Stuart, who often worked late hours. One night, after missing the kids' bedtime—again—she stormed out of the house in a huff to clear her head. At a bar, she met Matt, a flirtatious young man. When Molly told her husband that Matt had asked her out, she was surprised by Stuart's encouragement. Thus began Molly's unlikely open marriage, and with it, a life-changing journey of self-discovery. Molly signed up for dating sites, had flings, and had sex in hotels and public places all over New York City. For Molly, why she wanted what she wanted was a mystery. In therapy sessions, fueled by the discovery that her parents had also been openly married, she wrestled with her past and what it means to be a mother and a whole person. Molly and Stuart, who had also begun seeing other people, established ground rules: Don't date an ex. Don't date anyone in the neighborhood. Don't go to anyone's house. Most importantly, don't fall in love. In the years that follow, they break most of their rules, even the most important ones. They struggle with jealousy, insecurity, and doubt, all the while wondering: Can they love others and hold on to their love for each other? Can they achieve the impossible?

"More" is a debut musical offering exciting joy and poignant reflections on motherhood, daughterhood, marriage, and self-realization. With warmth, humor, and elegant style, Molly Roden Winter delivers an unforgettable journey of a woman striving to fulfill her fullest potential.
