SUMMARY: Kate is invited on a daytime talk show under the 
pretense that she will be discussing her friendship with her best
friend Debbie.  During the course of the show Debbie admits to 
having an affair with Harry, Kate's husband.  Harry confirms 
Debbie's boast and suggests that Debbie move in with them.  Kate 
doesn't take to Harry's idea, but does accept an invitation from 
the owner of a strip club, who also appeared on the show.

COMMENTARY: I have a feeling that this story may appeal to women 
more than it does to men.  There isn't any sex in it.  It is a 
nice story, but I wasn't drawn in by Kate's dilemma.  I was not 
able to feel Kate's pain, and thus it was hard for me to 
appreciate her triumph (of sorts) at the end of the story.

On the whole I would say that Kate's character seemed a bit too 
restrained.  I am not suggesting that she should have been 
telling the world how she feels.  I am suggesting that the author
should have given more details that would show, rather than tell 
the reader, what Kate was experiencing.
