Product Description
Never Ask Permission traces the experiences of Sidney Mathews, a woman coming of age in the 1950s. She begins to question the direction of her life and marriage when her husband turns out to be someone other than the caring partner she thought she had married.

This powerful novel illustrates Sidney’s emotional development as she navigates the shifting roles of women during the last half of the twentieth century. The story of her growth from a naïve young bride to a confident professional woman is a tale with historical resonance as well as human interest. Never Ask Permission is a story about loving, loneliness and healing, and the price we pay for all three.
