Pam Williams has been having her baklava and eating it too. She has Martin Campbell, an attentive, attractive man who loves her with intensity beyond anything she's ever imagined. She has Dave, a caring, softhearted husband who is willing to fly her away to paradise rather than risk losing her.
Pam has been fulfilled, delighted and brought to a level of sexual ecstasy beyond her wildest dreams. But – she has also been living a lie – covering her tracks and scheming to ensure her wildest fantasies continue to be a reality. As she navigates between the two men she loves, she must deal with a teenage son facing mental health challenges and a daughter whose own sexuality is burgeoning. Pam and Martin also encounter a young woman, Ruby, who will change both of their lives forever.
While The Fifty List was a romp through the carefree, uncomplicated days of Pam's 50th year, The Other Side of Fifty is a story of how one woman faces life's many realities – its intense joys, its undeniable sorrows and its hidden treasures.
