Wrong Side of Forty

Before Marina Trahan caught her husband in bed with another woman, she would have described her life as average, maybe even boring. But with a wayward husband, a high-maintenance daughter, a lackluster career, and a crazy mother all weighing her down, Marina is ready to wave the white flag of surrender. Then Alexios shows up out of nowhere and insists she is descended from a goddess-- and is the only person who can save the world from certain destruction. She has roughly a week to do it. Her search for a magical item of power reveals far more about herself than she ever knew ... but is it enough to save the world? -- adapted from back cover
