After fifteen years of marriage, Cheryl Caldwell learned one durable lesson from her corporate attorney husband: everything counts as evidence.

When Cheryl discovers her husband Lando’s eighteen-month affair meticulously filed under “EXPENSE REPORTS Q1-Q4” on his laptop, she doesn't just get mad. She gets organized.

Instead of accepting his insulting divorce petition, which values her decades of household management, event planning, and emotional labor at next to nothing, Cheryl does what any rational, highly competent woman would do. She drafts a Statement of Account.

Billing her husband $600 an hour for fifteen years of unpaid marital services, Cheryl launches a $2.3 million dollar lawsuit that threatens to bankrupt Lando's ego, destroy his high-powered career, and drag his secrets into the light. With the help of a brilliant, strip-mall attorney who hates discovery as much as Lando hates losing, Cheryl turns the legal system into her own personal weapon.

I Billed Him For My Wasted Time is a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud story about a woman who finally realizes exactly what her time is worth, and collects it with interest.
