Hello and happy March, everybody! I feel like I’m bursting with news this new year (although it makes me laugh that it’s March, yet I’m still in “it’s a new year!” mode). Anyway, without further ado, I’m ecstatic to announce the recent launch of my brand new book: SOMETHING OLD.
If you enjoy emotionally compelling stories about family relationships, women’s friendships, romance for women over forty, and the pets who bring us so much joy (and I know you do!😁 ), you’re going to love Madeline’s story about surviving heartbreak, starting over later in life, and finding home again.
| After crushing loss, could you find the strength to start again? Madeline’s world caves in when her husband, daughter, and sister are ripped away in one fell swoop. After three years of heartbroken limbo and loneliness, she realizes that to survive, she needs to fight her way back to some kind of life. If not for herself, then to honor her lost loved ones. She throws her belongings into storage, sells her house, and heads to a new-to-her small town. There she invests every dime she has to open what had been her and her daughter’s shared dream: an upscale second hand, consignment, and upcycling store. It has to work, or else—No. She can’t think about that. It has to work. The birth of Madeline’s heart-healing Second Chance Shop is not without pain, which she expected. And despite the ticking clock on whether the shop can support her, she is floored to find things she’d lost hope of ever experiencing again: laughter, dear friends—including a fat, slightly cantankerous cat and a distinguished old yellow lab—and surprising moments of joy. She might even have a second chance for something as old as humanity itself: romantic love. If she’s brave enough, that is—and if she can let go of talking with her deceased family and fully embrace living. |
Even more exciting (well, to me, anyway, but also hopefully to you! 😀) is that Something Old kicks of a whole new series – The Second Chance Shop.
If you give Madeline’s story a try, I hope you love it in every way – and that it provides a nice escape for you.
As ever, thank you so much for reading! I appreciate your support very much.
Wishing you a wonderful, safe spring!
