A cheating lover and a failing career—Fran is facing a midlife mess!
Once a best-selling romance novelist, 55-year-old Fran Carter is now dealing with a slow but steady drop in book sales and a major case of writer’s block, complicated by the knowledge that her lover, a professional photographer, has been on the wrong side of the camera (so to speak) with his models. (So much for her author brand, built on the premise that women in their fifties and beyond can still find love and happiness.) Her solution is to spend a week on her own at a northern California bed-and-breakfast while she grapples with the issues confronting her.
Bust instead of isolation, Fran meets strangers-turned-friends starting with the eccentric B&B owner, Martha Saxs—women who offer her plenty of advice and encouragement. But can they help her turn her midlife mess into a midlife success?
