A Midlife Baby

Written by Cary J. Hansson

Narrated by Lisa Armytage

She’s fighting to become her own person again. Will her motherly instincts demand she sacrifice her tightly held dreams?

Helen Winters feels like a new woman. Determined to reclaim her future and enjoy the second half of life, the fifty-year-old comes back from a trip to Cyprus brimming with optimism. But just as the freedom of divorce is within her grasp, her daughter returns from college with an unwelcome surprise.

Trying to walk the tricky tightrope between being a supportive parent and an enabling doormat, Helen pours out her heart to her loyal girlfriends. And when the close group try to help her move forward, she finds herself on a direct path to conflict.

Will strained friendships and strong family ties collide in an act of unforgivable pain?

Cary J. Hansson

Cary is a fifty something mum of three, an ex-dancer, actress, waitress, cleaner, TV presenter, double-glazing sales rep, fax machine operator. You name it and she's cleaned it, served it, sent it or sold it. After years of globe-trotting and messing about, she settled down to a BA in Literature and Creative Writing, got a First Class and promptly moved to Sweden to start her own mid-life adventure. She swims in the Baltic sea year round, paddle-boards under midnight suns and has learned to sail. The author of six books, Cary's work has been shortlisted in national and international competitions. She writes stories about ordinary people, living lives of extraordinary courage and indestructible humour. She promises only two things: no knights in shining armour and no flying cars. Her characters save themselves, as in the end we all must do.
