The Unraveling of Abby Settel

By Sylvia May

Abby Settel’s well-ordered life is falling apart. Her son is behaving suspiciously, her aging parents are deteriorating, and her husband loses his job. His new position compels them to move hundreds of miles away, where Abby is plagued by guilt and loneliness. When she discovers a group of women facing the similar challenges, together they seek a way out of their unhappiness.

This is a story of mid-life reinvention, letting go and embracing the present, and the importance of friends.

“An intimate portrait of where today's women often find themselves in mid-life. May's debut novel sings with the very real despair of loneliness and celebrates the unique talent of women to discover happiness in small things. The Unraveling of Abby Settel is meant to share with friends.”
~ Sarah Collins Honenberger, author of Catcher, Caught
