Finding Fran: A Midlife Moxie Novel
()
About this ebook
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? A week at a northern California bed-and-breakfast, where she hopes to overcome a bad case of writer's block in time to meet her next deadline while deciding how to handle her relationship issue.
As she struggles to resolve both situations, Fran finds encouragement and support not only from her long-time friend Diana, but also from unlikely sources: the elderly gun-toting woman who owns the B&B and is facing challenges of her own, the book store manager who offers a delicate critique of Fran's previous books, and the stylists at the salon who give Fran a new look to go with her growing sense of the woman she wants to be and the life she wants to live.
Can she do it? Will Fran be able to turn her midlife mess into a personal and professional triumph?
If you love reading stories about women fifty and older dealing with personal and career challenges, and whose friends play an important and integral part in their life reinvention, then you'll love Finding Fran!
