"… solid and evocative… a satisfying read... Fran's journey of discovery results in a comforting narrative, featuring a main character whom readers are sure to find relatable... Readers will root for Fran to turn her life around in this cozy, accessible novel." — Kirkus Reviews

A cheating lover and a failing career—Fran is 55 and facing a midlife mess!

Fran Carter had it all—a successful career as a best-selling romance novelist and a passionate lover. But now, at 55 years old, she's facing a midlife crisis. Her books aren't selling like they used to, and her lover has been caught in a compromising position with his models. To make matters worse, Fran's writer's block is at an all-time high. But she's determined to turn things around.

Desperate for inspiration and a break from her troubled relationship, Fran escapes to a quaint bed-and-breakfast in northern California. She hopes to find the peace and clarity she needs to meet her looming deadline and figure out what to do about her cheating lover.

As she navigates her way through her personal and professional struggles, Fran finds unexpected allies in the most unlikely places—from a feisty elderly B&B owner to a blunt book store manager and a group of sassy stylists. With their help, Fran begins to see a glimmer of hope for her future.

But will it be enough? Can Fran turn her midlife mess into a midlife success?
