The author of CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAT GIRL—optioned
for
HBO—returns with the hilarious and heartfelt story of a
woman who must learn how to be the heroine of her own
life...a journey that will teach her priceless lessons about
love, friendship, family, work, and her own heart.
An account executive in a Mad Men world, Anna Wyatt is at
a crossroads. Recently divorced, she’s done a lot of
emotional housecleaning, including a self-imposed dating
sabbatical. But now that she’s turned forty, she’s
struggling to figure out what her life needs.
Brainstorming to win over an important new client, she
discovers a self-help book—Be the Heroine, Find Your
Hero—
that offers her unexpected insights and leads her to a
most unlikely place: a romance writers’ conference. If she
can sign the Romance Cover Model of the Year Pageant
winner for her campaign—and meet the author who has
inspired her to take control of her life—she’ll win the
account.
For Anna, taking control means taking chances, including
getting to know Sasha, her pretty young colleague on the
project, and indulging in a steamy elevator ride with
Lincoln Mallory, a dashing financial consultant she meets
in the hotel. When the conference ends, Anna and Lincoln
must decide if their intense connection is strong enough
to survive outside the romantic fantasy they’ve created.
Yet Lincoln is only one of Anna’s dilemmas. Now that her
campaign is off the ground, others in the office want to
steal her success, and her alcoholic brother, Ferdie, is
spiraling out of control.
To have the life she wants—to be happy without guilt, to
be accepted for herself, to love and to be loved, to just
be—she has to put herself first, accept her imperfections,
embrace her passions, and finally be the heroine of her
own story.
I found your posting to be quite interesting. The sad thing is, that a lot of people can go through their lifetimes, not being comfortable in their own skin. I'm slowly coming into my own, but due to outside circumstances, not everyone can grow up to be Cinderella, so to speak. No amount of tears can help. It just takes inner strength and resolve to get over it, and move on. I'm looking forward to reading your book, and find out a little more regarding the topic you chose. Perhaps I'll get some tidbits I haven't thought of. Congratulations on your latest book!! (Peggy Roberson 10:22am January 28, 2015)
