The author of CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAT GIRLโoptioned for HBOโreturns 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, sheโs done a lot of emotional housecleaning, including a self-imposed dating sabbatical. But now that sheโs turned forty, sheโs struggling to figure out what her life needs. Brainstorming to win over an important new client, she discovers a self-help bookโBe the Heroine, Find Your Heroโ that offers her unexpected insights and leads her to a most unlikely place: a romance writersโ conference. If she can sign the Romance Cover Model of the Year Pageant winner for her campaignโand meet the author who has inspired her to take control of her lifeโsheโll 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 theyโve created. Yet Lincoln is only one of Annaโs 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 wantsโto be happy without guilt, to be accepted for herself, to love and to be loved, to just beโshe has to put herself first, accept her imperfections, embrace her passions, and finally be the heroine of her own story.
