I had preordered a different book by this author after a recommendation and in doing so, I saw this novel, her debut. I checked out the sample and I had to know the rest. So I bought it for my Kindle! 

I started this novel in an afternoon and finished it that evening. I totally enjoyed it and highly recommend it as a clean fiction, indie book. 

The main character is a woman finding her way to her new normal. She is figuring out who she is after a couple of life-alternating experiences:
- losing a spouse early in life
- becoming an empty-nester alone

There are so many aspects to this book: great loss, a wonderful trip to Austria, a chance encounter with a first love, family situations, great friends, romance, a special non-profit, and so much more.

It kept my attention throughout my oft-interrupted reading time! Highly recommend!
