SYNOPSIS:

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 is to spend a week in isolation at a northern California bed-and-breakfast. There she hopes to resolve her professional and personal conflicts, and ultimately create a new and better future for herself by writing a new “story” for the Fran she wants to be!

REVIEW:

5 stars!

Inspiring and satisfying!

Finding Fran is the second book in author Nancy Christie’s entertaining and inspirational women’s fiction series, Midlife Moxie, featuring older women undergoing critical life changes. With an endearing and highly relatable heroine, this story has so much to love from start to finish.

I really loved the main character, romance author Fran Carter, even though, as more of a Diana myself, I wanted to shake her a couple of times early on. She’s a strong, capable woman who has settled into complacency, an unworthy relationship, and stagnation as a writer. This current state of being is reflected in her unfulfilling relationship with John, his one-sided relationship parameters, and her souring interest in her later-life career as a novelist, leading to flagging book sales and an uncertain future with her current publisher. The discovery of John’s true nature is her wake-up call, and she needs to re-evaluate what she wants in life and who she is as a person. Fran’s is a story of resilience, growth, and renewal: deeply foundational issues but handled in a delightfully entertaining manner. I was immersed in her struggle to overcome her emotional obstacles and get back into the game of life on her own terms. The author sets the story in a location perfect for reflection and brings secondary characters into Fran’s life who give voice to the exact things she needs to hear at just the right time. Her baby steps forward and her missteps kept me completely engaged with her journey.

I think readers of all ages and genders will be able to see a little bit of themselves in Fran, in her thinking, her failures and successes, and recommend FINDING FRAN to those who enjoy contemporary women’s fiction, especially with older female main characters.
