A Change of Seasons: A Humorous Women's Fiction Novel

Her mom’s moved in. Her kid’s sneaking out. And she can’t stop eating…

After a bitter divorce, respected psychologist CiCi Dupree longs to build a happy new future. But despite helping patients reclaim their mental health, she can’t shake her own fear that if she fully embraces life, she'll get screwed again – and not in a good way. While she hides out with her clinically depressed bulldog, eating comfort food and packing on pounds, her elderly mom and teen daughter are both falling in love and having the time of their lives – for now. Convinced they’re flirting with disaster, CiCi plays it safe with a nightly game of solitaire, “Bob” (her battery-operated boyfriend), and the hero in her favorite racy romance novel.

Hosting a senior citizen’s book club at her mom’s former assisted living facility is CiCi’s one social activity. But she soon discovers even that’s not safe when her choice of an erotic novel for the next reading selection triggers a lawsuit that threatens her reputation and her practice. Plus, the handsome lawyer she hires tempts her to have the time of her life too. Will CiCi risk her heart again for a man who could save her career? Or will she remain alone, afraid, and addicted to chocolate?

Told from the perspective of three women at different stages of life, "A Change of Seasons" is a poignant and funny multi-generational story about love, loss, and letting go.
