But holding on isn’t going to be easy, not with mourning her mother’s recent death and trying to kick‑start her literary career after a two‑year spell of writer’s block. As Cassie edges toward the bottomless pit of mid‑life angst, a journal written by her Revolutionary War ancestor may just help her connect the past to the present and make peace with her future.
With a touch of humor, Cassie copes with monumental change ‑ from her daughter and only child rushing into marriage to being uprooted from her ancestral Vermont home – to finally acknowledging that the invention of polyester stretch pants was a darn good idea after all.
Cassandra Latham‑Stanislavsky strives to survive this pivotal passage, a time when autumn falls in every woman’s life.
