STARTING OVER AT FIFTY-THREE
Viv Calloway is fifty-three, newly abandoned, and sitting on her kitchen floor eating Oreos.Her husband didn't just leave — he drained every account, forged her signature, and fled to Belize with a woman named Tiffani. His parting words? A Post-it note on the fridge.
Armed with a best friend who categorizes wine by emotional crisis, a community college class taught by a man with distractingly good forearms, and the stubborn discovery that running a household might actually be a marketable skill — Viv sets out to build the life nobody expected her to have.
For every woman who's ever been told her skills didn't count.
