Official synopsis Publisher
Some might call it a midlife crisis, but Josie Novak prefers to think of it as a midlife awakening.
With her relationship in shambles and her career floundering, Josie is at a crossroads.
Enter fairy godmother aka best friend Brigitte, offering Josie a chance to make the dream of opening her own bar a reality. But achieving dreams is not an easy thing, especially when you’re dating over forty and helping friends through the highs and lows of marriages, babies being born and babies leaving home, and all the other things life throws at this group of women as they navigate modern-day femininity.
Both heart-wrenchingly sad and laugh-out-loud funny, this forty-something coming of age story teaches Josie that being a woman might not be a fairy tale, but it is an elusive magic all its own.
