On the cusp of a new decade, Anna Granger thinks she knows who she is: widow, attentive mother, accommodating businesswoman. But with the Big 5-O comes the realization she’s rendered herself all but invisible. Longtime clients aren’t renewing, her adult children are moving on, and—hardest to admit—men no longer look at her, only through her.
Anna’s best friend takes the reins and organizes an uplifting girls-only weekend in Vancouver, where a beginner’s intimacy workshop reconnects Anna with her body. And when emails from former flame, Daniel, move from hinting at rekindling their romance to the offer of an all-expenses-paid trip to Cabo San Lucas, Anna takes another step out of her comfort zone.
Small-town island life goes from humdrum to hopping with the addition of Liam, the visiting New Yorker who rents the cottage next door. As romance reorganizes Anna’s personal life and her client list grows, dreams she abandoned when she embraced motherhood clamor for attention. Though the future holds no guarantees, can Anna claim her newfound confidence and find her way back to herself?
(Anna Granger, the heroine of Invisible Anna, is a 50 year-old widow with two adult children. As such, she has lived—and will continue to live—a life of varied experiences. Her story contains scenes of sexual reawakening, explicit sexual intimacy, and adults figuring out their relationships in ways that aren’t always neat and tidy. Her story also includes references to spousal death, abortion, and cancer (off page). I hope I have treated those issues with sensitivity.)
