Synopsis

"A woman gets a chance to start over in this romantic novel... centering on wish fulfillment." -Kirkus Reviews

"An easy read, with a wonderful life-affirming storyline for women of a certain age. Life doesn't stop at 50 it just begins." -Secret Library Book Blog

On her 50th birthday, Missouri Rothman's expectations of a romantic trip to Tahiti and a surprise party take a sharp detour into a series of life-altering events. Instead of a fun birthday, a university student totals her car, her beloved job for 16 years is terminated, and her husband of 32 years asks for a divorce to marry his post-doc student with the 18-inch waist and perky boobs. Jobless and with only a high school diploma, Missouri must take the lemons life has tossed her and make the best lemonade possible.

With encouragement and help from a former high school teacher, Missouri applies for and is accepted into the university's art school. After realizing Missouri's incredible artistic abilities, her art professor recommends her for the study abroad art program in Florence. In Italy, Missouri gains confidence, blossoms into a new woman, and gets a second chance at romance with a younger man.

Making Lemonade is the story of a woman who has been wronged, yet finds the strength to pull herself out of the muck and begin life anew. Follow Missouri as she fights to overcome all obstacles and turn her life around.

Présentation de l'éditeur

On her 50th birthday, Missouri Rothman did not get the Tahiti vacation she dreamed of or the surprise birthday party she expected. Instead, a university student totaled her car, her boss – after 16 years of loyal and excellent service – gave her a letter of termination, and her professor husband of 32 years asked for a divorce so he could marry his post-doc student with the 18-inch waist and perky boobs. Half a century old, jobless, and with only a high school diploma, Missouri must take the lemons that life has thrown her and make the best lemonade ever – even if it means traveling to Italy alone to do it.
