Falling Apart, Falling for You is Women’s Fiction with strong threads of romance and a satisfying, happily-ever-after ending you’ll love.

This is the first novel in the “Next Act” series. (The second book is due out in 2023.)

Suzanne Fleming has spent most of her adult life working as a traveling trainer for an airline, untethered and mildly content. Just when she begins to feel a stirring in her heart to settle down with a seemingly perfect guy, she loses her job and is forced to face unexpected change in her career, her romantic prospects, and her spiritual life.

In the wake of her husband’s sudden passing, Rachel Baran helps organize her upcoming high school reunion in tiny Port Mariette, Pennsylvania. When she reaches out to Suzanne and Marla Galani, the third member of their trio, she’s not prepared for a journey that will lead her to independence, forgiveness, and peace.

Just after Marla Galani sells her thriving Manhattan business, she revisits high school friendships and her mysterious past. Seeking family, forgiveness, and purpose, she adds her marketing expertise to the group’s ambitious plans to revitalize the blue-collar town that brought them all together.
