Here, Home, Hope — Kaira Rouda

KELLY MILLS JOHNSON IS A 39-YEAR-OLD WIFE AND MOTHER STUCK in the rut of her suburban life. A happy but routine relationship with her lawyer husband, two uber-successful businesswomen for best friends to envy, and an all-around predictable existence as a mom of two who's lost her passion collide -- motivating Kelly to devise an ambitious and oftentimes humorous midlife makeover plan. Is Kelly brave enough to take the painful but necessary steps toward her own reinvention before it's too late?

With hilarity, endearing gusto, and charm, Kelly begins diving into new projects (armed with Post-it notes and a Things to Change list), revisiting old memories and rediscovering passions. Whether she is taking care of the anorexic teenager dumped on her doorstep, making amends with an old high school friend, or trying to avoid the boozy advances of her divorced neighbor, Kelly's insistence and panache at moving her life in a new direction and finding the perfect blend of home and career is both inspiring and entertaining.

As the realities of her rnidlife crisis come crashing down, Kelly works to repair the damages she's inflicted; realizes how deeply her husband, Patrick, truly understands and loves her; and ultimately grows into a woman empowered by her own reinvention.

Readers of Here, Home, Hope will be rooting for Kelly and ready to transition into something new in their own lives.
