The Cabernet Club — Rona S. Zable

At 68, Debbie Gordon has six months to get a life. Except for a brief, magical year in Manhattan when she was 21, the long-divorced, former legal secretary has always lived in her sleepy New England hometown, always the good girl, the funny girl, the responsible mom, who has learned to buck up when bad things happen. When her only child Lori and family unexpectedly move away, Debbie can finally retire and live the life she's always wanted, but that life is in Florida. Her helicopter daughter has other ideas and begs her to move in with her in Delaware. They come to an agreement: Debbie has six months (the term of her rental lease) to find happiness in Florida, or she will move to Delaware (likely becoming the family's unpaid nanny). A story of mother-daughter relationships and finding yourself again after retirement.
