omg! I had to hold back the tears reading this. So many things Val and I have in common except I've never married. And mom is still alive, but not doing well and I can't save her.

Marylee, this is fantastic! I love it 💕

Thank you Kathleen. You make my heart sing. You will want to read the next chapter too. It comes out Tuesday. Val reveals more of what’s going on for her.

This first book is somewhat the introductory book to the Women of the Canyon and features Raven.

Each main character will have a book where they are the protagonist. I think Val’s story will be expanded in book 3.

I really want to get into the depth of emotions of women looking toward their next chapter. I’ve been reading more from women focusing on ageism and being invisible. Maybe Val is the one to dive more fully into this issue. Here persona fits that story.

Thanks for your support!! ❤️

you're welcome and let me tell you there's no wimpy nurses out there. I can tell you that 💪

We have to be born with strong wills and strong personalities or people die.. its just the way it is.

I was raised by a very strong woman (New Yorker), and all the women in our family are very strong. H*ll yeah 🤫

Well, if you know, Westchester, you know Westchester country club. My mom‘s family had a membership there if that’s what you call it. She loves swimming
