Lonely Millie

Millie Garcia wakes up on a sunny Saturday with no birthday plans except to visit her mother’s gravesite and to hang out with her Pekingese. She feels sad about her diminished social life, but she is determined to be positive. She likes new beginnings. What could be a better beginning than her twenty-ninth birthday? Now is the time to make changes; so she vows to break through her safe, small, boxed-in existence. Starting today, she vows to face life with confidence and courage.

Then she runs into Daryl at the cemetery. He has a sexy swoop of hair over one eye, a nice personality, and a life just like Millie’s life. He also lost his mother recently, and he also seems lonely. Could this be a part of her fresh start? She likes him, so she wants to make something happen. Should she be more cautious?

The next couple of years are full of challenges. She discovers more about Daryl, makes new friends, and learns shocking hard truths. She screws up—now she needs to pull up from her misery and find a way forward. Again.
