Book Description
In the last year, Briony Gossage's life has been turned upside down by a nasty divorce, the loss of her parents, and a nightmarish new boss. To top it all off, she's now an empty nester, feels unloved, is lonely, depressed, and totally stressed about turning fifty. She desperately wants to reinvent herself but doesn't know how until a letter from a lawyer changes the course of her life forever. A total stranger has died and left the bulk of her estate to Briony. The estate not only includes a hefty sum of money but a quirky cottage called Three Hens on a small island in Maine, a flock of free-range chickens, and a cairn terrier. Briony moves to Three Hens, hoping to learn about her mysterious benefactor. But along the way, she learns that fifty is the new thirty, her empty nest maybe isn't as empty as she had imagined, and life is teeming with possibilities...especially when it comes to love. Spend a summer on the island with Briony as she reinvents herself and commits to leading a life of no regrets. Please also put as many of these reviews as possible: Praise for No Regrets: It's hard to resist a story that takes place on an island. A great read to while away the hours, especially if you're shipwrecked. - Gilligan I love it when there's even just a hint of a friendly ghost in a tale. - Casper A perfect mystery to savor on a chilly day in front of a crackling fire with a pot of Earl Grey tea and a currant scone. - Miss Marple Forget the tea and crumpets, honey. I read it on a blazing hot day in a cabana with a pitcher of martinis and some caviar. An utterly divine story! Hiccup. And that Briony has some spunk. You go, girl! - Mae West Frankly, I don't give a damn what Scarlett says. She's delusional. Always has been. Briony is nothing like Scarlett, thank god. Briony is everything a woman should be: unselfish, compassionate, smart, and witty. I wish I'd met her first. - Rhett Butler Any story with a cairn terrier is bound to become a bestseller. I give it ten woofs. - Toto To be continued...
