Call it middle-age madness or a midlife crisis, but SweetSpot: Now and Then chronicles one pivotal year in the life of Darlene Robinson, a woman grappling with hot flashes and the weight of being raised as a God-fearing good girl. She followed the rules... until she couldn't anymore.
Just days before leaving for her first writers' conference, Darlene makes a bold declaration to the man she married as a teenager: she wants out. Concerned for her mental health, she can no longer pretend to be the dutiful wife of a man who seems indifferent to her presence. Little did she know that the conference, her mother's sudden illness, and meeting Clive Charles would all play a part in reshaping her life.
Back then, Darlene chronicled her transformative year shortly after living through it. Now, with time and experience, her other self offers a new perspective, adding depth to the story as only time can.
Call it what you will, but shifting one's life in midlife is a journey many face, and Darlene believes SweetSpot: Now and Then will resonate deeply with readers.
