Book excerpt: Come along for a fun girls' trip to Arizona with a group of old friends as they navigate the challenges of midlife together. Can these forever friends recapture their zest for life together? Annie Pierce knows the best part of turning fifty will be raising a glass in a toast with her oldest friends. As long as there is water, wine, and warmth, plus time to reminisce and reconnect, everyone should be happy. Fun with friends is a great way to escape life for a while. And Annie needs the escape. Will a week in Arizona be enough to quell her growing trepidation? She’d expected to enjoy her empty nest, but the house is too quiet and regrets are piling up over decisions made long ago. The rift within her blended family feels like a chasm. Her husband is pulling away, her ex is back, and loyalties are in question. Frustrations at work aren’t helping. A favorite student is making stupid choices and putting lives at risk. As she awaits her first grandchild, Annie would give anything to bring her family back together. How can this soon-to-be grandma muster the energy to save both her family and her students? She’ll need the support of her best friends if she’s going to move forward through these paralyzing midlife struggles. She used to be fearless. Now she’s frozen. Can Annie begin to thaw under the Arizona sun with a little help from her friends?
