Synopsis

Amidst the peace, love and social upheaval of the early 1970’s, Wendy Murray is ready to take the plunge into a new life.

With her best friend Cindy along for the adventure, Wendy falls in love, reinvents herself and must navigate relationships with numerous men, all while her estranged husband makes frequent reappearances. When her self-confidence grows and her ambitions in business overshoot her realities, Wendy’s world becomes too much to handle, and she plummets into escapism and drug use.

Through triumphs and challenges, Wendy slowly comes to realize the potential that was always within her. A tale of engaging transformation, healing after failure, and the power of a loving best friend. A Woman in Search of…is a story for anyone who loves the 70’s, women who prevail over adversity, and celebrating the bond between besties.

Book Excerpt

A Woman in Search Of...

“I can certainly understand what you’ve been through, it’s been tough. You mentioned you are bored with your job. Is there something else you’d like to do?”

“Not that I can think of. My big interest is gardening but I’m not sure how I could use that to make a living.”

“Maybe think about gardening and how you could develop a program with your managing experience. What else interests you?”

Wendy stared straight ahead. “I don’t really have any other interests. I’ve been gardening since I was a child and have always loved watching plants grow and flowers bloom.”

Dr. Lewis stared at Wendy and smiled. “Sounds like a wonderful hobby.”

“Oh, it is.”

When the session ended Wendy sat in her car thinking about all the questions Dr. Lewis asked. She leaned her head against the car seat going over the discussions about Scott and her dad being so similar with their indifference to her. As tears dribbled down her face, she thought how awful the start of 1973 had been.
