Better with Friends
She built a life for everyone else. Now it's her turn.

Jackie Turner had a plan: work hard, climb the corporate ladder, and be the best single parent she could be to her twin girls. But now, at forty-eight, she's facing ageism at work, living alone in her big house that once rang with laughter, and wondering how it all slipped so far off track. With a stalled career, an empty nest, and a father who is fading, the woman who once held it all together is beginning to question whether any of it truly mattered.

Desperate to reconnect with something real, Jackie returns to her Minnesota hometown and to the women who once knew her best. Decades have passed since their summers at camp, when they called themselves the Kaleidoscope Girls and believed anything was possible. Time and distance may have frayed the edges of their bond, but as they come back together, Jackie finds the connection is still strong. Laughter flows easily, and so does the kind of support she hadn't realized she needed.

As midlife brings even more fresh challenges, Jackie faces the weight of decisions she made years ago. But within the comfort of old friendships, things begin to stir. Honesty deepens. And a spark of hope flickers, reminding her it's not too late to start again.

Better with Friends, book one in The Kaleidoscope Girls, a relatable women's fiction series, is a heartfelt story of second chances, shifting identities, and the friendships that carry us through life's hardest seasons.
