The "Golden Bachelorette" has arrived, except it's a real-life version! "Molly Learns to Float" is loosely based on the author's own experiences after suddenly loosing her husband of 35 years, at the age of 58. The story outlines the power of opening yourself up to new experiences, and one woman's path forward as she faces being a single woman in a world which now includes online dating.
Molly Bartlett is a warm, friendly character who tells her story with honesty and a self-denigrating sense of humor, taking some of the sting out of her sharing of her journey, from removing her wedding ring, boxing up her husband's belongs all the way to going from first dates, first sexual encounters and finding new love and new purpose in life. It's a "self-help" story without the preaching, and with plenty of smiles along the way.
