A Storied Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781717355416)

"Live your own story. Make every moment count." Olivia Frasier grew up under the guidance of her grandmother's mantra: "Live a storied life." The oft-repeated words gave her the courage to pursue art instead of working at the family bank until a mistake made in college altered the course of her life. Now, no one knows Olivia still paints. Not her friends. Not her staff at the art gallery. Certainly not her family. She can ignore the twinge of unease, the regret that surfaces when Gram's mantra comes to mind, the question of whether this is all life has to offer. When Gram announces she has terminal cancer-and names Olivia as her Power of Attorney for Healthcare-Olivia is thrust in to the world of hospice and dying wishes. Olivia may be the family's black sheep but she is determined to see Gram through this, no matter the cost. Faced with losing the one person on her side, Olivia clings to the knowledge that Gram's death will finally allow her to walk away from the family. And yet Gram is determined to impart one last lesson: let go of the past so she can live the life she's meant to lead. When Reagan walks into her art gallery, the timing couldn't be worse. He's everything Olivia ever dreamed of wanting but she has learned to settle for less when it comes to her relationships and career. At what point does owning your story outweigh the potential hurt? Weaving together grief and beauty, humor and romance, A Storied Life will make you rethink life, love, and loss. Please note: this book explores the death of a loved one by cancer and contains mentions of past sexual harassment and suicidal ideation that could potentially trigger certain audiences.
