Unexpected: A Novel of Change and Friendship (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781946425935)

A promotion, a pregnancy, a new group of friends, an enemy-the mix is life changing!

There are certain things associated with being "middle-aged." Like preparing for an empty nest, achieving higher levels of success in your career, and long-standing friendships. Lonnie is a typical woman at this stage of life, married with two sons, climbing the ladder at her job, living life the way it's supposed to go. Until life doesn't go the way it's supposed to. Her career aspirations become threatened when she learns she is going to be a new mom. Again. And honestly, at this stage in life, she'd prefer career promotion over pregnancy. Her briefcase over a diaper bag.

This unforeseen detour crosses her path with unlikely friends and unintended foes. A woman who had it all under control is now plagued with anxiety, insecurity, and a run-in with the law. Insults to her character and body will forever change her. As if normal aging wasn't enough to deal with, she must rethink what it is to be a career woman, a mother, and a friend. Where the path ends is . . . unexpected.
