Flipping The Script: A Decade of Borrowed Time
A raw, funny, and deeply intimate memoir about love, desire, motherhood, and the courage to choose aliveness in the middle of real life.
Set against autism motherhood, midlife reinvention, and a decade-long relationship with a man twenty-six years younger, this book explores what happens when a woman stops living by the rules she was given and starts listening to herself instead.
Unapologetically honest and emotionally precise, this story isn’t about defending choices or offering tidy lessons on age gap dating. It’s about telling the truth: about longing, responsibility, resilience, and what it costs and gives back when living with eyes wide open.
This memoir is for women navigating midlife, caregiving, love, and identity at the same time for readers who are less interested in easy answers than in honest reckoning, self-trust, and the courage to live fully inside the lives they already have.
