REKINDLING CLAIRE (first published under the title LETTERS FROM DAVID), is a journey of miles and of a woman’s heart as she struggles to reinvent her life after losing her husband, her home, and her direction in life. In the tradition of contemporary mainstream romance novels driven by letters, a Midwestern widow faces devastating changes in midlife and discovers the truths of life and love within the pages of letters. Struggling to reclaim her sense of self, and estranged from her children, she struggles to reinvent her life in a house by the sea and finds that the destination is manifested by the journey. She worries about her son, who serves in the military, and her estranged daughter, who lives in Paris. Claire Mead has a terrible, dark secret weighing her down, but suddenly, she realizes she has something she never had before—her freedom.
