Willing: A Novel

A voyage of self-discovery that begins and ends in bed...Liz Silver prefers life without the excruciating complications of love which is why she has affairs and not relationships. But she cant live without the creativity that feeds her photography business. When her creative spark mysteriously fades out she suspects trouble ahead—something inside her has changed and not for the better.. Until now Liz has found contentment and career success within the idyllic Vermont town where she lives with her snarky college-bound daughter and far-too-clever standard poodle. And no matter her own feelings about intimacy she wishes everlasting love for the couples she photographs. They dont need to know she is relieved that Cupid trains his arrows far from her. They might however notice her new indifference to their nuptials. Liz needs to figure herself out before her bottom line turns red.. What she learns on her journey of self-discovery is just as shocking as having her lessons dispensed by the men she beds. The biggest shock of all is when one of those men forces a confrontation with her old nemesis: Love. So far Liz has managed to avoid that irritatingly insistent emotion but it is blocking her path toward a creative breakthrough of the most extraordinary kind. To achieve that breakthrough she must find the courage to fight her way through what will be the most painfully enlightening—or just plain painful—lesson of all.. Beautiful imagery a perfect amount of heat and fun! —A Midlife WifeAn immensely enjoyable read and journey—highly recommended. — Sarah Goodreads
