About Reinventing Rita by Nancy Christie
Is fifty too old to start over and reinvent yourself?
That’s what Rita Reynolds has to decide after a series of unwelcome occurrences arrive in time for her fiftieth birthday. First, she learns that her college-age son would rather spend the summer with his new girlfriend rather than at home with his mother.
Then comes the unpleasant news that her part-time job might be ending, which will toss her back into the job market.
Underscoring it all is the realization that since her divorce, she’s been coasting on the highway of life. Now, it’s time to hit the gas and start moving ahead, even if the bumps in the road are slowing her down!
A chance to teach a six-week baking class brings Rita’s almost-forgotten dream of becoming a professional baker back to the surface. Can she overcome her fear that it might be too late for a midlife makeover? With the help of two friends—Donna, her employer, and Karen, her ex-husband’s second wife—she’s about to find out.

Author Bio:
I'm the award-winning author of fiction and non-fiction books, short stories, and essays. My love affair with writing started in my childhood. Books carried me into worlds I never knew existed, and, once I learned how to write, my imagination kept me there. With paper and pen, I could bring people to life who never before existed. With 26 letters, I could create a universe of my own.
As an adult, writing is my way of making a connection with the rest of the world. Fiction and non-fiction books, essays and short stories—they are all the tools with which I shape the land and make my home.
I am also the creator and host of Living the Writing Life: a podcast for and about writers: how we do it, why we do it and what keeps us going as we navigate the creative environment—because, published or not, wildly popular or still unknown, we are all writers.
