Debut Novel Featuring Mature-Age Women Published on Author’s 70th Birthday

PITTSBURGH, PA, April 12, 2022, (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — Suddenly having unexpected time to read during the pandemic, Chris Posti found the dearth of novels featuring female protagonists over the age of 50 maddening. Solution? She wrote one herself. Within two years, she’d segued out of her extensive career as a career/executive coach, newspaper columnist, and radio show host to achieve what many spend their whole life wishing for—publishing a novel. The bonus is that it’s just in time for her 70th birthday.

 

Posti drew from life experience in crafting Falling Apart, Falling for You, which tells of three women, former best friends, now age 57, whose lives are suddenly upended—one lost her job, another’s husband suddenly died, and another became filthy rich but lost her purpose in life. When they get together to plan their first high school reunion in 40 years in a small town in southwestern Pennsylvania, they’re transformed—romantically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Along the way, these savvy ladies even lead the charge to save their hometown from financial ruin.

 

“The story centers on the theme of reinvention. Each character goes through her own transformation as she leaves her old life behind and steps into a new season, full of aspiration and purpose and, yes, a bit of romance,” says Posti. “Women in their fifties and beyond may qualify for senior discounts, yet they’re alive and kicking. They want novels that inspire and transform. Falling Apart, Falling for You is a clean, fun read with a message of faith and hope, filled with characters who overcome challenges, along with a dose of mature-age romance, some juicy secrets, and a charming renewal of old friendships.”

 

“A witty novel featuring relatable characters and surprising twists—everything from sharing shame-filled secrets, hobbling through grief, growing a fledgling faith, and the joys and trials of enduring friendship. Falling Apart, Falling for You will capture your heart and encourage you that it’s never too late to make a fresh start.” – Award-winning novelist Sarah Hanks

Chris Posti, who turns 70 on her book’s April 29 release date, is available for media appearances and for giving talks to book clubs, 55+ communities, and church groups. For more information, including a press kit, see www.chrisposti.com.
