About this listen
Now, at fifty, Barbara is determined to start anew, so she makes a bold move—leasing her suburban home and leaving behind the comfort of her past for the fast-paced streets of New York City. As she reconnects with Elsa, an old friend who owns a publishing house in Manhattan, Barbara is presented with the opportunity she had once dreamed of—a career in publishing.
As she dives into this new chapter, Barbara discovers an unexpected treasure buried in the slush pile—a manuscript so raw, heartfelt, and deeply personal that it stirs something within her. The story mirrors her own struggles with loss and grief and her quest to rebuild a life. Compelled to learn more, Barbara sets out to find Hunter, the mysterious author behind the manuscript, who left no last name or contact information.
When she finally finds him, Barbara is surprised by the man behind the words—a quiet yet deeply insightful writer who has his own scars to bear. As their relationship grows, shaped by honesty and shared experiences, Barbara begins to open her heart to the possibility of love again. In Hunter, she discovers a partner who not only sees her for who she truly is but also inspires her to embrace life’s unpredictable beauty.
As Barbara navigates the challenges of her new life, will she find the strength to face the unexpected, rediscover parts of herself she thought were lost, and embrace the woman she is meant to be?
