Pensacola Reset

By Lee Bruno

This novel tells the story of a 38-year old woman who finds herself free from care giving responsibilities for an abusive husband just as her struggling business makes it into the black financially. She teeters on the threshold of a new life with no idea of how to go forward. An invitation to her high school's 20th reunion prompts her to go home-a place she has avoided to hide her financial struggles and her failed marriage. Once among familiar surroundings, she feels the full weight of her isolation and disconnection. Can she mend fences with her family and friends that she cut off to preserve her dignity? Is it too late to find love and start a family? Is there something wrong with her? Lila gets advice from all directions. Her brother wants her to come home where he can look after her. Her best friend from high school argues for living large in the moment. Be selfish for a change. Her reunion experience is totally depressing and reinforces her belief that there is something wrong with her. How Lila resets her life against the backdrop of Pensacola's beautiful beaches and bayous is an inspiration to women who ask the question, "Is this what I really want?"
