Sticky Caramel

By T E Storm

Outwardly, Darcie Ryan is on track to have everything she desires. She's an over achiever with a high-end professional job. She maintains her slim physique without effort. She dates the guy other women want to bed.

However, her age is catching up with her. By her thirties, she thought she'd be happily settled with a partner and a brood of children. Unfortunately, her life's schedule doesn't match her body clock's. This clock is now clanging loudly! Her libido is also stewing. Her commitment phobic boyfriend is nothing more than a 'handbag' hanging off her arm. Every other single male she knows isn't worth a serious thought either. Her poor luck with men doesn't stop her body from exacting its revenge on her for her lack of progress towards baking her own brood.

Whilst she's holidaying in the Middle East, Darcie faints from the sight of lots of blood, hers, on the floor in a public bathroom. On her return to Australia, she discovers she has benign tumours in her womb. Whilst these aren't life threatening, Darcie feels her grip on the career ladder slipping. She is exhausted, lonely and directionless.

Her gynaecologist says, 'Darcie, think of life as sticky caramel dripping from your fingertips. Either you wash away the stickiness and whatever chances life offers you. Or you lick every droplet of stickiness and savour every experience life gives you. Stop dictating the path for your life and let life lead you instead.'

Sticky Caramel is a hilarious tongue in cheek novel about fertility, disastrous relationships and aspirations that single women in their thirties tussle with.
