THE SILVER LININGS SERIES

Book 1: From Cashmere to Coveralls

In the wake of a drawn-out divorce, 63-year-old Trish finds herself navigating a drastically changed world. Reduced to working at Macy’s to make ends meet, she longs for the luxurious lifestyle she once knew. Despite winning alimony, it falls short of sustaining her needs, and her attempts at modern dating through online apps yield little more than temporary flings with men who desire only a fleeting romance.

While exploring the garden section at Home Depot, Trish encounters Tony Mancini, a rugged blue-collar worker in his fifties whose warmth and genuine nature shine through as he shares valuable gardening tips. Trish discovers he’s also a passionate farmer who delivers fresh vegetables to the very shelter where Trish volunteers. While Trish’s heart is still searching for a wealthy partner who will take care of her, an unexpected friendship blossoms between them.

When a serious accident lands Trish in the hospital, her carefully curated life unravels further. With no one able to offer a place to recuperate, Tony steps in with kindness, offering her a place to stay and recuperate in his quaint cabin on his farmland in Exeter, RI. With the endorsement of her friend Deena, who also volunteers at the shelter, Trish embarks on a new chapter in her life, leaving her comfort zone behind.

As Trish recuperates, she witnesses Tony transform his land into a stunning garden filled with vibrant flowers, while the close-knit Mancini family brings a touch of warmth and tradition into her life. Guided by her passion for horticulture, the pair soon devise a plan to cultivate beautiful blooms for elegant homes and high-end events, turning their shared love for gardening into a thriving business.

Heartwarming and transformative, “From Cashmere to Coveralls” is a story of second chances, unexpected love, and the beauty that can arise from the most challenging circumstances. Join Trish as she learns that love knows no boundaries, and sometimes the most fulfilling relationships can bloom in the unlikeliest of places. Perfect for women ages 55 and older, this enchanting romance will remind readers that it’s never too late for fresh starts and the pursuit of happiness.
