Late Bloomer: Finding My Authentic Self at Midlife

Melissa is a middle-aged suburban wife and mother, firmly rooted in the life she's always wanted. Yet she longs for something more—something she can't quite put her finger on. When she finds herself mesmerized by the sight of a woman, she asks herself for the first time: Am I gay?

This question sends Melissa on a head-spinning journey of self-discovery, one that challenges everything she thinks she knows about herself. Torn between her desire to be true to herself and her desire to protect her children, she's consumed by fear and conflicting emotions.

Adrift in uncharted waters, Melissa finds fragments of understanding and peace in unexpected places that help her deconstruct her preconceptions about faith and identity, and she begins to construct a new framework for her life. Throughout her journey, she finds hope, love, and the courage to persevere.
