“Rediscovering Ramona grips you from the first moment. The humorous, yet poignant narrative is a truly engaging journey through the complexities of human connection and self-discovery. Banta’s storytelling truly shines.” Reader’s Favorite, 5 Stars (K.C. Finn)

After a terrifying event, witty Los Angeles writer Ramona ‘Ro’ Wilder struggles with crippling feelings of vulnerability. The global pandemic provides an excuse for her to withdraw from family and friends and seek refuge in her home in the bohemian neighborhood of Laurel Canyon.

Ro’s search for serenity is disrupted by Fred, her charming but annoying neighbor who constantly tests her patience. Their lively banter leads to an unexpected companionship, and she soon discovers that Fred has a serious illness. Just as pandemic restrictions are being lifted, a shocking event once again upends Ro’s life and forces her to venture from her carefully cultivated comfort zone to travel to exotic Morocco in search of Fred’s elusive best friend.

An inspiring and entertaining tale based on many true events in the author’s life, Rediscovering Ramona: Truth, Fiction, and Burt’s Bar leads the reader from the Hollywood Hills to the exciting casbah of Marrakesh as Ro seeks to redefine herself in a dramatically changed world.

“A must read for contemporary fiction fans.” Reader’s Favorite, 5 Stars (Manik Chaturmutha)
