Genre doesn't matter as long as it has the element of finding herself or reinventing. It can be romance, paranormal, fantasy or even just a regular contemporary book. I am open to pretty much anything though not interested in biographies by politicians or celebrities...
Doesn't matter if it is fiction or non-fiction.
If anyone has a book that immediately springs to mind with a male protagonist with this theme and think this would be perfect I am open to those suggestions as well if it is considered a must read...
Thanks :-)
