Adventures of a Born-Again Virgin

About the Book

The Adventures of a Born-Again Virgin is, primarily, written for fun. Although the premise of a widow in her fifties entering the dating world is autobiographical, the “adventures” are pure fiction based on the experiences of the author and her friends. There is also a parallel story about dating in the 1950s … the similarities and the differences. After being widowed, the author found love stories written only about and for young women … “goddesses with torn bodices.” Although women over fifty are also interested in romance, there are no heroines they can identify with. Adventures of a Born-Again Virgin corrects that problem. Read … enjoy … and remember.
