HTML:<b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Evvie Drake Starts Over</i>.<br /></b><br /> <b>“A testament to the truth that love comes in all shapes, sizes, and situations.”—Jodi Picoult</b><br /> <b>ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, <i>PopSugar</i></b><br /> Smarting from her recently canceled wedding and about to turn forty, Laurie Sassalyn returns to her Maine hometown of Calcasset to handle the estate of her great-aunt Dot, a spirited adventurer who lived to be ninety-three. Alongside boxes of Polaroids and pottery, a mysterious wooden duck shows up at the bottom of a cedar chest. Laurie’s curiosity is piqued, especially after she finds a love letter to the never-married Dot that ends with the line “And anyway, if you’re ever desperate, there are always ducks, darling.”<br /> Laurie is told that the duck has no financial value. But after it disappears under suspicious circumstances, she feels compelled to figure out why anyone would steal a wooden duck—and why Dot kept it hidden away in the first place. Suddenly Laurie finds herself swept up in a righteous caper that has her negotiating with antiques dealers and con artists, going on after-hours dates at the local library, and reconnecting with her oldest friend and her first love. Desperate to uncover her great-aunt’s secrets, Laurie must reckon with her own past and her future—and ultimately embrace her own vision of flying solo.<br /> With a cast of unforgettable characters and a heroine you will root for from page one, <i>Flying Solo</i> is a wonderfully original story about growing up, coming home, and learning to make a life for yourself on your own terms.
