About A Beginner’s Guide to Starting Over
ABOUT A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO STARTING OVER
“Gabi Coatsworth’s debut novel, A Beginner’s Guide to Starting Over, tenderly explores grief, self-discovery, and reinvention in middle life. Readers will cheer for Molly as she learns that standing on one’s own often requires getting comfortable with leaning on others. The heartwarming, hopeful tale is also a gentle reminder that it’s possible to fall in love more than once in a lifetime.”
– Jamie Beck, Wall Street Journal bestselling author
——
It’s time for widow Molly Stevenson to stand on her own two feet. With blind dates, a needy ghost, and her small‑town bookstore in trouble, she’s going to need all her inner strength to prevent another unhappy ending.
Forty‑something Molly can’t bear to remove her wedding band. Still grieving the death of her beloved husband, the last thing she needs is her sleazy landlord raising the rent to drive her bookshop out of business. Now, this mild‑mannered indie bookstore owner must find the inner strength to turn the page to a brand‑new chapter.
So she’s relieved when the ghost of her husband arrives claiming he’s there to help. But is he?
With a little nudge from beyond the grave, Molly hatches a plan to revitalize her boutique and keep the doors open. But with everyone, including her spectral spouse, insisting she start dating again, Molly isn’t sure what’s worse-the dates she meets online or the love of her life trying to find her a new man-who’s not quite as good as him. How will she find the courage to fight for herself?
About Gabi Coatsworth
ABOUT GABI COATSWORTH
Gabi Coatsworth was born in Britain but has spent most of her life trying to figure out how America works by living there. So if you find a British flavor in her books, don’t be surprised. Her memoir, Love’s Journey Home, was published in May 2022, by Atmosphere Press, who will also publish her debut novel, A Beginner’s Guide to Starting Over, in April 2023.
Unlike many writers, she can’t write in coffee shops because they’re too distracting, and she only drinks coffee as a last resort. She lives in Connecticut in a cottage that’s American on the outside, and English inside. If she’s not reading, writing, or traveling, you’ll find her in her flower garden, and holding a cup of her preferred beverage, strong English tea – she believes Earl Grey is for the weak.
She runs writers’ groups IRL and on Zoom, and you can find her all over the internet. To learn more, or to sign up for special bonus materials, start here, https://linktr.ee/gabicoatsworth or on her website www.GabiCoatsworth.com.
