What Inspired this Book?

'Engaged to a Stranger' is the story of Maggie Lindenberg, a wealthy socialite who allows other people to push her into things she has no interest in.

When readers meet Maggie, her mother has bullied her into a career that she doesn't want to have anything to do with and a stranger named Brian has talked her into a potential romance that she's very skeptical of. 

​One of the major themes in this story is learning how to say no and stand up for one's self. 

This is challenging for Maggie because, like a number of women, she was taught to be a people-pleaser.  

The idea for this story was born back in 2011, when I published a book of short stories and Maggie Lindenberg was a main character in one of the stories.

I recently re-read her story and decided it needed a refresh. 

The revised book is not quite completed yet, but hopefully it will be available on Amazon very soon. 

If you'd like a sneak peek at the first chapter of 'Engaged to a Stranger,' feel free to drop me a line and I'll send it to you by email.

Thanks for hanging around to see what's going on this month!

Best,
Paula
