Never Be Afraid to Fly

Helen Bach has always been the one to keep it together. A middle-aged, divorced flight attendant, she's mastered the art of smiling through turbulence-both in the air and in life. But behind the calm exterior, Helen is unraveling. Her career is hanging by a thread, her relationships are fractured, and her confidence has all but vanished.

When an unexpected chance at romance whisks her away to Italy, Helen dares to believe that maybe adventure-and love-still have a place in her life. What begins as a dreamy summer escape quickly twists into something darker and more dangerous than she could have imagined. Trapped between desire and fear, Helen must find the courage to confront her choices and reclaim her voice before it's too late.

With the humor and loyalty of her best friend Del by her side, Helen navigates heartbreak, betrayal, and the terrifying freedom of starting over. Along the way, she learns that second chances don't come gift-wrapped-you have to be brave enough to take them, messy and imperfect as they are.

Moving, suspenseful, and infused with wit, Never Be Afraid to Fly is a story for every woman who has ever felt stuck, silenced, or past her prime. It's a reminder that life has no expiration date on love, adventure, or dreams-and that sometimes the biggest risks lead to the most extraordinary rewards.
