Starting Over at the Sunday Diner

Rosalind Beck left her third-act marriage on a Sunday morning with her mother's recipe box and a Boston fern. She didn't leave because of another woman. She left because she was tired of being a retirement plan. Now she lives above a diner in Port Clyde, Maine, and runs the Sunday breakfast shift. The cook is thirty-four. His name is Danny. He has been quietly in love with her pies since the third week. Her ex-husband expects her home by November. Her daughter stops taking her calls. Her friends in the old zip code think she's lost her mind. Rosalind is not lost. She is at the register, on a Sunday in June, exactly where she wants to be. A divorce romance about the second half of a life and the man who wants to share the shift.
