It’s never too late to reinvent yourself. Tucked away in the Arizona desert is Palm Lakes Senior Community, a gated retirement village full of secrets and second chances. Every day the residents in Palm Lakes wake up with the opportunity to create a new ending to their life stories.

Not your stereotypical retirees, this group of seniors includes New Age spiritual seekers and a serial killer as well as regular people facing later-in-life challenges. Follow Helen, Owen, Tanya, Jean, and a host of others as they navigate their extraordinarily everyday circumstances. From the loss of a domineering spouse to skeletons falling out of the closet, these neighbors face a daily choice: give up before they start or face their challenges with unmatchable courage. Their tales will leave you feeling curious, comforted, and changed for good…

Renaissance is women’s fiction about contemporary lives lived well. If you like characters with gravitas, innovative points of view, and heartbreak mixed in with happiness, then you’ll love Maggie McPhee’s Autumn In the Desert series.
