SAVING Virginia

by Melinda Edwards

Virginia Goodall is a control-freak lawyer.

Newly divorced, with her children finishing high school and her career in transition, she faces the prospect of life without her familiar roles. If she is no longer the long suffering wife, devoted mother or benevolent boss - who is she?

Virginia’s journey of self-discovery is laced with humour and pain as she struggles with the realization that she may not be able to control everything and everyone around her. And that quite possibly, contrary to everything she has believed until now, control may not be the true path to authentic happiness.

Whilst Virginia’s story is a work of fiction, the realizations that she comes to are close to Melinda’s heart and she hopes that they will also touch yours.
