With the big 5-0 fast approaching, Josie Brooks begins to question her structured, picture-perfect (mid)life.

Josie Brooks, at the age of 47, thought she was leading an enviable single life. A successful consultant, she calls her own shots, goes where the money is, and never needs to compromise. But her precisely managed world begins to falter during a Chicago contract when an economic downturn, a bleeding heart boss, and the loyalty and kindness between endangered employees ding her coat of armor.

Throw in hot flashes, a dose of loneliness, a peculiar longing for intimacy, an unquenchable thirst—not to mention a mysterious snowglobe with a serene landscape, complete with a flowing river and lush greenery that seems to be beckoning her in—and Josie’s buttoned-up life is on the verge of coming completely undone. Maybe her solitary existence isn’t as fulfilling as she has convinced herself to believe.

It will take a few new friends, a mystical encounter, and an unexpected journey to set Josie on her own path to “right-sizing” and making the life changes that really matter. Filled with laugh-out loud moments and a gentle dash of inspiration, Divine Appointments is another heartwarming charmer from a master storyteller.

From the Back Cover:

Josie Victor Brooks leads the perfect single life. She's a successful analyst who possesses total control of every aspect of her life. Just as her military father raised her, Josie is strong, independent, and always in the power seat.

A year-long contract brings her to Chicago to update, downsize, and streamline a large insurance company, but her buttoned-up sense of status quo begins to shift after she spends some time with the unusual characters working at Diamond Mutual. Then Josie experiences a series of unlikely mystical encounters when she acquires a strangely bewitching snowglobe and finds she wants more out of life. Where is this all-consuming thirst for intimacy coming from? Is she going mad? She has everything. Why is that suddenly not enough?
