Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fifty. Divorced. Single for ten years. Children finally flown the nest. Surely this is the bit where life gets easier?Apparently not.Kate has spent years building a perfectly respectable adult life. She's independent, capable and, from a reasonable distance, appears to know exactly what she's doing.Then fifty arrives.Along with perimenopause, brain fog, rogue chin hairs, dating apps, technology that appears personally offended by her, and the alarming discovery that nobody actually hands you the instruction manual for midlife.There is also the small matter of discovering, rather later than expected, that her brain has been operating on its own particular instruction manual all along.AuDHD.Not an explanation for everything. Not a new identity to squeeze herself into. But one more piece of information that makes Kate look back at herself with rather more understanding - and considerably less judgement.So Kate does what any sensible woman would do.She gets a dog.JG is part Frenchie, part mystery and entirely convinced that Kate's personal life requires supervision. Unfortunately, his contribution to emotional support mostly consists of judgemental staring, questionable smells and impeccable timing.Then Kate decides to date again.There are men.Some lovely. Some baffling. Some who really should have arrived with warning labels.Fortunately, Kate has Deana and Trish - girlfriends, drinking companions and the original unofficial therapy committee - plus Sophia, her beautician, confidante and dispenser of uncomfortable truths between treatments.But somewhere between the dates, the disasters, the disappearing men, the hormones, the friendships and the increasingly suspicious bathroom mirror, Kate begins to realise something.Perhaps this was never really about finding a man.Perhaps it was about finding her.Funny, warm and gloriously irreverent, Unapologetically Sovereign is a midlife story about friendship, dating, perimenopause, late-discovered AuDHD and the liberating moment when a woman stops asking whether she's doing life properly.A story for women who've spent years wondering why some things seem harder than they apparently should, for women navigating the glorious chaos of midlife - and for anyone beginning to realise that understanding yourself doesn't mean redefining yourself.Because fifty isn't the beginning of the end.It might just be the age when you finally stop apologising for becoming exactly who you are.
