The Cabernet Club

Pour a glass, pull up a chair, and meet your new favorite friends.

Debbie Gordon has six months to get a life. Long-divorced and restless, she moves into a quirky Florida condo community expecting nothing more than poolside small talk and early-bird specials. Instead, she stumbles into The Cabernet Club—a circle of sharp, funny, fiercely loyal women who believe midlife isn't an ending, it's a beginning.

Between nosy neighbors, unexpected romance, and the constant buzzing of her helicopter daughter checking in from afar, Debbie learns that reinvention can be messy, intoxicating, and absolutely worth it. With her new friends (and a few very good bottles of wine), she discovers that life after divorce isn't about slowing down—it's about finally turning up the volume.

Brimming with wit, warmth, and a perfectly poured cabernet, this debut novel is a joyful ode to second acts, friendship, and the surprising freedom of midlife.

For fans of The Golden Girls, Book Club, and Lessons in Chemistry, The Cabernet Club is a hilarious, heartfelt celebration of late-in-life friendship, female reinvention, and the courage to claim joy on your own terms.

Raise your glass. This is the book club you've been waiting for.
