Life Aches: In and Out of the Fishbowl

Sometimes it takes a little magic to mend a broken heart.

Thomas Fenelli used to be a winner. Then he hit bottom and kept digging. His best friend’s a fish. His brother’s a philandering bully. And he’s haunted by a girl who ghosted him. He’s lost his career, his self-respect, and all hope of maintaining his sanity.

He’s about to give up on life when he meets Noelia, a Spanish beauty who exists only within the walls of the Thomas Paine Cottage Museum in New Rochelle, New York. She leaps from the paintings and into his heart, restoring his self-confidence and teaching him how to move forward.

When Noelia’s museum is marked for demolition, her existence is threatened. Now Thomas must struggle to rebuild his life while rescuing the spirit who saved him from himself.
