This Was Supposed to Be the Easy Part

Colleen Avery spent years waiting for the day her children were grown and she finally had time for herself.

Now her youngest has left for college, the house is quiet, and Colleen has discovered one small problem:

She has absolutely no idea what to do with all that freedom.

As her children build lives of their own and her husband enthusiastically embraces their empty nest, Colleen must figure out what comes next—without filling every available minute with someone else’s needs.

This Was Supposed to Be the Easy Part is a warm, funny novel about letting go, holding on, and discovering that the next chapter of your life doesn’t have to replace everything you loved about the last one.
