Finding the Invisible Woman by Heidi Renee Mason
Contemporary Women Fiction, 256 pages
Published November 23, 2021 by Hot Tree Publishing
What do you do when no one sees you? How do you find yourself when you’ve become invisible?
Forty-three-year-old Hadley Monroe has outgrown her life. Nothing in her world seems to fit anymore. A loving wife and doting mother of two grown daughters, Hadley has always put the needs of her family first, quietly tucking away her own dreams of being an artist. Although she doesn’t regret her choices, Hadley has entered the phase of life where she feels lost.
Her children are grown, and her role as a mother has changed. Hadley’s husband, Charlie, an attorney and ten years her senior, doesn’t seem to need her anymore either. Hadley loves Charlie with all her heart, but lately, he's been distant, and Hadley believes he's keeping a secret. Unable to connect with him, she is isolated and alone.
A chance encounter with a stranger sets in motion a series of events that will upend her life and challenge everything she ever believed. When Hadley receives the call that her abusive, estranged mother is dying, she feels the walls closing in even more. Her solid, perfect life is unrecognizable. Can she find her way back to the woman she used to be? Does that woman even exist?
How can she find herself when she has become invisible?
My thoughts about Finding the Invisible Woman ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First lines—"Had I known that day in the coffee shop that the conversation I was about to have would forever alter the course of my life, would I have stopped myself?
I think this book has one of the best first lines I've ever read. How does anyone know how one particular incident in their life will affect the rest of their life? If things had transpired differently, what would Hadley's life look like now?
So needless to say, this book grabbed from that very first line. Once again, Heidi's writing threw me into an amazing story that I couldn't help but devour. The story is filled with great characters and a very interesting storyline. I totally came away from it thinking about what a small world it is, fate, being in the right place at the right time, and that everything happens for a reason.
I have read several of Heidi's stories now and I'm constantly blown away by her versatilely in writing. Her stories are all so different from the next one and I never know what I'm going to get when I start reading but I have loved everything I've read so far. I highly recommend Finding the Invisible Woman. It was another fabulous read!
I received Finding the Invisible Woman from the author and this is my honest opinion of the book.
