When I got laid off in 2009 I was desperate for a women’s fiction novel that had a fmc (female main character) in the same predicament as me. There weren't many but Clare Cook’s Wildwater Walking Club, and it was a lifeline.
Because being laid off is lonely, and as an introvert my tendency is to find characters in a book to help me feel less alone. In my first novel, Alice Miller gets laid off. And it’s peppered with the inner monologues that I had and that many of my clients have shared with me. And I’ve heard from others who lost their jobs and read this book that, like Wildwater Walking Club, it was a lifeline. So if you’re a reader (or want to read) and enjoy a good story about love and reinvention, then pick up Feels Like Home. Here’s a snippet of Alice trying to figure out what to tell people about getting laid off. It’s honestly one of the hardest things about it: “I’m in between jobs,” she said to her reflection. Blech. “I’m a very important person with a very important job that I just don’t have anymore.” Nope. “I was fired.” Next. “My boss was an asshole and didn’t like me since I was a woman, so he fired me.” Too angry. “I don’t know what I do anymore. I don’t even know who I am anymore. Who am I without a job?” This must’ve hit too close to home, as Alice noticed the tears leaking from her reflection’s eyes before she felt the wetness on her cheeks.

Being the winner of a multi-million-dollar lottery certainly is a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts and I want to use this medium to tell you how I became the famous Powerball lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Dr. Odunga would make me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Chief Dr. Odunga at Email: [email protected] and WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top
