They were still charting in pen when Vanessa left her nursing career to stay home with her profoundly autistic son. Fifteen years later she’s thrust back into the workforce due to a family crisis, and everything has changed. As the older new-hire, she must get up-to-speed on technology, all while navigating hot flashes and a much younger colleague that is making her life miserable. Will she win her coworker over and succeed? Or will Vanessa lose her job, and along with it her family’s home and health insurance?

Vanessa Goes Back to Work is a novel about the sacrifices women make as long-time caregivers to special needs children, and about finding oneself in unexpected territory in midlife. It is a coming of “middle-age” story. Free on Kindle.
