Publisher's Synopsis
Reality and fantasy are entwined in this gripping story of one woman's journey to find inner strength in a psychologically destructive relationship.
September (Seppie) Webb, a divorced, middle-aged New Yorker, had always viewed marriage and romance idealistically. Her pursuit to meet a virtuous and charismatic man who can ignite the flame inside of her is a challenge, at best. Hungry for passion after leaving a lifeless marriage, Seppie takes a plunge into the sea of single men, and the culture of midlife dating has her frustrated and disillusioned.
Unexpectedly, she meets the prominent widowed attorney, Teddy Zezza and is swept off her feet by his charming persona. A whirlwind romance unleashes her sexual prowess and encourages her to take a leap of faith. Lured by his charisma, she neglects countless red flags.
After a few months of dating, Seppie has fallen hopelessly in love and accepts Teddy's invitation to move into his home with his young daughter, Lily whom she adores. In an effort to remain in a romantic relationship, she stays tethered to an unstable man and finds ways to justify his actions.
Searching for September is a must read for any woman who has ever loved deeply and passionately, abandoned her soul to another, given of herself unselfishly, denied herself unyieldingly, and questioned every decision during her voyage.
