Silent-LanguageThe Silent Language of Leaders: How Body Language Can Help - or Hurt - How You Lead

HERE-HOME-HOPE-Cover

Kaira Rouda's  debut novel, HERE, HOME, HOPE won a 2011 Indie Excellence Award for fiction

 

Desperate Housewives meets Kelly Corrigan's The Middle Place in HERE, HOME, HOPE.

Kelly Mills Johnson is a 39-year-old mother and wife stuck in the rut of her middle - American suburban life. A routine relationship with her lawyer husband, two uber-successful businesswomen for best friends to envy and an all-around predictable existence motivate Kelly to reinvent herself.

In an often-times humorous manner, Kelly begins diving into new projects (armed with Post-it notes and a Things to Change list), revisiting old memories and rediscovering passions. Whether she is taking care of the anorexic teenager dumped on her doorstep, making up with an old high school friend or avoiding the boozy advances of her divorced neighbor, Kelly’s insistence on moving her life in a new direction and finding the perfect blend of home and career is inspiring and entertaining.
