FALLING APART, FALLING FOR YOU

Chris Posti

I turned 70 on April 29, 2022, the day my debut novel was published. While I don’t feel like I’m 20 anymore, my life is full and active, making me feel far from 70. Yet the world often discounts me, even acts like I’m invisible. Can you relate?

The three main characters in my novel, Falling Apart, Falling for You, are age 57. They come together again for the first time since graduating from a parochial high school 40 years ago. One just lost her job (she’s sure it’s because she’s too old), another unexpectedly became a widow, and the third has made a fortune but now has no purpose in life.

All three are struggling with who they are and who they want to become. As they renew their friendship, they figure out a few things about themselves. They grow in their faith, open themselves up to new relationships, and even save their little hometown from financial ruin.

One of the messages I hope readers will take away from this book is hope, regardless of one’s age. There are all kinds of hopes, but the most important one of all is the Hope within me.

And that’s why it doesn’t bother me when I’m treated as inconsequential. I know who I am in Christ. Can you relate?

BLURB for Falling Apart, Falling for You

With their lives in a free fall, three women gather for their 40th high school reunion in tiny Port Mariette, Pennsylvania. At 57, is it too late for them to make a fresh start?

Suzanne

After spending most of her adult life working as a traveling trainer for an airline, untethered and mildly content, Suzanne feels a stirring in her heart for a seemingly perfect guy. But when she abruptly loses her job, she lands in surprising new territory.

Rachel

Seeking distraction in the wake of her husband’s sudden passing, Rachel helps organize her class’s first reunion in 40 years. Stunned by an old friend’s shocking secrets, she struggles to learn forgiveness as she tiptoes into her new-found freedom.

Marla

After selling her thriving business, Marla revisits high school friendships and her mysterious past. Seeking family and a renewed purpose, she adds her marketing expertise to the group’s strategy for revitalizing the blue-collar town that brought them back together.

“A witty novel featuring relatable characters and surprising twists—everything from sharing shame-filled secrets, hobbling through grief, growing a fledgling faith, and the joys and trials of enduring friendship. Falling Apart, Falling For You will capture your heart and encourage you that it’s never too late to make a fresh start.”

Having been to the 45 th anniversary of high school graduation, I can totally identify with the book and the premise for it. What amazed me at the reunion was who had gone on to live a purposeful life and who had drifted through the years. It certainly is a wake up call, but with time to change.
