Willa in Hiding: A Small Town Women's Fiction Novel - Paperback

She came to La Jolla to hide. She stayed to be found.

Willa Starling came to La Jolla to write. That's what she tells herself, anyway. After a years-long relationship with the wrong man, Willa needs a reset. So she packs up, rents a place by the coast, and promises herself she'll do nothing but work.

But avoiding your past is hard when you're surrounded by women who refuse to let you disappear. Harriet Langley Young and Charlie Young-two locals who have faced their own unravelings-spot Willa's sadness from a mile away. They don't press, exactly. But they're persistent in the way that only people who've clawed their way back to themselves can be.

As Willa struggles to finish the story she's supposed to be writing and outrun the one she's actually living, she starts to realize that reinvention isn't about erasing who you were-it's about finally telling the truth.

With sharp humor and unflinching honesty, Willa in Hiding is a story about shame, second chances, and the women who help us rewrite the parts we thought were finished. Perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid and Abbi Waxman, this novel explores what happens when you stop editing your life-and start actually living it.
