Women's Fiction, Based on a True Story
(Co-Written with Helen Martin Ippolito) 

Helen lived quite the life, and she struggles with telling her story because writing it herself carves the truth into her heart. Yet, sometimes getting it out into the world is best, so when she meets Jenna, a young woman nearly a third her age, she asks her to help.

​

Jenna is in denial about her relationship with Ben. He promised her everything she thought she wanted, but seemed to be dragging his feet about giving it to her. Jenna dreams of being a writer, so she enrolls in a class at a local university...

​

...and there she meets Helen.

​

Helen shares the story of her Italian-born grandmother and mother, each woman making life choices that ultimately cause them to die with broken hearts. Then she confesses the ups and downs of her own life as a high fashion model in Chicago, in a time when men ruled the workplace and made beautiful women feel like objects.

​

Both Helen and Jenna needed to meet.

Sometimes the bond between women puts each on the right path to healing.
