THE UNBREAKABLES is the captivating tale of Sophie Bloom, a woman from the Chicago suburbs who jets off to France after her “perfect” marriage collapses, putting the broken pieces of herself back together while reviving her own joie de vivre.  There, in the City of Light, Sophie begins the difficult journey of self-rediscovery. The trail takes her south to the artistic hub of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. In this beautiful and seductive town, she embraces her desires, unearthing her sensuality and reclaiming her passion for sculpting. Sophie becomes a “ghost sculptor” --  working with a famous French artist who is dying. Together, they create “Eve”—a masterpiece of the Biblical heroine. Ultimately, as Sophie comes to terms with who she is now and what she wants for her next chapter, she must figure out how the pieces of her past and present fit together. This powerful novel reflects second chances, female bonding, finding love again, empowerment, and embracing the truths that set us free. Publishers Weekly says THE UNBREABABLES is an "exquisitely wrought novel that will appeal to readers who believe in the redemption of new beginnings ..."
