Losing her job in middle-age was not exactly the tragedy it was supposed to be for Alecia--a corporate peon in modern day America. In fact, losing her job was the beginning of finding herself and her delayed dream of becoming a writer. Reflections on events from childhood summers shape how Alecia views her new unemployed status and help her navigate through identity loss, worth, and purpose in this new "summertime" way of life.

Alecia lives in Louisville, Kentucky with her two daughters, Abigail and Bella, Rose the dog and Nicky the cat. She is a regular contributor to Medium.com and spends her free time traveling, hanging out at home with the kids, visiting her favorite coffee shop, and writing. And yes, she went back to a corporate job, but is looking forward to either winning the lottery or retirement--whichever comes first.
