The Awakening of Invisible Women
In the pristine community of Mattauk, Harriett Osborne's once-showcase home has transformed into a wild, untamed landscape that horrifies neighbors. What they don't realize is that this isn't neglect-it's rebirth. Like her overgrown property, Harriett herself is undergoing a metamorphosis from discarded advertising executive to something far more powerful. This transformation mirrors a truth many women discover in midlife: invisibility can become your greatest strength. What happens when women who've been systematically pushed aside suddenly discover extraordinary abilities? "The Change" explores this question through three women entering perimenopause who find themselves wielding supernatural powers. Their story has resonated deeply with women over 40, sparking viral discussions about embracing midlife transformation rather than fearing it. The novel's brilliance lies in its reimagining of menopause not as decline but as awakening. Those hot flashes, mood swings, and physical changes aren't failures of the female body-they're transformations into something new and potentially more powerful. When society stops seeing you, perhaps that's precisely when you become most dangerous.
