When the Shoe Fits...: Essays of Love, Life and Second Chances

2014 INDIEFAB AWARD finalist!! Inspiration. Empowerment. Reinvention. From soccer mom to prosecuting attorney. From body cast to the back seat of a Harley. From sneakers to stilettos. When a hard fall from a tall horse landed Mary T.

In essays ranging from “Turbo Dating—the Year in Review” to “Riding Pillion,” “The Limoncello Diaries” and “Angels in the Snow,” Wagner’s signature writing style combines humor, insight, and grace under pressure, and serves up the author's signature theme that “it’s never too late to make mid-course corrections.” Whether reflecting on subjects as diverse as motherhood, the view from the back of a Harley, the impending loss of a parent or the therapeutic effects of a post-divorce bonfire, Wagner’s honest and heartfelt essays resonate with universal experiences of love, life and reinvention.
