Sometimes it takes a friend to push you in a new direction ...

A fiftieth birthday is hard for everyone, but especially for Sherri Egan. It's not that she's unhappy; she just knows she wants something more.

Annette Hinton has been dreaming of change. She's tired of her job as a teacher. She's growing weary of her predictable lifestyle.

When Sherri finds a midlife reinvention conference, Annette is more than willing to join in the fun. As the two navigate new ideas and possibilities, they set up The Midlife Pact as a way to keep themselves on track.

For Annette, that means finding a new career, and growing closer to a husband she's always adored. A recent cancer scare has left them both realizing their own mortality and ready to move forward in a big way.

For Sherri, that means trying to forget an ex who simply won't leave her alone. What can she do to put that relationship behind her, and step into something that fulfills her heart and soul?

A story of change, reinvention, and a quest for second chances in life and love.
