After years of dedicated service and hard work, Trisha Donahue is denied a well-deserved promotion by her company's male executives, who instead give it to an underqualified man. Devastated, forty-four-year-old Trisha begins to confront the demands that exhaust her, the injustices that confront her, and the ways she has betrayed herself "just to fit in" with coworkers who resent and belittle her abilities. However, at the Rose & Emerald, a unique rural restaurant that Trisha has loved since childhood, her company's annual Banquet Day sets in motion a surprising adventure, revealing unexpected allies, hidden passageways, and an interstellar secret. Encouraged by a vibrant cast of characters, from sympathetic coworkers to the mysterious employees of the fabled Rose & Emerald, Trisha makes a decision that will change her professional and personal life forever.

From acclaimed author Ellen Cooney, A Cowardly Woman No More is a lively, luminous novel about a wife, mom, and career woman who brings herself first nervously, then more and more bravely, through a monumental transformation.
