In a poignant and witty novel about self-discovery, the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids explores the uncertain but fresh new start in life of a divorced perfumer.

Nikki Bridges leads a seemingly perfect life. She resides in an upscale neighborhood, indulges in her heavenly-scented hobby of creating personal-blend perfumes, cherishes her beloved daughter, and enjoys comfortable rituals with her loving husband. However, her world is turned upside down when her husband's affair, a shocking divorce, and an identity crisis emerge, leaving her in a state of bewilderment.

With limited resources, a lack of work experience, and a modest apartment, Nikki embarks on a tentative journey of self-discovery. Along the way, she finds solace in a waitressing job, forms deep connections with an empathetic group of friends, and reenters the dating scene at the age of fortysomething. It is through her interactions with Niraj, an ex-Londoner with captivating eyes and a hint of cinnamon and ginger, that Nikki experiences a renewed sense of warmth and inspiration.

Determined to reclaim her sense of self and pursue her dreams, Nikki embarks on a liberating quest for self-expression. She blends the pieces of a new life into a fragrance that is uniquely and passionately her own, creating a scent that captures the essence of her journey and the courage to embrace a fresh start.
