“Aloha! I invite you to read my novel, “Lady in the Window,” where you’ll find inspiration, hope, and healing through a young woman’s journey — experiencing loss, heartbreak, and betrayal — to the enchantment of self-discovery and the fulfillment of a loving relationship.”

-Maryann Ridini Spencer

Lady in the Window storyline:

Kate Grace, who seemingly has it all, faces the trials and tribulations we all face at one time or another in our lives — the death of a loved one, the breakup of a romantic relationship, and the desire to find one’s authentic place in the world. After a series of concurrent events turn her life upside down, Kate’s new friend, top TV talk show host, producer, and philanthropist, Olivia Larkin, a 42-year-old black woman who has successfully navigated the glass ceiling creating a dynamic life, comes to Kate’s rescue. Olivia offers Kate respite as her guest in a seaside garden cottage rental in the ancient, magical paradise that is Hanalei, Kauai. As Kate welcomes the “aloha spirit” into her healing process, the angelic and otherworldly occurrences that begin to transpire during her respite are too poignant for Kate to ignore. Lady in the Window leads Kate towards her path of destiny: discovering true love, purpose, and the infinite bond between mother and daughter.

Pack your bags for a mystical “Aloha” journey to Hawaii’s Garden Isle of Kauai…
