Friendships, Heartbreak, and Power (3 Minutes with Kathryn Dodson)

One of the great joys of reading is the ability to travel without ever moving your feet, and one of the great joys of writing, is the ability to live vicariously through your characters. Both of these vantage points combine beautifully in FIVE TRIES TO GET IT RIGHT, the newest release by my guest on this week's episode of 3 Minutes with the Author, Kathryn Dodson.

Join Kathryn and I as we chat about being a world traveler, vicariously living the naughty side of life with one of her characters, and her favorite thing about being an author. WATCH NOW.

About FIVE TRIES TO GET IT RIGHT

What would you do for your best friend?

When her best friend hits rock bottom, a lonely widow convinces her to join a worldwide voyage retracing their wild youth in a last-ditch effort to heal heartache and reclaim meaning.

Lydia is a small town teacher who can't imagine life alone after her husband's death. Kate built a successful career, but now faces emptiness after divorce and professional failure.

The longtime friends travel to the exotic locales of their youth, trying to find meaning amidst heartache and loss. In Spain, Amsterdam, the Caribbean, Australia, and finally Costa Rica, they reignite passions for life and love that time had extinguished. But Kate still plans to end it all, until a surfer from the past offers Lydia another chance, forcing her to choose between saving her friend or herself.

Five Tries to Get It Right is a heartfelt story about female friendships, the heartbreaks of life, and the power of women to choose their destiny. R-rated scenes.
