Life as Sara Davidson thought she was living it has disappeared.
Her lucrative jobs in television have dried up, because she's no longer perceived as young and edgy. A cowboy she fondly labeled as the love of her life left her without notice. Her teenage daughter takes deep offense at everything she says. She applies for a job teaching writing at a university, and nobody's ever heard of her. She bitterly complains about all this to a friend who replies: "Oh, honey, you've got money problems and no sex. That's not good."
On impulse, Davidson decides to move from Los Angeles to Boulder, CO, where she strives to put together a new life. And she begins to write, Leap!, an amusing and truthful story framed as a personal journey. A personal journey that many Baby Boomers follow while attempting to answer the question, "What will we do with the rest of our life?"....now that the kids are out of the house, our original spouses have either died or wandered off somewhere, and our careers have come to a grinding halt.
