HOUSES
by OLGA SOAJE. Lady Reader’s Bookstuff Tours is hosting a
week-long tour for Ms. Soaje for her new book. Twelve
Houses
which is Contemporary Woman’s Literary Fiction. The book
addresses and tells the tale of one woman discovering her life is far from
over. Join us today and follow along to see some great posts including an Amazon
Gift Card giveaway!
Can anything good follow the best thing that ever happened
to you?
Amelia Weiss loved her husband of thirty-five years very much, but now he’s
left her a widow. Without him, she is unable to work in her sculpture studio
without crying. She no longer has a bridge to her estranged daughter. And she
can’t seem to keep her mind in the present.
But when her daughter reaches out asking for her help and her agent threatens a
lawsuit if Amelia doesn’t deliver for an upcoming exhibit, she’s forced to make
a choice. Will she reengage with her life and the people in it—allowing room
for things to be different than they were before? Or, will she remain stuck in
the past, choosing her memories over real-life relationships?
Thrust fully into the present, Amelia stumbles into a surprising journey of
self-discovery.

On my latest novel Twelve Houses, I tell the story of a
widow who discovers that her life story is far from over. Amelia is a brave
woman who struggles to find her true place in the world and at the same time to
create a life that holds spiritual meaning and purpose.
Though my first book, Borrowing My Mother’s Saints, was a
comedy set in New York, I think both books describe a similar spiritual journey.
The struggles of all of my characters are very important to me, and I love to
hear from my readers about my books.
In my everyday life, I am married, and my husband and I
are raising two sons. We currently divide our lives between San Diego, California,
and Mexico.
