Cary J. Hansson’s Midlife series captures the comedy and chaos of women hitting the middle stretch of their lives. A Midlife Holiday (2022) kicks things off with a trip that goes sideways, while A Midlife Baby introduces an unexpected pregnancy into the mix. A Midlife Gamble and The Story of the Ring continue following these characters as they make choices that range from brave to questionable.
The series works because Hansson writes midlife not as a crisis but as a strange, unpredictable season full of both loss and possibility. Her characters are imperfect, funny, and recognizable to anyone who has ever looked around at forty-something and wondered how they got there.
