A Novel
by Jane Tara
A self-help book wrapped in a funny, poignant novel, Tilda Is Visible is for anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and found fault within themselves.
Tilda Finch is a successful businesswoman, a mother to two wonderful adult daughters, and besides an unexpected divorce, she's living a relatively happy life. Until she wakes up one morning and her finger seems to have disappeared. She thinks back to the kombucha she drank the night before—perhaps it was spiked? Studying herself in the mirror, she discovers one of her ears has also disappeared! She rushes to the doctor, who after a multitude of tests says she's sorry to inform her that she has invisibility, a disorder that affects millions of women worldwide, mostly after the age of forty—she is disappearing, and there is no cure.
Tilda isn't overly surprised. She's felt invisible for years. But after attending a support group for women like her and seeing how resigned they are to simply fading away, she thinks there must be a better way. Hesitant, she seeks out a controversial therapist who compels her to realize that she can't expect the world to see her if she can't first see herself. And the new man she meets, who she thinks is blind to her faults, might just see her more clearly than anyone has ever before. Because if we can get the voices in our heads to stop being so critical and be more compassionate, we might realize how wonderful we truly are.
"Tilda Is Visible is an uplifting and thought-provoking story about rediscovering yourself. Jane Tara reminds us how important it is to show kindness and compassion, toward ourselves and others." —Margarita Montimore, USA Today bestselling author of Oona Out of Order
"Fun, freeing, and wise, Tilda Is Visible is a manual, a manifesto for those of us (all of us?) who are still so hard on ourselves–even though we're old enough to know better!" —Fran Littlewood, New York Times bestselling author of Amazing Grace Adams
"A warm, big-hearted story encompassing all the foolishness and wisdom, rage and humor, and most of all, the hope at the heart of midlife." —Eleanor Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Weird Sisters
