After her canceled wedding, Laurie Sassalyn returns to her Maine hometown to settle her great-aunt's estate. Digging through her aunt's house, Laurie is surprised to find an old love letter with a strange signoff and a gorgeous carved wooden duck. When the duck disappears under suspicious circumstances, Laurie dives into her great-aunt's secrets and discovers what it means to make a life for yourself.

Flying Solo is a cute summer romance about discovering yourself in your midlife full of silly hijinx as Laurie fights to get back her aunt's duck with the help of old friends and a handsome ex-boyfriend. Holmes's story heavily relies on the concept of an alternate happily ever after, showcasing that marriage is not for everyone.
