The Placeholder
The Placeholder, a novel by Lynda Wolters –Published: November 1, 2022 Synopsis Successful, middle-aged attorney Serenade Kincaid finds herself sitting in court as a party to a lawsuit. Next to her is snarky, no-filter, sometimes friend, always boss, Carolyn. Recently jilted for a barely-of-age former floater in her firm’s typing pool, Sera is fighting for visitation of her stepdaughters. If this isn’t enough heartache, the just-out-of-diapers floater shows up to court 7-months pregnant, a crushing blow to childless Sera. Following her loss in court, Sera returns to the run-down motel she calls home after signing over her house to her ex as a failed bargaining chip. She ruminates with the soul-stirring songs of Etta James, drinking boxed wine out of a plastic cup and learning to swipe on dating apps. Carolyn, trying to bolster Sera into finding herself, brings her heaps of self-help books designed to stop Sera’s ‘chameleoning’ for every man she meets. But, in everything’s-a-joke fashion, Sera prefers to learn through osmosis rather than read the books.
