Overview

Conscious uncoupling, single parenting, dating and mating. Throw in career reinvention, a fiscal meltdown to rival the GFC, and a determination to have some fun along the way, it's clear one Gap Year was never going to be enough! Facing a crumbling marriage, an insecure financial future, and the daunting prospect of single parenthood, Nathy Gaffney was scared. At the age of forty-seven, it felt like all her friends had their acts together, while she was a struggling actress flailing for a lifeline. Would she survive her menopausal mid-life reinvention? In her no-holds-barred memoir The Gap Year(s), Gaffney takes readers on a raw and rollicking odyssey through heartbreak, utter resolve, and ultimate redemption. Refusing to take on the role society designates for women in their middle-aged years, Gaffney opts for possibility and transformation (with a liberal sprinkling of sexual renaissance). With courage and relentless enthusiasm, she shape-shifts herself and her life into what she wants it to become, not what society thinks it should be. The Gap Years is a story of hope and empowerment and refusing to settle for less than what you deserve.

Author Information

Nathy Gaffney has had what can be politely termed a 'diverse portfolio career'. A professional actor and comedy/cabaret performer for over twenty years, she's also spent time working behind bars (and drinking in them), waiting on tables (and dancing on them), being a nightclub door bitch, barista and celebrity impersonator. These days she's traded treading the boards for the boardroom, working as a facilitator and executive coach with Phuel Australia where she still enjoys a captive audience - albeit minus the feath- ers and sequins. The Gap Year(s) is her first book, soon to be followed by The C Word - a personal development book focusing on female confidence. Nathy lives wedged between the city and the sea in Sydney's eastern suburbs, with her teenage son and adventure seeking partner.
