‘Molly Learns to Float’

Award-winning advertising creative director and new novelist Diane Wade signed copies of her novel “Molly Learns to Float” on Saturday, July 22, at the Elm Street Bookstore in New Canaan, Connecticut.                                           

Loosely based on the author”™s own experiences after suddenly losing her husband of 35 years, the goal of this novel is to inspire others that it is possible to find new love, laughter and purpose, even after devastating tragedy. In the case of Molly, it took a little help from friends, family, an animal shelter, an online dating site, a good dose of inner strength and an unsinkable sense of humor. 

Wade spent most of her career as a creative director/writer of consumer advertising at ad agencies large and small, including her own. Along the way she taught advertising copywriting for almost a decade at two colleges. A passionate animal lover, she is a long-time board member of the Humane Society of Westchester, a proud mom of two grown daughters, and the stepmom to two grown boys and one girl. Among all these family members she now enjoys 5 grandchildren. “Molly Learns to Float” is her first novel, but she”™s already working on the next one.
