“What would you do if you woke up in your usual life,
and by the end of the day, everything had changed?”
That’s the question Nancy King poses in her newest book, Changing Spaces, as she introduces us to Laura Feldman who suddenly loses the “life” she has lived for the past forty years.
When her husband of forty years suddenly wants a divorce, shaken-to-her-core Laura Feldman embarks on a bumpy ride from her black & white Midwestern life to the bold colors of New Mexico. In this new landscape where anything might happen–and does–Laura finds inspiration, strength, and transformation in the friendship of Santa Fe women who help her walk the winding road to self-discovery and the home of her heart.
“Location. Location. Location. Nancy King gets it right when she explores how a woman radically changes her life by changing her location.
—Judith Fein, author of Life Is a Trip: The Transformative Magic of Travel”
“Heartbreak turns to intrigue. A season of grief leads
to a wig, a closet, a script, cookie recipes, new
friendships, and a wide-open future.”
—JEANNE MURRAY WALKER, Author of Geography of Memory
Changing Spaces grew out of a conversation Nancy King had with a woman who said:
“That was before I lost my life.”

A prolific playwright and essayist, King has also written seven nonfiction books—most recently Dancing With Wonder: Self-Discovery Through Stories—an exploration of her writing and drama workshops in the US and abroad.
She feels fortunate to be privy to the stories people share.
