Thoroughly divorced but ever the optimist, Pamela faces the realities of aging and the leaps of faith required to put a "sparkle" on her daily life in this humorous short story by Kate Atkinson, the bestselling author of Life After Life.

Pamela is a newly retired teacher with time on her hands. She's finding it hard to muster enthusiasm for what's ahead: exhausting postdivorce dating rituals and an uneasy relationship with her emotionally stunted, live-at-home son. But for Pamela, there's a surprise in store that could challenge the status quo and, against all expectations, make life interesting again.

Kate Atkinson's Shine, Pamela! Shine! is part of Out of Line, an incisive collection of funny, enraging, and hopeful stories of women's empowerment and escape. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single thought-provoking sitting.
