Would you like to read an inspiring fiction on work-life balance that explores personal growth and spiritual awakening in a fun, engaging way? Red Dress is one of those rare books that blend storytelling with deep wisdom. It’s a must-read for people interested in spiritual books, contemporary women’s fiction, and Bridget Finklaire books.
Set in London, Red Dress follows Katy, a career woman in her 40s whose seemingly perfect life is beginning to unravel. With a disconnected marriage to a power-hungry man, the pressures of teenage children, and the daily juggle of work-life balance, Katy feels lost and disillusioned.
An impulsive decision sets off a chain of events that changes her life forever. An encounter from the past and a mysterious sequence of numbers lead Katy on a rollercoaster ride of self-discovery. With apprehension and humour, she walks a transformational path of spiritual awakening. Delving deeper, she sees what truly matters and discovers her life purpose.
This beautifully written story appeals to those looking for psychological fiction, inspirational novels for women and books about transformation. It’s an engaging, light-hearted page-turner filled with humour, insight, and wisdom—perfect for those who enjoy quirky contemporary fiction with meaning, or fiction exploring spirituality.
Reviewers praise Red Dress for its relatable characters and heartfelt storytelling. Some concepts in the book are expanded in The Bone Circle© training for those seeking a deeper spiritual journey.

Rani, Amazon Review
Red Dress is an honest and extremely relatable book that breaks the, at times, spiraling tension with perfectly placed pockets of both wisdom and humor.
Russell Trunk’s Exlusive Magazine
“Bridget’s book takes you on an engaging romp through the protagonist’s spiritual and personal transformation. As a behavior specialist, I found her characters to be relatable and authentic. As a reader, I found myself hungry for more…”
Marc Cooper-DiFrancia, CEO & Founder of Creative Self Mastery.com
“Engaging, light-hearted and deeply touching, this book deals with universal themes: alienation, exploration and the quest for reconciliation – with who you were, where you are and what you want to be.”
Jane Bailey Bain, Author – Lifeworks
This was a book about how you can find your way mid-life if you are falling. I was initially attracted to it by the cover-which was warm, friendly and inviting. I immediately related to Katy, the lead character, mid-life, children growing up, always stretched in a million directions. I enjoyed learning about her and Richard’s relationship-and it was very realistic as she described how it crumbled. I thought that the book had a terrific story line, and flew through the last 30% of the book-which held my interest intently. As an American, I always enjoy books by the English, too. Nice job!
