I just started reading Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns, who took up writing as a way to get through her cancer treatments at about the age of 60.
The character development is very good, and the book is both touching and entertaining. There's a sequel that Ms. Burns had partially completed before her death...I plan to read the sequel next.
Also picked up Enemy Women by Paulette Jiles because I liked her book Stormy Weather. Both are historical novels.
