Jenny's Story
YA mystery writer Baer turns to adult fiction withJenny'sStory, first in a series about three women who were childhood friends and featuring Jenny Owens, an average middle-class wife whose world is shattered when her husband of 12 years is accidentally killed. Tia Warden and Libby Morrison (the childhood friends) try to help, but then the other shoe drops: readers learn that Jenny's husband was a secret sinner, addicted to casino gambling and women. Fortunately, there's a new man on the scene, Michael, whom Jenny knew as a teenager but didn't trust. Michael draws lessons for life from gardening, and his wry, bashful courtship gradually wins Jenny over.John MortCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
