Jane Sandburg was living a lie and didn’t know it until her husband Bill’s cheating came to her – literally- across the computer waves via instant messaging. Jane’s life as she knew it was over, but Jane wasn’t. With the help of her friends, scrap booking and a new online venture – Sisters, Ink, Jane is on the mend: heart, mind and soul.
And, then she meets a handsome stranger.
Handsome stranger crops up in some odd places, before Jane realizes he is the handsome man next door. Jake. With the crazy cat Major-Carter who Jane’s sweet dog Wilson doesn’t like so much. (I’m a dog person, so I’m on doggie’s side here). But, somehow, Jake and Cat and Jane and Dog find a way to get a long and even develop a relationship. And, then, just when life is cruising Bill drops by and proclaims his love again.
In the midst of all the action in Jane’s life, we also meet the other women in her group.
Lydia who is struggling with infant twins Otis and Olivia and a husband who is frustratingly distancing himself from the family with TV sports.
Single mom Mackenzie's (Mac) younger daughter Tabitha has an infant daughter yet still manages to get in trouble with the law, and while Tabitha seems as if she wants to move away from her criminal life style isn’t really making effort to do so.
Mari a new member to the group, who knows nothing about scrap-booking, but with the help of Sisters, Ink, is preparing a scrapbook for her adopted daughter Andrea Marenilda waiting in Chile.
This book earns the Reviewers Choice Award because I found myself thinking about Jane and Lydia and Jake and even Buster, long after I’d finished the book. Any book that has you pondering the doing’s of the characters from its pages - well that’s a great read to me!
