Produktbeschreibung

Paula, Stephanie, and Melissa are three good friends. They met when they moved into the same neighborhood. That was several years ago, and now they all have young children. They see each other frequently, they go out together as often as they can, and they consider themselves close. They can't imagine a strain on their friendship until a new family moves into the neighborhood.
The new family has children the same age as theirs, and the three friends want to get to know the mom. At first, Kay seems nice enough, although she's on the young side, and clearly not from the same background. Her two daughters are friendly, and get along well with all the other children. Paula, Stephanie, and Melissa try to include Kay in multiple ways, although some of them are less enamored of her than others. But as time goes on, Kay begins to act oddly, and no matter what they do, her behavior becomes even more bizarre.
It becomes clear to the three women that Kay has mental health issues. But their reactions to this realization are very different. Do they ignore it? Ask her to get help? Talk to her family and help them cope with Kay's challenges? Is a mental health issue the same as a physical health issue? How are they going to handle this situation, and can they handle it together? Or is Kay going to be the problem that breaks up their friendship? And, will Kay be okay? This book will change how you think about mental health, gender roles, and ultimately, friendship in general.

Autorenporträt

Remember that painfully shy girl in middle school who hid behind a curtain of long straight hair? Of course you don't! My hair is shorter now and no one who knows me would call me shy. My interest in writing piqued considerably when my eighth-grade English teacher read a student's work aloud and then announced it was mine, and a fellow student looked at me wide-eyed and exclaimed, "YOU wrote that?" It didn't hurt that he was cute and had never noticed me before. I still get a thrill when I see my writing published.
After years of writing programming code and technical documentation I quit my job and turned to what I call "early childhood education": raising children. Now the children are older and I've found the time to write for fun, and it is fun or I wouldn't be doing it, because I keep myself busy. I'm on the board of a non-profit, belong to the world's best writing group, play tennis, practice yoga, and travel when I can. I'm interested in cooking, gardening, the environment, and nutrition, and I'm an NPR podcast junkie.
There are three signs tacked to my desk: "Stop Me Before I Volunteer Again", "Ginger Rogers Did Everything Fred Astaire Did Only Backwards And In High Heels", and "I'll Try Being Nicer If You Try Being Smarter". I have two completed novels and ideas for four more. Surprisingly, no agents have come to my door asking if I have any books I'd like published, so I'm doing it on my own.
