<!--eof Product Price block --><!--bof free ship icon --><!--eof free ship icon --><!--bof Product description -->Some mistakes are easy to forget, while others can become glaring reminders of past failures that stand ready to haunt you for the rest of your life. For Laney Winters, life is full of glaring reminders. Starting with the fact that she's pregnant at forty-one, has just been divorced by her louse of an ex-husband who has a fetish for his secretaries, and, to top it off, has been forced by financial circumstances to move back home to live with her two very eccentric, matchmaking old-maid aunts. Nothing like hitting a Trifecta when it comes to making the kind of mistakes that call for some serious life re-evaluation. This wasn’t quite how Laney had pictured her life turning out when she’d left town at seventeen, vowing never to return to Down, Texas, or the Pine Street Diner again. The last thing she expected to find in either place was love.

'Mary Eason writes stories from the heart that speaks to the reader. Every time I read one of her stories, my heart leaps with joy. The down-to-earth mature characters are so real; they feel as if they are my next door neighbors. This well-written tale has dialogue that moves at a great pace lifting the reader completely into the storyline. The ex-husband and secretary are a piece of cake, like most of the cheaters in this world who normally end up getting their comeuppance. Forty Something is wonderful and I loved the aunts. I found this outstanding tale enormously entertaining.'

When you start reading this book the twists in the plots will leave you as confused as 41-year-old pregnant divorcee Laney Winters feels … "bloodied, bruised and begging for a clue." But living up to the preliminary function of fiction this cathartic tale gives the reader hope that every cloud has a silver lining … and even the darkest night has a beautiful sunrise waiting to start off a beautiful day. Laney's second chance at life, love, and her career in her old hometown—a small town in Texas—is like that beautiful sunrise and a beautiful day.
Starting over at FORTY SOMETHING is not the end of the world and Laney and her family not to mention the "Doctor Handsome" of the tale, Jake Montgomery, all find a second chance in quiet Down, Texas. Unexpected, quirky, and mysterious family connections and hilarious antics of the eighty-something twins, Selma and Thelma add a wonderful dash of humor and touching emotions in this story of finding yourself just when you think there's nothing of value left in your life. A first class book from Mary Eason … don't miss it!!!

'I really enjoyed this book. I think the aspect of this book that I especially liked was the characters. The plot presents the heroine with real problems, but also shows us that Laney is stronger than she thinks she is. The secondary characters are well-rounded and interesting people, people whom one might run into in one’s own family. On the other hand, the author also presents us with some humorous flights of fancy, which relieve the down to earth seriousness of the primary plot. I particularly enjoyed the antics of Laney’s elderly aunts who seem like they would be really fun to know. For those who wonder, this is a sweet romance that has no graphic love scenes, but which is full of heart-warming love. If you are a fan of contemporary romances, you shouldn’t miss this one!'
