Publisher's Synopsis
Thea Chamberlin is at a crossroads in her life and she and her three children are in the process of rebuilding their lives. Depressed and emotionally scarred after the abduction of her daughter, and tainted by her association with a weak and alcoholic man, Thea receives an unexpected phone call with an offer she's hard-pressed to refuse. Jim Hudson has been in love with Thea ever since she moved to Melford Point, Maine twelve years ago. He has been sitting on the sidelines watching her life unfold and keeping his feelings to himself. Now that she is finally free, will he have enough courage to show his hand? MaryAnn Wilkinson comes into Thea's life through the children's mutual friendships. Thea knows nothing about MaryAnn, but suspects she has fallen on hard times. She reaches out to her, but they are interrupted before MaryAnn can reveal anything to Thea about her life. A Scary Kind of Honesty is about developing relationships and telling the truth, even though Thea, Jim and MaryAnn run the risk of losing those people closest to them. It is a parallel story of two women, their families, and how they each cope with their day-to-day lives. The novel is the sequel to Each Time We Say Goodbye and continues the saga of the Chamberlin family, with the addition of some interesting new characters. The third in the trilogy will be available sometime in 2014.
