I loved this book, but I'm so sad that this series has come to an end. This series is about three really close friends who have known each other since grade school. And even though they all moved away to different parts of the country when they were only fifteen, they managed to stay in touch with one another. I loved the little town, the sincere camaraderie between the three friends, and finally----the courage it took for the three of them... to pull themselves back from the horrible things they had gone through in the past.
Book #1 "In Shining Whatever" deals with Fancy---Fancy had moved to Florida when her mother fell in love and married a man in the military. But when her grandmother fell and broke her hip, Fancy moved back to help take care of her and ended up staying after her grandmother's sudden death..
Book #2 "A Forever Thing" deals with Kate. Her family moved to Louisiana, where her father had taken a job offer as foreman of a cotton plantation. Kate had went to college and earn a degree in Criminal justice. She first became a police officer, but quickly made her way up the ranks to detective. But after a major case, she felt burnt out and needed a change. She moved back to the town she grew up in and became a small town cop.
Now on to this book, which happens to be the last book in this series....
"Life After Wife" is #3 in the series. It deals with Sophie. Her family moved away to the panhandle of Texas, when her father took a job on an oil rig. She was married a lying, cheating , no good preacher man. She had decided to divorce the lying cheating scum, but before she had a chance to do that...he'd died in a plane crash. The only good thing she got out of that marriage was a humungous life insurance policy worth millions and millions. Her aunt Maud came to her husbands funeral and when Sophie told her what had been going on, her Aunt Maud had convinced her to pack her things up and move back home on the ranch with her. Sophie has picked herself back up by the boot straps with the help from her Aunt Maud. Her Aunt is a tough old rancher who runs the ranch as well as any man ever could, and she teaches Sophie she can be just as tough if she's willing to learn, which she does in record time. When Sophie learns her Aunt Maud is dying of cancer, Sophie was thrown for a loop. After her death, Sophie learns her Aunt Maud has left her half of the ranch, the other half is left to Jesse' (Maud's deceased husband) great-nephew...Elijah Jones.
He might be good looking, but the last thing Sophie wants is to get involved with another man, especially after the horrible marriage she already went through. No...her focus is solely on running the ranch, and trying to find a way to rid herself of this macho man.
Too bad she didn't realize what a stubborn man she was up against. He's as strong willed and stubborn as this red headed terror, and she was about to find that out real quick. Elijah wasn't about to give up the ranch for any amount of money.
Aunt Maud may be dead and buried six foot under, but that didn't mean she wasn't still doing her part in the matchmaking.
These two fight like cats and dogs, and it becomes so hilarious.
Would I recommend this book? You better believe I would, I'm just so sad to see it end. It's like losing part of your family and friends.
