Trilogy About Three Women is Co-Authored by Three WomenIn an unusual approach to novel-writing, Nancy Anderson, Lael Littke and Carroll Morris each wrote from a single character’s point of view. Seamlessly knit together, their characters’ compelling stories have made the first two novels in the series Deseret Book bestsellers.
Surprise Packages (Deseret Book, $17.95, Softcover) begins fifteen years after Deenie, Juneau and Erin meet at Education Week at BYU. Deenie, now living in Gainesville, Florida, wonders if "a new where calls for a new who.". Juneau's feelings of guilt come to a head when a secret from her childhood resurfaces. And Erin takes a risk when she has a second chance for love—with surprising results.

Awesome, Candace -- thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this book right now, Candace, and wishing I'd read the other two first. Fascinating the way these characters draw the reader into their lives.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's free-and-easy contest time again on my blog. Come on over and take a peek. Another great book prize.
Thanks for your comments on the book. We appreciate all the input! This vitual tour thing is a whole new adventure for me. I'm learning--with lots of help from my daughter, Meridith--how to navigate these sites and leave comments. It's a blast. (If only it had a spell check I'd be so much happier.)
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy. No problem. I know your readers have been anxiously awaiting the release of this book. You have made thousands upon thousands of women very happy.
