Two Books by Isabel Sharpe
AS GOOD AS IT GOT
Ann Redding has taken every lousy thing life has thrown at her and handled it very well, thank you very much. All she wants is to get her life back on track…but that won’t happen till she makes her worried family and friends back off by spending two weeks at Camp Kinsonu, a retreat for suddenly single women. Now she’s stuck sitting around a campfire, singing “I Am Woman” with a bunch of sandal-clad, makeup-boycotting women. If she doesn’t get out of there soon, they’ll be sizing her for Birkenstocks.
Kinsonu, an idyllic retreat on the coast of Maine, is supposed to be a place for new hope and new beginnings. But Ann doesn’t belong in an estrogen Eden, she belongs in a corporate boardroom. Still, the camp has its compensations—she’s grudgingly befriended some other “inmates,” including Cindy, who honestly believes she’s just killing time till her serial-cheating husband comes crawling back. And Martha, shy, overweight, and mysteriously silent about the man she’s there to get over.
Maybe it was fate that brought them together at Camp Kinsonu, maybe just bad luck. But three strangers are about to bond on an adventure they didn’t ask for—and discover that lives they thought were as good as it got could suddenly get a lot better.
WOMEN ON THE EDGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKTHROUGHWelcome to Kettle, Wisconsin, a town where everyone knows nothing bad ever happens.
Enter Lorelei Taylor—notorious, glamorous, and hot off a not-guilty murder verdict that stunned the nation. To the women of Kettle, bad things seem suddenly inevitable . . .
Sarah Gilchrist—A perfect house and garden can’t quite make up for a marriage that’s a wreck. Sarah is determined to rise above her opinion of Kettle’s dreadful newcomer and give her a perfect welcome. But in the face of Lorelei’s outrageous provocations, Sarah’s control starts to unravel.
Erin Hall—What her husband does to her behind closed doors stays hidden. But Lorelei’s acquittal gives Erin hope for the first time. Convinced Lorelei did kill her abusive lover . . . and got away with it, Erin thinks she may have some power after all.
Lorelei Taylor—In Lorelei’s eyes, peaceful, heavenly Kettle could not look any more like hell. She vows to shake up the town—smug, priggish Sarah; mousy, downtrodden Erin; and while she’s at it, her widowed neighbor, Mike. Except the harder she shakes, the more the shake-up is happening to her.
Sometimes the only thing women on the edge need . . . is a push.
