THE GIRLS OF MISCHIEF BAY

Three friends support each other as life throws some unexpected curves their way.

Nicole’s Mischief Bay Pilates studio is growing every year, and it’s a good thing, since her husband just up and quit his secure computer job to write a screenplay. Since he’s barely around for their 5-year-old son, hardly helps out in the house and is living off her income, Nicole has discovered that two clients-turned-friends are suddenly emotional rocks she’s depending on more than she should but is still very grateful to have. Shannon is the successful professional who’s sacrificed a romantic life for her career, while Pam is the happily married yet slightly restless homemaker who's trying to bring a little zing back to her marriage. Suddenly, without planning it, all three women are at crossroads. Shannon has just met a new man who may tempt her to change her workaholic ways; Nicole’s husband may actually be on the brink of life-changing success; and Pam will face tragedy that her solid marriage can’t help her through. So for each woman, this new set of friends becomes a lifeline as she navigates unexpected terrain on her life journey. Romance superstar Mallery begins a new women’s fiction series with a novel that is both heart-wrenching and warmhearted, and readers will likely find the trials and tribulations of Nicole, Shannon and Pam accessible and thought-provoking.

A discerning, affecting look at three women facing surprising change and the powerful and uplifting impact of friends.
