Same Topic, Different Book
It’s amazing when a writer realizes that in a different situation, in another part of the world, another writer was writing her own version of the book she was writing.
At about the same time I was writing “The Passion Thief” on the East Coast, Patricia Mann was hard at work in California on the next book of her series. Below is the description of “Is This All I Want?”
Four difficult months have passed since Beth’s husband Rick discovered her affair with a former student. The couple has worked hard in therapy to salvage their marriage and understand their roles in everything that happened. Things are looking up until Dave reappears, awakening Beth’s fantasies of what could have been had she taken their affair to the next level. Now that she is faced with another opportunity, Beth battles an even more impossible dilemma than the first time she was caught in Dave’s web.
Amidst the trouble in her marriage and pressure to shield her children from the discord, Beth is also called upon to help her two best friends, both with serious problems of their own. The stress sparks temptation to seek comfort in her favorite vices. But she knows she can’t hide if she wants to save what matters most. The question is, what does she want?
