Women want him; men want to be like him. When a freak ski accident strips him of one of life's most basic needs--his sight--he struggles to accept the possibility that his blindness may be permanent. \u003cbr\u003eEnter psychologist Sara Hamilton, a woman who has known her own share of grief and loss and may just be the one person who can help Matt redefine his new world. Sara is every woman's woman--she's not a toothpick or a Cosmo girl, has never been prom queen, or dated the blond-haired god with the big white teeth. She's honest and decent and real...and lives on the perimeter, applauding her patients' successes, nursing them through their failures, but never acknowledging or accepting what she lacks in her own life. She's loved and lost once and has been so emotionally scarred, she's not willing to risk those feelings again. \u003cbr\u003eOf course, she's never met a man like Matt Brandon. As Matt and Sara explore the delicate balance between \"blind\" trust and hope, they will discover that sometimes you have to lose everything to find what you are truly looking for...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOT YOUR EVERYDAY HOUSEWIFE is Book Five of That Second Chance Series. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wise and humorous tale of living large after 40 as women finally make peace with themselves--wrinkles, blubber, neuroses, exes, and all.\u003cbr\u003eThree women embark on a month-long \"discovery\" journey and uncover quite a few tidbits along the way...one bottle of Clairol Midnight will not cover a full head of red hair, and never talk to men wearing polyester pants hiked up with a tan belt. But most of what they unearth is about themselves--who they are, what they really want, what they really don't want. The center of controversy is a Maid-for-You mixer, which symbolizes a boring, routine suburban life with no second chances--then along comes insight in the form of Tula Rae, a sixty-something salsa-dancing, Dalai Lama-quoting, four-time widow in Spandex and a gray braid who gives them a different perspective on life, love, do-overs, and the real reason a man buys his woman a Maid-for-You mixer, which she says is all about S-E-X.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE BUTTERFLY GARDEN is Book Six of That Second Chance Series. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes love happens when you least expect it...\u003cbr\u003eJenny Romano has never been a white-picket-fence, happily-ever-after girl.
