What can a bride do when her mother-in-law becomes The Other Woman?
Newly engaged, Ellie is thrilled to be accepted into the loving Cooper clan--which seems like the perfect family she never had--until she begins to realize that Dan's mom, Linda, is a little too involved. Dan and Linda talk on the phone every day. Twice a day. As Dan and Ellie's intimate civil wedding ceremony gets transformed into a black-tie affair, Ellie begins to wonder if it's possible to marry the man without marrying his mother.
As troubles mount, Ellie turns to her friends--glamorous Lisa, who always looks like she's just stepped off a runway, and wonderfully frazzled Trish--and tries to rediscover the independence she once had, and the man she still loves. But it seems that having a child and saving a marriage means growing up in ways she'd never imagined . . .
A warm, witty, and wise look at mothers-in-law and what they teach us about ourselves, The Other Woman is sure to please Jane Green's growing legion of fans.
