Newly engaged, Ellie is thrilled to be accepted into the loving Cooper clanโwhich seems like the perfect family she never hadโuntil she begins to realize that Danโs mom, Linda, is a little too involved. Dan and Linda talk on the phone every day. Twice a day. As Dan and Ellieโs intimate civil wedding ceremony gets transformed into a black-tie affair, Ellie begins to wonder if itโs possible to marry the man without marrying his mother.
As troubles mount, Ellie turns to her friendsโglamorous Lisa, who always looks like sheโs just stepped off a runway, and wonderfully frazzled Trishโand 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 sheโd 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 Greenโs growing legion of fans.
