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.
