Newly engaged, Ellie is thrilled to be accepted into the loving Cooper clanβwhich seems like the perfect family she never hadβuntil she begins to realize that Danβs mom, Linda, is a little too involved. Dan and Linda talk on the phone every day. Twice a day. As Dan and Ellieβs intimate civil wedding ceremony gets transformed into a black-tie affair, Ellie begins to wonder if itβs possible to marry the man without marrying his mother.
As troubles mount, Ellie turns to her friendsβglamorous Lisa, who always looks like sheβs just stepped off a runway, and wonderfully frazzled Trishβand 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 sheβd 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 Greenβs growing legion of fans.
