Right in the middle of the mother-in-law's 65th birthday party, Katelyn
Pratt gets a nasty surprise from her successful husband, Don: a decree
for divorce, as well as a notice that her vain and narcissistic mother-in-
law, Shirley Pratt, must move out of their house and into another
apartment in a retirement community where she will be alone. Feeling
out of sorts and reeling from shock, Katelyn decides to travel back to
her childhood home with an unexpected passenger: her future-EX-
mother-in-law.
While on the road and in Katelyn's small hometown, the two encounter
life-changing circumstances that will force them to rethink their values
and even awakens long-forgotten passions. Katelyn and Shirley, as well
as other characters, have to acknowledge that sometimes the only
things preventing their growth are images of how things should be in
their lives.
THE FUTURE SHE LEFT BEHIND!
For a memorable and quirky read set in a small town, THE FUTURE SHE
LEFT BEHIND by Marin Thomas will be right up your alley.
One woman's journey home gets derailed by her soon-to-be
ex-mother-in-law in a novel filled with humor, small-town
charm, rekindled love, and the resilient ties of family.
Cast aside by her cheating husband, Katelyn Chandler is
ready to pack it all in and drive home to Little Springs,
Texas. She wants a chance to regroup, reconnect with her
mother, and get back to her art.
But Shirley Pratt—master manipulator, elitist snob, and
Katelyn's terror of a live-in monster-in-law—has other
ideas. Shirley insists on joining Katelyn's trip after her
son tries to pack her off to a retirement community. Katelyn
has no choice but to play peacekeeper between the ornery old
woman and the proud matrons of Little Springs. Yet the small
town seems to be changing Shirley. And as Katelyn weighs the
wisdom of picking up where she left off with Jackson
Mendoza, the town bad boy and her high school sweetheart,
she must find a way to believe in the strength of her dreams.
