Jane's life is going to become even messier than she could imagine. She is already running her own vintage items shop in Coyote Canyon, taking care of her grandfather who is now slowly but surely challenged by dementia and her closest friends are moving along with their own lives getting married starting a family. In this small town, the pickings are slim, but online dating wasn’t worth the effort. Jane would love the connection and love that could be hers if she were to have a child. You don’t necessarily need a husband for that. All you require is a sperm donation.
Jane readily admits that she has always played by the rules. This is why her friends are all concerned when this levelheaded, caring person takes such a giant leap. Becoming a single parent by design. Big step. And her friends are very aware that Jane's plate is already full, in fact overflowing with her business and her grandfather.
Kurt is one of the Elway brothers. A few years younger than Jane. All the brothers are top-notch guys and Jane has been spending a lot of time with Kurt. Just as friends. Going out for a drink at the local spot. Playing pool with their friends. Jane had absolutely no sense that Kurt felt more than just friendship toward her. He had hidden it well since it was not reciprocated.
But Kurt could offer Jane the one thing she wanted, a baby. Supposedly no strings attached, well you know the phrase about best intentions. So in THE MESSY LIFE OF JANE TANNER, we watch her life get more complicated than ever. Hopefully, all’s well that ends well. Brenda Novak has included some of the best characters to be Jane's support. These characters have a lot of mess of their own to deal with and somehow poor Jane gets involved in that as well.
When your life is chaotic, what’s one more complication?
Jane Tanner’s friends are settling down, while she’s been settling for less. She longs for adventure and the big city, but caring for her ailing grandfather means she's shackled to her small town. She’s excited her vintage gift shop is finally up and running, but it’s not enough.
Longing to fulfill at least one dream—to become a mother before her biological clock ticks out—Jane drunkenly propositions the worst possible candidate for Dad. Kurt Elway is off-limits with a capital O. He’s a good friend, but he's too young, too busy running his family’s ranch. Plus, he and Jane’s sister, Kate, used to date. That kind of off-limits.
Unbeknownst to Jane, Kurt’s pining for her. When he’s fully on board to father her baby, she sees him in a new light. Then lingering baggage between Kate and Kurt suddenly surfaces and Jane is reminded of just how messy life is. But…so is parenting. Maybe it’s time to embrace the mess?
