Husbands and Lies - Softcover
There are some people you'd do anything for...
For Fran that list would include her husband, Max, her daughter, and her best friend, Alison. Only Alison is now desperately ill and she needs Fran's help. She wants to find her husband a new wife, and leave her young daughter with a new mother. Fran finds the whole idea deeply uncomfortable, but it's hard to refuse your closest friend at the best of times, let alone ignore her dying wishes.
So Fran reluctantly logs on to an internet dating site, where she stumbles across a startlingly familiar profile. 'Footloose' describes himself as divorced, but his photo looks exactly like Fran's husband, Max. What's a wife to do when she suspects her husband's cheating and can't bear to confront him outright? Posing as 'Sassy', Fran sends a reply to 'Footloose' and sets out to date her own husband... But this increasingly crazy plan leads Max to start to have doubts of his own.
Torn between suspicion and love, life for Fran just got very complicated - can her marriage survive?

Review:
'The depiction of the friendship between the two women at a time of crisis in their lives is realistic and moving.'
From the Author:
When I wrote Husbands and Lies, I tried to tell a story that people would want to read - something with a bit of substance that explored some tough issues in a way that didn't leave you wanting to slash your wrists. I find humour is often the key to coping with the challenges that life throws at us, and it was important for me to make that an integral part of my writing.
I lost a close friend to cancer in 2002. Telling Fran's story helped me explore my feelings about what happened to my friend and in some degree to come to terms with it.
