Die drei Hauptgestalten haben sich beim Pilates in Nicoles Studio kennengelernt, sind enge Freundinnen und teilen Glück und Leid. Nicole, 30, mit kleinem Sohn, sorgt als selbstständige Unternehmerin zurzeit allein für den Familienunterhalt, da ihr Mann sich als Drehbuchautor verwirklichen will. Für Single Shannon, 40, steht die Karriere an erster Stelle. Sie lernt einen Mann kennen, mit dem ihr Traum von Liebe, Ehe und Kindern erfüllbar scheint. Pam, 50, hat drei erwachsene Kinder und mit dem Altern so ihre Probleme. Ihr Mann leitet eine Firma, sie kümmert sich um Familie und Hündchen. Ein Schicksalsschlag stellt alles infrage. Die Autorin verknüpft gekonnt das Leben der sympathischen Frauen, gibt jeder gleichberechtigt breiten Raum

"Zoe Saldivar is more than just single--she's alone. She recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend, she works from home and her best friend Jen is so obsessed with her baby that she has practically abandoned their friendship. The day Zoe accidentally traps herself in her attic with her hungry-looking cat, she realizes that it's up to her to stop living in isolation. Her seemingly empty life takes a sudden turn for the complicated--her first new friend is Jen's widowed mom, Pam. The only guy to give her butterflies in a very long time is Jen's brother. And meanwhile, Pam is being very deliberately seduced by Zoe's own smooth-as-tequila father. Pam's flustered, Jen's annoyed and Zoe is beginning to think "alone" doesn't sound so bad, after all."--Page [4] of cover.

The grass is always greener on your sister's side of the fence... Divorce left Harper Szymanski with a name no one can spell, a house she can't afford and a teenage daughter who's pulling away. With her fledgling virtual-assistant business, she's scrambling to maintain her overbearing mother's ridiculous Susie Homemaker standards and still pay the bills, thanks to clients like Lucas, the annoying playboy cop who claims he hangs around for Harper's fresh-baked cookies. Spending half her life in school hasn't prepared Dr. Stacey Bloom for her most daunting challenge--motherhood. She didn't inherit the nurturing gene like Harper and is in deep denial that a baby is coming. Worse, her mother will be horrified to learn that Stacey's husband plans to be a stay-at-home dad...assuming Stacey can first find the courage to tell Mom she's already six months pregnant. Separately they may be a mess, but together Harper and Stacey can survive anything--their indomitable mother, overwhelming maternity stores and ex's weddings. Sisters Like Us is a delightful look at sisters, mothers and daughters in today's fast-paced world, told with Susan Mallery's trademark warmth and humor. Don't miss The Summer Getaway by Susan Mallery where one woman discovers the beauty in chaos in a poignant and heartwarming story about the threads that hold family together.
