Praise for the Brennan Sisters Trilogy
by Jane Porter
“Porter excels
at creating richly layered, realistically complex characters, and [The Good Woman]
deftly
explores the glue that can hold a marriage together and the strong ties that
connect
mothers,
daughters, sisters and friends.”
—The Chicago Tribune
“[The Good Daughter] delivers a strong
story and a compelling emotional punch that surpasses the first… Porter pulls
the reader into the very heart of this close-knit family, examining intense
feelings and life-altering decisions without backing away.”
—RT Book Reviews
“[The Good Wife is] believable, insightful
and marked by witty dialogue. A novel that may inspire readers to examine
their own family relationships.”
—Kirkus

THE
GOOD WOMAN
(Berkley Trade Paperback Original;
978-0-425-25300-7; September 4, 2012; $15)
Meg Roberts is the eldest of the Brennan
sisters and she is used to being in control and presenting an image of
perfection to those around her.
But Meg’s life isn’t perfect and lately it’s been feeling out of control
as well. As she approaches 43 and
reflects on her 17 years of marriage, Meg realizes she wants more out of
life. More love, more passion,
more something. She embarks on an affair that shatters
her world and her family relationships.
Meg is forced to come to terms with the person she was, and who she has
become, as well as learning that happiness isn’t something she has to chase,
but rather a choice she must make for herself.
THE
GOOD DAUGHTER
(Berkley Trade Paperback Original; 978-0-425-25342-7;
February 5, 2013; $15)
Kit Brennan has played it safe her entire life, but as a single thirty-eight year old English teacher at a Catholic high school in Oakland, her life hasn’t turned out as she planned. Her ten-year relationship ended six months ago and Kit has now come to the realization that she may be better off pursuing her dreams without a man involved. But when the mysterious, dangerous Jude Knight enters the picture, Kit begins to question who she’s become and who she should be. Does she dare to follow her desires? With one of her teenage students in crisis and her family’s burdens weighing heavily on her mind and heart, is Kit ready to risk everything by taking a chance at the unknown?
THE
GOOD WIFE
(Berkley Trade Paperback Original;
978-0-425-25367-0; September 3, 2013; $15)
Sarah’s love for her husband, professional
baseball player Boone Walker, is bottomless—so much so that her sisters say it
will end up hurting her. While
Sarah stays home and cares for their two children, Boone travels almost
year-round. Living apart most of
the time makes life difficult, especially since Sarah often wonders whether
Boone is sharing his bed with other women on the road, even though he swears
he’s been true to her since his infidelity three years ago. Now, with Boone facing yet another
career change, tension rises between the two, and the emotionally exhausted
Sarah must choose whether to break free from the past and forgive Boone
completely, or leave him behind and start anew.
