The Blurb…

Life looks good in the storybook town of Oakville. People bike, walk their dogs, and enjoy beautifully-manicured lives with their families. A perfect balance between urban and country living, people flock to this neighborhood where every house has treed backyard and walkability to the picturesque downtown.

Jessie, Marissa, Tig and Anna find themselves living on Sunset Street with their families in tow. On the outside, they lead similar lives: trying to balance work, home, family, and keeping up appearances. But when an accident during the annual summer block party causes a minor tragedy, the veneer begins to crack. Friendships are threatened as masks come off, and the polite peace that reigns over the neighborhood is disrupted when the truths that lie behind closed doors are revealed.

Witty and authentic, “The Wives of Sunset” reveals a slice of the American experience in 2019. As the four women struggle to meet the astronomical expectations of a “perfect American life,” they expose the deep fault lines just beneath the surface. “The Wives of Sunset” is a story of friendship and cultures, of confronting the truth and letting it bind, rather divide us.

“The Wives of Sunset” will be published for free in serial form on this blog. Please watch for my first published novel “A Ripple of Stones,” soon to be available wherever you buy your books.

“The Wives of Sunset” is a work of fiction. None of the characters are based on actual people, and any resemblance is purely coincidental.
