Jumble Pie: A Novel

JUMBLE PIE is the story of the elusive nature of friendship, sometimes clinging, other times liberating; a story for any woman who has ever lied to her best friend just to make her feel better - and who has been brave enough to tell the truth, even when it hurts. And of course, it's a story about the remarkable healing power of pie. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"This was the first book I’ve read by Melanie Lynne Hauser and I absolutely loved it. The first chapter was a bit off and didn’t set well at first. It was chapter two that hooked me and I was reeled in to the story. In some parts, I found it a fun, fast read and other parts, it was serious and intense." -- J. Kaye's Book Blog …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"JUMBLE PIE is a strengthening story that will have you making plans for the weekend with your best friend." -- Estella's Revenge …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
AUTHOR NOTE -- I love this book; it was the book I wrote before CONFESSIONS OF SUPER MOM. When I sold SUPER MOM, my agent and I pulled JUMBLE PIE from submission to concentrate on the two-book deal. But JUMBLE PIE has a special place in our hearts, because it was the book she signed me for. (And because, I suspect, both of us saw a lot of ourselves in Emily, one of the two heroines!) I'm happy and proud to make it available to all you fabulous readers via Kindle. Enjoy - and please let me know what you think! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
