"IN THE BEGINNING, there was the pie. The pie was without form and texture (and any manner of identifiable filling), and darkness was upon the face of the Home Ec Teacher…"
So begins the story of two girls, a friendship, and a pie. JUMBLE PIE, to be exact. A Home Ec project gone very wrong, except for the fact that it brings together two very different young girls and helps them form a friendship that lasts through bad haircuts, unrequited love, endless incarnations of Madonna, and their own evolving dreams... Until New Year's Eve, 1999, when another pie comes along, resulting in a pre-party blow-up that sets Juliet and Emily, women now, to remembering how it all got started.
Juliet and Emily are the heroines of my new free eBook, which I've decided to make available, as a thank you gift, to all the fans who have embraced CONFESSIONS OF SUPER MOM and SUPER MOM SAVES THE WORLD.
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.
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!) We still hope to see it published some day. But who wants to wait for "some day?!" Not me! So for a short time, I'm happy and proud to make it available to all you fabulous readers. Enjoy - and please let me know what you think!
