Kristin Billerbeck has made me laugh, cry and sigh. I didn't get the "back to life" in time to read it for review, but I've read enough of Kristin's other novels to know I'm going to find a lot to like. Here is the book premise and a link to read chapter one. And then go here to visit Kristin's site, click on the book cover to go to Amazon, and here to see her trail at Scrambled Dregs. (Scroll down, there's lots to look at.)
About the book:
Lindsey realized when she married Ron, a man 17 years her senior, that the odds were he’d see heaven before her, but she never expected to be a widow at 35. There’s too much of life left for her to just sit around in mourning. But she can’t seem to kick start the rest of her life.
That is until she gets some help from Ron’s first wife, Jane, who shows up unexpectedly at her door one day as the executor of her husband’s estate. Jane is everything Lindsey’s not… independent, stubborn… and a lot older. Plus she has one surprise after another… including a son named Ron Jr. (she insists he’s not “really” Ron’s son). But an unlikely friendship develops as each woman begins to reevaluate what is really important, and owns up to the mistakes they’ve made in the past.
Told in the alternating voices of Jane and Lindsey, and with the return of many of the witty characters of The Trophy Wives Club, this book is a lighthearted, relatable read for when life goes in a direction you never planned. With faith and friends, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.

Hey Kelley! The timing of this book's arrival and Labor Day weekend is the ONLY reason I got this one read at all! It was a cute read, but just not my favorite style. Granted the husband was dead, but the budding relationship that followed....EWWWWWW!!! Too much soap opera.
