Shari's Secret

The one person Shari Bryer has never wanted to be like is her aunt Fanny, who takes her own bottle of Jack Daniels to the Dolphin Yacht Club. Although Shari has had her own struggles with alcoholism, she's worked hard for her sobriety.

However, while Shari's been focusing on her recovery, she's closed herself off from other parts of her life. There's no love left in her emotionally abusive relationship with her boyfriend, PJ. It took many years for her to reconcile with her mother, the troubled but wise Tzippy. Ever since Shari has let her mother go back to mothering her, she's known that something has to change. Her tumultuous relationship with Tzippy affected so many facets of her life, but now Shari needs to let go. She may desire something more, but PJ and the toxic secrets the couple have carried will not make it easy to walk away from the relationship.

As fifty-three-year-old Shari struggles to turn over a new leaf, she relies on her mother, sister, and brother for support. When the entire family deals with romantic entanglements, startling secrets, a surprise kidnapping, and more, Shari will realize the magic of second chances.
