‘Just Marred Again’
By: Charlotte Hughes
What a little powerhouse of a story. This book was a breath of fresh air for me as
two about to be divorcees happen upon one another along with a thirteen year
old teenager in a remote cabin in the hills of North Carolina in the middle of
a winter snow storm. Now did they just
happen to be at the same place, same time, or did fate step in and take control
of a mistake waiting to happen? Big
question…

prestigious law firm Smyth -McGraw in Charlotte, NC, is all about his job,
getting ahead, providing a good life for his young wife, his ultimate goal to
make partner in the law firm. Working seventy
and eighty hour weeks, he makes the ultimate mistake of leaving his young wife
at home by herself, casting her aside leaving her alone to her own devices.

with her husband but the marriage is falling apart. She eats alone, wakes up alone and goes to
bed alone her husband totally ignoring

better than the lonely existence she's endured for the last five years of her marriage. She takes some much needed
time off over the Thanksgiving holiday and decides to spend some time at a

I loved this little story, it’s not real long but the characters have depth
and will grab you from the first page as the author regales a humorous tale of
two lovers that have lost their way. The story line moves well, it’s easy to
follow and the editing is great. There's a little deception, clean humor, and in the mix of hopes and dreams you have a very perceptive teenager. It’s a
refreshing clean read, very little sex in the story but just enough that you’ll feel
the love radiating from the characters.
I highly recommend this book and will promote it as much as possible on
my own sites.
