Weiblich, verheiratet, unsichtbar. Dass sich kaum noch jemand nach ihr umdreht, seit sie die Fünfzig überschritten hat, daran hat Clover Hobart sich gewöhnt. Aber eines Morgens wacht sie auf, blickt in den Spiegel und sieht: nichts. Auch wenn die Unsichtbarkeit durchaus gewisse Vorteile hat - gesund kann das nicht sein! Natürlich kann Clover die Sache nicht einfach auf sich beruhen lassen, schließlich schlägt in ihr auch nach den Jahren des Hausfrauendaseins das Herz einer investigativen Journalistin. Und bald erkennt sie, dass sie nicht allein ist. Es gibt noch mehr Frauen, die plötzlich einfach verschwinden. Und das, was Clover und ihre neuen Freundinnen herausfinden, stellt jede Midlife-Crisis in den Schatten.

A heartwarming, feelgood family romance from the author of JULIE AND ROMEO. 'This is the story of how my life was saved by cake...' Feisty middle-aged housewife Ruth Hopson's life comes crashing down around her when her hospital administrator husband is made redundant. As the family's financial problems begin to mount, Ruth must also cope with her sulky teenage daughter and warring elderly parents. As she tries to keep the peace in this eccentric, disfunctional household, Ruth's only solace comes from baking cakes. But what begins as a distraction and grows into an obsession just might provide an ingenious solution to the family's dilemmas.

The sequel brings back beloved characters from "Julie and Romeo," exploring their vibrant relationships and the dynamics within their lively families.

Caroline and Tom are looking forward to retirement. He's been practicing law, she's been running a dance studio, and together they've raised four great kids. It's time to enjoy the fruits of their labor...Suddenly, though, their empty nest is filling up. Caroline's sister arrives with a load of luggage, a bad-tempered terrier, and a broken heart. A contractor finds cracks in the foundation, and sets up camp indefinitely. And their daughter Kay brings home her fiance, the richest boy in Raleigh--and plans a high-society wedding that could wipe out their savings. Filled with the warmth and wit that delighted readers of Julie and Romeo, this tale of a family caught in a whirlwind of change reminds us that life is what happens while we're making other plans--and that having loved ones along for the ride is the greatest blessing of all.
