#ReadThis #SomeoneElsesLoveStory by #JoshilynJackson

Previously on Whom You Know, Joshilyn Jackson has been lauded for

Recently:

MOTHER MAY I

and in 2019:

NEVER HAVE I EVER

Those are both thrillers, and this one has a much slower style. In fact, if we didn't know better we might not believe they were written by the same person! We think her evolution to talented thriller writer is fascinating. This is like a waltz compared to that dance music above.

What is usual is that she gets us immediately at the beginning: "I fell in love with William Ashe at gunpoint.." Surely this has not happened to you. Yet. Not even in Manhattan with our non-mayor not supporting the police. Without a doubt, the most charming character is Natty who really reminds us all of the little boy in Jerry Maguire.

We like how she turns a few minutes of the pivotal incident into so many pages with detail: a mark of a great imagination. Her naming is incredibly creative from Moosetard to riding Space Mountain (but not really!).

Miracles and destinies collide in this poignant and spellbinding novel about love, loss, and the human condition, from the New York Times bestselling author of gods in Alabama and A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty.

SOMEONE ELSE’S LOVE STORY is a funny, charming, and poignant novel about science and miracles, secrets and truths, faith and forgiveness; about a virgin birth, a sacrifice, and a resurrection; about falling in love, and learning that things aren’t always as they seem––or what we hope they will be. It’s a novel about discovering what we want and ultimately finding what we need. The novel is so accessible, yet with such complex themes of loss, love, and human connection, it’s almost difficult to tell how Jackson pulled it all off so effortlessly. And now, the #1 Indie Next Pick of December 2013 is available in trade paperback.

Quick take on the plot: For single mom Shandi Pierce, life is a juggling act. She’s finished college, raising precocious three-year-old Natty, and keeping the peace between her eternally warring, long-divorced parents. Then she gets caught in the middle of a stickup at a gas station and falls instantly in love with William Ashe, when he steps between the armed robber and her son. Shandi doesn’t know that William’s act wasn’t about bravery. When he looked down the barrel of the robber’s gun he believed it was destiny: it’s been exactly one year since a tragic act of physics shattered his universe. But William doesn’t define destiny the way other people do—to him destiny is about choice. Now William and Shandi are about to meet their so-called destinies head-on, making choices that will reveal unexpected truths about love, life, and the world they think they know.

Joshilyn Jackson is the New York Times bestselling author of six novels, including gods in Alabama and A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty. Her books have been translated into a dozen languages. A former actor, Jackson is also an award-winning audiobook narrator. She lives in Decatur, Georgia, with her husband and their two children. www.JoshilynJackson.com

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
