What Jane Taught Me

"What Jane Taught Me" takes the reader into the mind of married, stay-at-home mom currently settled into the type of life she once avoided, but on her own terms. Surrounded by white houses, evening book clubs and well-kept lawns, she lives the good life, far removed from many of the issues a lot of women face. Her marriage is good and her children are healthy, but she harbors a secret that could easily cause her perfect life to crumble if she lets it, and this is just what Jane forces her to deal with.

Jane is a hardworking, stay-at-home mother of four with a husband who drinks like a sailor, swears like a trucker and beats her like a pro-wrestler. The fruit of a better time, the marriage is all but over when Jane makes the news for attempted spousal murder. Her story becomes the debate of the night for a weekly book club meeting filled with housewives flying their traps, but she never fades. Instead, Jane haunts the protagonist with a vengeance, and how she deals with this challenge to her white picket fence life will determine the future of her own marriage.
