The author of Sisters of the Sari presents a richly emotional journey of two women drawn together by an unexpected and unwanted bond... Lesley McCoy works in a day-care center, and she is planning to start a family of her own. Her husband, David, is a homebody whose job as a wilderness guide takes him away for long periods-but when he's home, he's the best partner Lesley could imagine. Kendra McCoy is a successful businesswoman whose husband, Eric, is an analyst who specializes in Middle Eastern politics. He supports her enthusiasm and drive to succeed, and is the perfect partner-when he's home between assignments. While trying to identify a man who collapses in a Portland, Oregon, coffee shop, two wallets are found- one belonging to David McCoy, the other to Eric McCoy. Devastated by their comatose husband's betrayal, Kendra and Lesley reluctantly join forces in an attempt to piece together a true picture of the man they both fell in love with.Instead, they uncover a vast web of deceit as they learn their husband lived a third life neither of them suspected.
Born in Toronto, Brenda L. Baker spent her working life writing computer programs in Canada, the United States and the Netherlands. Her passion is exploring new cultures, with knitting and reading tied for second place. She likes cats, but resists owning one herself, since everyone knows little old ladies can't just stop at one.
