    About this ebook

    Shaken by a nasty divorce, a woman transforms her life and finds two chances at love in this novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of Serendipity.

    Chin up. Emily Thorn faces the pain and heartache of love lost and years wasted. At forty, all she has to show for twenty years of marriage is a FedEx letter from her husband that begins “Dear Emily” —and ends their life together. She had put her own life on hold to pay Ian’s way through medical school. She believed him when he told her that one day she’d have everything she ever wanted—children, an education, a career of her own. What she got was overweight, out of shape—and dumped.

    Emily needs to reclaim her life. Slimming down and starting up a chain of fitness centers, she is soon skyrocketing toward entrepreneurial success . . . and into relationships with two exciting new men. One is kind and compassionate, the other unpredictable and alarmingly sensual. Now, to keep her hard-won independence and balance it with a truly fulfilling love, all she has to do is choose the right one . . .

    Praise for Dear Fern

    “Michaels shines at molding strength, weakness, guilt and pride into one sharply believable character—a woman who will appeal to first-time readers and devoted fans.” —Publishers Weekly

    “Michaels provides a variety of lively, sympathetic characters and turns a difficult subject into an intensely crafted and involving story about a complex, sometimes exasperating, never boring, archetypical pre-feminist woman. This one’s a prime read!” —RT Book Reviews

    Fern Michaels

    New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels has a passion for romance, often with a dash of suspense and drama. It stems from her other joys in life—her family, animals, and historic home. She is usually found in South Carolina, where she is either tapping out stories on her computer, rescuing or supporting animal organizations, or dabbling in some kind of historical restoration.

      This book had a very slow start. The only reason I actually kept reading it was because I absolutely love this author. I was glad that I did. The second half of the book picked up speed and I could no longer put it down.
    • 4/5
      Dear Emily is the story of a woman who made her life her husband and what happened when, predictably (at least in the fiction world), he leaves her high and dry. How she comes back to find herself and builds a world based on her own work and friendships. Not exactly an earthshaking piece of literature, but very readable and enjoyable, at least to me.
