Eliza Starts A Rumor

Four women, one tiny lie, and the big repercussions that unite them all in this charming, page-turning novel from the author of Nine Women, One Dress

Melissa Hunt is the proud creator of The Hudson Valley Ladies' Bulletin Board. When she first came up with the concept, fifteen years earlier, she was happily entrenched in her suburban life with her husband and twin pre-schoolers in the idyllic region north of New York City. Now, with an empty nest and a crippling case of agoraphobia, it's become her lifeline. So when a salacious rival parenting forum threatens the site's existence, she doesn't think twice before airing some fabricated dirty laundry to liven things up.

Things get lively all right.

Across town, Melissa's anonymous post sends new mom Olivia York into a tailspin as she's certain it's about her marriage; Allison Le, a big city lawyer, has always had the answers until now, and vows to help Olivia find the truth, only to discover more questions of her own; and Amanda Cole, Melissa's childhood friend, may just hold the key to unearthing exactly why Melissa can't step out her front door.

At turns funny, romantic, raw, and hopeful comes a story of being a woman and of the healing power of sisterhood.
