Publisher Description
"Back in college, Jane Lewis would have given anything to be like homecoming queen Connie Bryan. Instead she was just Plain Jane - overweight, frumpy, and painfully shy. That was then. Today, a lovely and confident Dr. Jane Lewis has a thriving psychotherapy practice, her own radio talk show, a beautiful old Louisiana mansion, and her affectionate, nutty dog, Olive, to keep her company. The only thing missing is someone to share her life. Jane has never forgotten Michael Sorenson, the boy she'd admired from afar in college. Now he's inspiring her to hope for a future together. She's also never forgotten the brutal, unsolved attack that ended Connie Bryan's life - and haunts Jane still. Suddenly the present collides with the past as she finds clues into the identities of Connie's attackers - clues that send her into a world of risk and excitement, challenging her to become a truly extraordinary woman...if she dares."

"This was an awesome book. Even though the main character believes she is plain, she's a special lady. She has a heart of gold, and those that know her well, know she's a wonderful person. In reading this, it makes you wonder why we as a society feel it is so important to be beautiful, have a hourglass figure, and money. Yes, money makes living life easier. Beng beautiful and having ahourglass figure makes others the envy of you, but is that more important than the beauty inside each and every one of us? Jane discovers that there is moe to life than those three things."

" It was a good book as far as "quick reads" go. At times the plot got a little more far fetched than the plot could support and the writing style remained fairly simple throughout. "

" This book is well written. I enjoyed it very much. It's not deep, but very entertaining. The author keeps it exciting by playing up the mystery and risk that the main character is taking. I recommend it as a relaxing read. :) "

" It was a really good read. No matter how much time has passed, the truth and justice can stil be found. True to life characters in this book. Plain Jane wasn't so plain afterall. And she was also really smart! Love it! "

" It was ok, but not one of my favorites. I thought the ghosts/spirits part of it was kind of silly. Overall, not a lot of plot to it really. "

" We were really enjoying this on the cd player but when we got about 3/4 of the way through it, Jane turned into a stupid twit and I was just yelling at the radio for her to knock it off. I can't even begin to think why she became to stupid. She was just annoying so don't read this one, "

" I couldn't even finish it. The paranormal part was stupid, the romance between the main character and her high school crush was unrealistic, even the secondary characters were far fetched. I really did try to read the whole thing but lost all interest about half way through and just put it down. "
