ABOUT THE BOOK

Ariel Baxter has just moved into the neighborhood of her dreams. The chaos of domestic life and the loneliness of motherhood, however, moved with her. Then she meets her neighbor, Justine Miller. Justine ushers Ariel into a world of clutter-free houses, fresh-baked bread, homemade crafts, neighborhood play dates, and organization techniques designed to make marriage better and parenting manageable.

Soon Ariel realizes there is hope for peace, friendship, and clean kitchen counters. But when rumors start to circulate about Justine’s real home life, Ariel must choose whether to believe the best about the friend she admires or consider the possibility that “perfection” isn’t always what it seems to be.

MY THOUGHTS:
I really enjoyed this book.  How many times have you seen a family and thought that they were the perfect family, or wondered why you couldn't have your family life under control like someone else seems to?  Well, this book spells it out clearly that things quite often are not what they appear to be.  It was fun reading along and watching the drama unfold as Ariel learns some important truths.  This is a story about friendship, love and about being true to yourself.
