I am the Other Wife

Inspired by one of the most transformative and tumultuous chapters of my own life, I am the Other Wife is a work of fiction rooted in emotional truth.

Some stories begin with a kiss.

This one began with a friendship.

For more than twenty-five years, Macie and Jodi have been each other's safe place—the person you call when life falls apart and the one who always answers.

When Macie's second marriage ends, she packs what little she has left and starts over in Colorado with Jodi and her husband, Micah, believing she's simply accepting a friend's kindness.

She couldn't have been more wrong.

As old loyalties deepen into unexpected love, the three of them are forced to confront impossible questions. Can friendship survive desire? Can love grow without taking something away from someone else? And can a family built outside convention withstand a world determined not to understand it?

Tender, deeply emotional, and ultimately hopeful, I am the Other Wife is a novel about grief, second chances, motherhood, forgiveness, and the extraordinary courage it takes to build a life that looks nothing like the one you imagined.

This isn't a story about breaking the rules. It's about discovering that sometimes the greatest act of love is having the courage to write your own.
