Underachieving, bored, and despondent housewife, Barbie Anderson approached that fateful Thursday much as she had the other 8,395 days of her marriage. However, on that morning, one phone call begins a sequence of events that turns her mundane existence into chaos. She struggles to come to terms with the disclosure of shocking family secrets while trying to save her loveless marriage.
Her attempts to return to normalcy are hindered by a sizeable inheritance, her self-esteem issues, an estranged daughter, and a self-centered husband. When a handsome stranger enters the fray, Barbie finds herself embarking on the ride of her life down Route 66 and on the road to self discovery.
In The Ride, author Jane Sutton has created a character that forces emotion from
you as you laugh, cry, feel empathy, and anger as Barbie searches for her identity and discovers that life is one fantastic ride.
Prior to embracing the role of author, Jane Sutton considered herself a ‘professional tourist’ as she moved around the globe. Living in and exploring Taiwan, South Korea, England, the Netherlands, Italy and Saudi Arabia while visiting many other countries proved, to her, to be the perfect opportunity to study the commonalities of human nature.
Now, a full-time resident of Fort Myers, Fl, Jane concentrates on writing fiction. She is a member of the Florida Writers Association and the Gulf Coast Writers
Association.
