THE WIDOWS' PACT by J.L. Cole - Review & Giveaway

 

Lena's in her twenties, Evelyn her seventies. What could they possibly have in common? In J.L. Cole's new novel THE WIDOWS' PACT, there's nothing like two people being depressed and having experienced trauma to bring them together. Lena and Evelyn see each other regularly on Cheap Tuesdays at the local theatre, but haven't connected, until one 
Tuesday they do.

Working at a job she hates, drinking wine and looking forward to Cheap Tuesdays keeps Lena from falling into a deeper depression. Dying, failing health and grandkids are all Evelyn talks about with her friends. They're a perfect couple to become friends. Their friendship takes time to evolve, but once it begins, they are the other's best cheerleader. But one of them has a secret and the other a troubled past, which each will have to deal with.

THE WIDOW'S  PACT is about second chances, friendship, trust and finding the humor in ... well, everything.

Jenna Hanger, writing as J.L. Cole, resides on a ranch in Alberta with her husband and two young daughters. Her debut novel, Silver Heights, was awarded the 2020 Maxy Romance Runner-Up award. She also has been published in Dreamers Creative Writing magazine and works as an Editor and Writer for a non-profit organization.
