Description


Sometimes rock bottom is just the beginning...

Jill thought digging through the freezer for a 40-pound turkey was her breaking point. Her husband Nate’s obsession with hosting the "biggest Thanksgiving ever" has left her cold—literally—and questioning everything about their marriage. But when Nate ends up in the hospital after a turkey-related mishap, and Jill is downsized from her job, things go from bad to worse.

Enter Jaynie—Jill’s fabulously wealthy, slightly unhinged friend who writes a fluffy advice column for the local paper. When Jaynie ditches town for a ski trip, she hands the reins to Jill. But what begins as a temporary favor turns into something bigger when Jill starts adding her own honest, heartfelt take on life, love, and all the chaos in between. The column explodes in popularity—and so does Jill’s confidence.

Meanwhile, from his hospital bed, Nate begins reading the column—and the letters pouring in. To Jill’s surprise, he offers thoughtful, compassionate insights that show a depth she thought had long vanished. As the two reconnect through the advice of strangers, Jill begins to see the man she once fell in love with... and maybe something even better.

Warm, witty, and refreshingly real, Dear Jaynie is a story about second chances, finding your voice, and discovering that love can grow in the most unexpected places
