Three Times a Charm — Jean Stone

Thanks to a high-profile wedding extravaganza for a media mogul, the wedding-planning business created by four longtime friends is really taking off. Not surprisingly, each of the friends is handling success in her own special way -- and one is about to get her very own, very special second chance. . . .

The irony of being a never-married wedding planner isn't lost on forty-three-year-old Sarah. But that doesn't mean the free-spirited single mom hasn't known love -- and, most recently, heartbreak. And while the butter- cream sweetness of wedding rituals strikes her as somewhat silly, work is a welcome distraction -- as are her friends-turned-colleagues: pragmatic Elaine, dramatic Lily, and newly in love Jo. Yet Sarah is about to get even more distracted by a visitor from her past, one who holds the key to a mystery that has shadowed her life. But to face the truth, she'll need a little help from her friends -- old and new.
