A familiar tale with a brand-new
twist. Forty-eight-year-old Jennifer
Barnes, mother of triplets and grandmother to twins, never expected the news
she receives at a routine doctor’s appointment. Jennifer has a terminal brain
tumor and only six weeks to live. She also learns that blood tests from the
previous year showed a high concentration of lead, but Jennifer is positive she
was never told. Who wants her dead bad
enough to deliberately poison her?
The prime suspect is her husband
Jake, who asked for a divorce two earlier, a divorce Jennifer is not willing to
grant. Jennifer’s three daughters can’t believe their father is responsible for
the poisoning and their doubts lead Jennifer to question what she knows is
true. Someone wants her dead and she wants to know who.
McKenzie does a great job developing
her characters, with chapters devoted to Jennifer and each of the girls. All
four women are flawed so be prepared not be real fond of any of them.
What would you do if told you had
only six weeks to live?
