As she enters the slipstream of post-divorce romance and is befriended by the town queen bee, Dana finds that the tension between being true to yourself and being liked doesn't end in middle school...and that sometimes it takes a real friend to help you embrace adulthood in all its flawed complexity."--from cover p. 4.
"Dana Stellgarten war eigentlich ihr Leben lang die Nettigkeit in Person. Doch langsam ist sogar für sie eine Schmerzgrenze erreicht. Nach ihrer Scheidung ist das Geld knapp, ihre beiden Kinder leiden unter dem Weggang des Vaters, und jetzt soll sie sich auch noch um ihre pubertierende Nichte kümmern. Dana tut ihr Bestes, um allen gerecht zu werden - doch was ist eigentlich mit ihr selbst? Etwas ungeübt begibt sie sich auf Partnersuche, findet einen Job und wird in einen illustren Freundeskreis aufgenommen. Doch Zweifel nagen an ihr: Bin ich gut genug für meine neuen Freunde? Schön genug für einen Mann? Perfekt genug als Mutter? Alle Unsicherheiten ihrer Teenagerzeit sind wieder da. Doch langsam lernt Dana, ihre Stärken zu erkennen, ihre Schwächen zu akzeptieren und sich sogar auf ein neues Glück einzulassen ... Juliette Fay wurde 1963 in Binghamton, New York, geboren. Sie hat am Boston College und in Harvard studiert, arbeitete unter anderem für ein Obdachlosenheim und unterrichtete an einer Schule für autistische Kinder. Sie lebt mit ihrem Mann und ihren vier Kindern in Massachusetts. 'Der Sommer auf der Veranda' ist ihr erster Roman. Ein zweiter ist bereits in Vorbereitung."
