the Comfort of Lies by Randy Susan Meyers FIC Mey

      
 This is the story of three women whose lives began to intertwine five years before.  Tia was young and hopelessly in love with Nathan.  When she became pregnant she was sure things would work out for them.  One little problem.  Nathan was a married professor with a wife and two boys and he wasn't going to leave them.  Tia gave the baby up for adoption. 
      Caroline is passionate about her career as a research doctor.  She and her husband weren't able to conceive.  Caroline was fine with leaving things as they were but Peter wanted a baby.  And so they adopted a little girl.
      Juliette was devoted to her husband and two boys.  They came first in her life but she was also working hard with a partner/friend to develop a cosmetic company.  Then her life went spinning out of control when her husband confessed to her that he had had an affair.  (Really, he should have kept it to himself......but then we wouldn't have had the book, would we!)
      So all of  this happened five years ago- so what happens to shake things up?  A picture and a letter send to Nathan but intercepted by Juliette.  Let the fireworks begin.
     I enjoyed the book although I found the characters to be unbelievable in some of their actions.
