Jane Sanburg married her life-long love, despite of her best friend’s warnings that Bill was cheating. Jane couldn’t believe Bill would do such a thing. Passion was not a word she’d use to describe solid, dependable Bill. But within a short time, she received verification that Bill was seeing other women… 

Now, a year after her divorce, Jane has reconnected with her girlfriends, started a scrapbooking business, and has met a male neighbor who accuses her of being dangerous to men and cats—after she opens her car door, slamming it into his chest, and her dog trees his cat.  

When Jane’s ex reenters the picture, trying to woo her back, Jane has to decide whether her future resides in the past, or in the uncertainty of starting anew. 

Prints Charming is Ms. Seitz’s debut novel, and she has managed to take four different women (Jane’s is the main story, but each of her friends have subplots in this book) and weave them together for an interesting read. I am anxious to read the second novel in the Sisters Ink series. Each of them are focused on scrapbooking and the end of the book includes some sample layouts and instructions for scrapbooking.  I’ve always been fascinated by the beautiful work done in scrapbooks, but have never attempted it, and it was interesting to read about how it was done, and all the different experiences the women in this book has.  Discussion questions are also included at the end of the book. $14.99. 312 pages.
