About this ebook
Lauri is already overwhelmed. Who wouldn’t be, with a three‑year‑old, another baby on the way, and a household she’s barely holding together—when she discovers her husband has been cheating. She tells no one, not even her best friend Alex. Admitting the truth would mean admitting her perfect suburban life was never perfect at all.
Alex’s marriage isn’t what it seems either, but she’s kept her own secrets buried for years. She and Lauri move through their days side by side—snatching adult conversation during playdates, helping each other with school pickup—and pretending everything is fine.
Separately, Lauri tries to repair her marriage while Alex struggles to decide what to do about hers. Neither realizes how closely their choices are intertwined…until it’s too late. And the tragedy that follows will change everything.

About the author
After feeding her addiction to reading for close to forty years (Not too many engineering majors choose a literature minor) Amanda decided to try writing and quickly found that writing was a far bigger weakness for her than reading ever was. "Mistakes" was Amanda's first novel. Before "Mistakes" she wrote two screenplays which to date have not been considered by anyone for anything but she found the experience invaluable.
In addition to writing and reading, Amanda also loves downhill skiing, cross stitching and working out, specifically running, Stronglifts and DDP Yoga. She lives in New England with her wonderful husband of twenty-four years and her two children, ages twelve and nine, who are also wonderful (mostly). She enjoys being a stay at home mom, except on the days she does not.
