An unlikely hero? Or someone to break all the rules? Wild water is the story of forty-something estate agent Jack, who is stressed out not only by work, bills and the approach of Christmas but by the feeling that he and his wife Patsy are growing apart. His misgivings prove founded when he discovers Patsy is having an affair, and is pregnant.<br \/>\nAt the same time as his marriage begins to collapse around him, he becomes reacquainted with his childhood sweetheart, Anna, whom he left for Patsy twenty five years before. His feelings towards Anna reawaken, but will life and family conflicts conspire to keep them apart again?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Review:<\/h2>\n<p>For years Jack has been living a lie.\u00a0 Only Jack never knew it.\u00a0 When his life suddenly spirals out of control with his business, his wife leaving and his children falling to pieces all he can see are the lies and mistakes he&#8217;s made.\u00a0 This is truly highlighted when he sees his former love, Anna.\u00a0 His world only feels stable around her.\u00a0 This is particularly true when his wife drops the bomb that she is pregnant and his father becomes ill.\u00a0 Just when Jack feels like his life is straightening out everything he&#8217;s known and the choices he&#8217;s made are proven to have been manipulations and lies.\u00a0 Can Jack pull himself together?\u00a0 Will he and Anna have a second chance?<br \/>\nThis was a wonderful novel illustrating how life can be unpredictable and has the ability to cripple you.\u00a0 Jack shows the reader that when life really nails you to the wall its all about how you cope with those moments.\u00a0 It was a definite roller coaster ride of emotions both good and bad.\u00a0 You truly feel for Jack and all of the things that keep flying his way.\u00a0 You will also loath his wife, Patsy.\u00a0 Jan Ruth&#8217;s ability to weave a fascinating story with such emotion and relatability is a true talent.\u00a0 This book is fantastic for a reader looking for an emotional ride that is realistic and engaging.\u00a0 I look forward to the next wonderful novel by Jan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Friday!\u00a0 Today I am bringing to you a wonderful story.
