Baggage
ACCLAIMED NEWFOUNDLAND AUTHOR Jill Sooley’s second novel, Baggage, examines the step family. Drawing on humour and heart¬break, as she did in Widows of Paradise Bay, this story unfolds from the perspectives of three women – Marie, mother and stepmother; Floss, Marie’s daughter who grew up in a broken home and must deal with her mother’s second marriage; and Lolly, the rebellious step¬daughter and young single mother who has never felt comfortable in her place within the stepfamily. Baggage highlights the ties that bind the stepfamily in all its awkward, complex, and optimistic tension.
“This is honest, gripping, funny stuff.”
“In the telling of the stories of these three remarkable yet regular women, Sooley has written a romance for a world where blended families are becoming more and more prevalent. She doesn’t sugarcoat reality, but she sure shows that love can be sweet.”
