Jamie Silver never quite belonged as a scholarship kid at a DC prep school. Now all grown up and a hospital administrator, she is still finding her life dictated by the extremely wealthy people she’s been raised around her whole life. Her one great love, Ford Conway III, was never going to be hers and after an uncomfortable morning after in college. When he literally stumbles into her at the hospital, she realizes that his father is in the hospital at the end stages of his life. Ford has done all he can to separate himself from his family. As a Hollywood producer, he tends to call the shots. Now back home watching over his father, he finds himself under the control of his mother and his politically minded family. Jamie is all grown up and Ford has noticed. He wants a second chance, no matter what his mother has to say about it.
The Back Nine is a cute second chance mystery, but definitely one that relies on the fact that Ford makes bank and is able to bankroll the whole experience. Still, its a cute book and fun to read. The characters are older and more solid in their beliefs and personalities. Still, I found myself wondering how Ford could just sit back and let his mom cause so much chaos in his life.
The Back Nine is now available.
