The New York Times bestselling author delivers another winning novel—this time it's a tale of friendship and fate

Jane Green has become a nationally bestselling author with legions of fans through her novels about the true-life dilemmas of real women—their relationships, their careers, their loves, their triumphs and disappointments. In her latest book, Green tells the story of a group of people who haven't seen each other since they were best friends at school. When one of them dies in a terrible tragedy, the reunited friends work through their grief together and find that each of their lives is impacted in ways they could have never foreseen. Warm, witty, and as wise as ever, this is a story of friendship, of family, and of life coming full circle.

She is the author of the novelized memoir, "Naked on the Page: the Misadventures of My Unmarried Midlife" (Viking), which has been optioned for a TV series by TBS. Of her book, Elle magazine wrote: "[Ganahl's] dating escapades are daring and delicious, but also emotionally profound." For the San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle, she covered everything from City Hall to pop culture. For almost five years she penned the well-received "Single Minded" Sunday column about the unmarried life; it served as the backdrop for her memoir. For her outspokenness, MSN.com named her to its Singles Hall of Fame, noting: "Jane Ganahl is not only a keen observer of single life - she's also a champion of it." She has chaired panels at the Commonwealth Club and elsewhere on her subject matter. Her work can now be found regularly on Huffington Post and Match.com, and has appeared on Salon.com, Rolling Stone.com and in various magazines from Book to Parenting to Rolling Stone. She has been awarded by the Society of Professional Journalists for her work. She edited an anthology of women writers entitled "Single Woman of a Certain Age" (Inner Ocean, Nov. 2005) and contributed essays to two other anthologies, including the recent "Single State of the Union." She also co-directs Litquake, an annual festival of Bay Area literature that annually draws more than 350 writers and thousands of fans of the written word. In what little spare time she has, she organizes The Last Supper, an eight-year-old monthly dinner salon in San Francisco for writers, artists, filmmakers and others in creative fields. Her cherished daughter lives in LA so she goes back and forth frequently.
