The Mannequins Behind the Curtains Jean P. Kvavle

Amanda Leigh is happily married and there are no clouds in her sky, yet, she comes home one day to find that her husband Preston has eloped with her sexy, youngstep mother, Jackie. Preston's sister Pauline, a confidante and advisor of Jackie, has engineered thee scapade. Worse, Pauline is a first class nutcase. She believes her collection of mannequins converse with her and guide her in manipulating others. To complicate matters further, Preston's twin maiden aunts arrive for a visit and establish themselves with Amanda. Strong-minded individuals, with a vintage flavor of the past engrained in their characters, they freely offer Amanda counsel and guidance. All are strong, living, breathing and thoroughly plausible characters, and Amanda must find her way through and around them to put her life back together again. It is an interesting experience.
