The Pendulum Trilogy: when life gives you second chances
Victoria Carlyle Bentley has the husband, the kids, the career, the mansion—even the Porsche convertible—of which dreams are made.
But Vic's perfect world collapses when her marriage faces some wildly unexpected changes, the FBI visits her Minneapolis art gallery, and a strange young woman stomps all over what’s left of her well-manicured life. And when she thinks her life can't get any worse, the man who was her first love and greatest heartbreak shows up on her doorstep.
Sometimes dreams turn out to be nightmares. But with a fresh perspective and the help of good friends, Vic just might wake up and find a new dream life for herself: one that isn’t black or white but, instead, a technicolor rainbow.
Pendulum Trilogy
Mary Strand practiced corporate law in a large Minneapolis law firm for sixteen years until the day she set aside her pointy-toed shoes (or most of them) and escaped the land of mergers and acquisitions to write novels. The first novel she wrote, Cooper’s Folly, won Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart award and was her debut novel.
Mary lives on a lake in Minneapolis with her husband, two cute kidlets, and a stuffed monkey named Philip. When not writing, she lives for sports, travel, guitar, dancing (badly), Cosmos, Hugh Jackman, and ill-advised adventures that offer a high probability of injury to herself and others. She writes YA, romantic comedy, and women’s fiction novels. Pride, Prejudice, and Push-Up Bras is the first in her four-book YA series, The Bennet Sisters.
