Anna Marie is left with the continued fallout of her husband's devastating and destructive secret life with another wife and child. She is tempted to run away from her past but quickly realizes that she must return to those who desperately need her love and support. With a wounded heart and a strong spirit of determination she returns home only to discover that her husband, Kevin, has resurfaced as well. He has returned from the grave! Anna Marie's friend believes that he is seeing and receiving messages from Kevin. Stifled by the fact that even after his death, her husband is somehow still calling the shots, Anna Marie struggles to find balance. In order undo the mess he has made of her life and those she loves, she must determine if she can trust the ghost of her deceptive husband. In the theatrical arena, a well-executed "false exit" will surprise and fool the audience into a fit of laughter. The Actor makes a dramatic exit, but immediately and unexpectedly returns for one last foolish word or forgotten item. The return always greatly diminishes the drama of the first exit and delights the audience with demoralizing humor and an element of surprise. Lane's newest novel, False Exit creates a parallel impression that doesn't disappoint. Once again Lane uses her uncanny ability to bring love, laughter and life's great lessons together with a twist of suspense to engage her readers. False Exit is an outstanding stand-alone book that picks up where the first in the series (Act Two) leaves off. Returning readers will be thrilled to welcome back Anna Marie and the rest of the familiar characters in this cozy sweet read. New readers will likely finish the book with the desire to pick up Act Two in order to spend more time with the enchanting characters.
