One afternoon Jamie is so bored she forms lips with her left hand and kisses it. She is missing passion in her life. Her husband, Joe, always ready with a snide remark, catches her in the act. This time he’s speechless when Jamie quips that she’s “having an affair.”
​The story is told in Jamie’s irreverent voice and blends two timelines–that of Jamie’s young years with her teenage soulmate, then her troubled marriage and ensuing Hollywood affair.
After more than 20 years of marriage, Jamie realizes that she and her husband bring out the worst in each other. When she reconnects with her first love, she faces an uncertain future.
In Love Madly, author Tracey Hooker uses Jamie’s past to lay the foundation for the choices that she makes. The powerful prose brings Jamie’s character to life.
When she and Paul reconnect decades after they’ve each gone their separate ways, both still have a mental image of who they were as teens. While Paul has followed in his father’s footsteps in Hollywood, he’s far from the hunky man she remembers.
Jamie learns what it is like to love someone madly and be loved in return, but the road to happiness isn’t what she had expected. It’s a poignant story full of laughter and tears.
Love Madly is a powerhouse of a story that focuses on a woman’s desire for love…but before she can find love, she must learn to love herself.
