All in
one day, thirty-five-year-old Hallie Marsh learns that the man she loves, works for, and is living with has found someone else—and that she no longer has a job, a place to live, or a car since she crashed it into a hedge. Her feelings of rage and desire for revenge are soon replaced by a fascination with her new neighbors—four peculiar, elderly people who decide to buy an old run-down estate, fix it up, and live in it “just like
family.”
***********************************************************************************
+++++++++ Reviews
Love and romance, yes. But much more. Just Like Family reflects with sensitivity the intensity, the warmth, the need, the possibilities of friendship. We meet people of different races, backgrounds and ages who all find themselves somehow tied together in a time and place. Hardships, relationships, tragedies challenge the characters. The reader joins and
emotionally shares with them the voyage of discovery that ensues. Ultimately we learn the goal and, trust me, we are enhanced as much as the characters we have come to know and love. This is a book to treasure. For today's readers, subjected to troubling news from around the world, Just Like Family comes as a panacea. Thank you Barbara Casey.

Just Like Family is a fun story with unforgettable characters. Taking on the challenges of working in a highly competitive or difficult environment, it offers a deliciously naughty concept for those of us “a certain age” facing the perils of living alone. Just like in her novels The
Coach’s Wife and Shyla’s Initiative, Barbara Casey gives us a perceptive, multi-dimensional glimpse into the world around us.

=======================================================
Another deafening roar exploded from the coliseum, and when it did Marla threw down her partially-smoked cigarette and ground it into the
polished tile floor with the toe of her shoe. Quickly she reached for another cigarette from the opened pack in her small red handbag. She lit it, sucked the smoke into her mouth, held her breath, coughed, and then slowly released it. Marla didn't smoke, but when she paced up and down the hallways of basketball coliseums, puffing on cigarettes seemed appropriate. It gave her something to do with her hands, and it helped keep her sane. | |

Bowls had been emptied, boxes poured out, everything had been taken out of the refrigerator and dumped on the floor.
I felt cereal crunch beneath my feet. All the cabinet doors were open and cans of food
were everywhere. In the middle of it all was Grandma.
"I was looking for the jello," she said cheerfully. I opened the refrigerator door. One dish remained. It was the jello. |
