Synopsis

The last person she expected to see at her husband's funeral was his wife!

But having learned her husband apparently bought his engagement rings in bulk, Penny Reynolds is shocked out of her well-ordered world. She can't bring herself to hate his wife, Susan, or toss his amazing piano-playing dog (another surprise) out on his rump. Still, she can get answers as to why her hubby led his secret life. All it takes is a little persuading before she and Susan embark on the trip of a lifetime with Harvey the Wonder Dog in tow.

As the two travel the show-dog circuit, Penny learns not just how to teach the dog to sing The Star-Spangled Banner, but also how to let go. She finds her answers (some less welcome than others). But thanks to her ex's legacy and Harvey's amazing trainer, Penny's ready to run with whatever curveball life throws at her!

*I listened to this book via Everand When you've listened to a certain number of books, you can't always listen to what you want. The Jack Russel on the cover made this appealing to me. This is a finding yourself story. Penny's, our FMC, husband dies and another woman who is clearly his wife is in at......more

Goodreads review by Maureen on December 17, 2021

I wasn’t sure what to think when I started The Other Wife. I thought I was going to read about Penny feeling sorry for herself, learning that her recently deceased husband was a bigamist.
