Lenfestey Writes About Women For Women
Karen
Lenfestey is a writer of women's fiction, a genre with wide appeal. People are
hungry for stories about real people living through real situations, and her
novels fill the bill. A Sister's Promise and
What Happiness Looks Like, are novels about two sisters, Kate and Joely, and the family ties that bind them.
In our
interview Karen said she wanted to create characters and situations that draw
the reader in and make them want to read more. She relates the events of their
lives with sensitivity and understanding. The dilemma for Kate in the first
book is her inability to conceive a child and her need to be there for her
sister when her world is falling apart. Joely is faced with a frightening health diagnosis, the birth of her
child and the loss of the man with whom she'd expected to spend her life.
In What Happiness Looks Like Joely must
come to terms with her first love's return to her life, not for her, but to
establish a relationship with Ana, the daughter he has never seen. Joely's
illness keeps her from getting on with her life on many levels, and her
betrayal by Ana's father gets in the way of her trusting any relationship. His
return confuses her and angers Kate. Despite her reservations, Joely does not
feel she should keep Ana apart from her dad.
It's all about expectations and how life turns out. Karen takes on complex and painful issues with heart and delicacy.
