The Re-Education of the One Trick Pony: A Carriage Chronicle Novel (The Carriage Chronicles)

By Lisa Deon

After you get to Happily Ever After, how do you keep from mucking it up?Carlin "Carlos" Farley Fantazma's world had finally settled into her best imitation of normal. Saddled with brain damage, aphasia, and a prosthetic left foot, she controls the reins of a successful horse drawn carriage company; that is, with the assistance of her friends and employees. Married to the man she has loved all of her life, their joy of expecting a child is only slightly offset by her fear that she'll leave her baby someplace and forget where she put it.Bill Fantazma is torn between loving his wife so much that he finds it hard to breathe, and wanting to strangle her for her feisty independence and occasional outrageous behavior. He's trying to juggle his own career needs while surreptitiously micro-managing his wife. So he sees no problem with the little white lie he tells to avoid the possibility of bailing her out of jail for attempted murder. But they all discover that deception can be insidious, and wishing he'd paid attention to a creeping shadow of doubt could have saved the life of a much loved employee.Loyalties are tested, relationships are fractured, and accusations are hurled, but when the real enemy's agenda threatens everything, the women of the tribe coalesce and make sure that retribution is swift, painful, and long lasting. And in the end, someone will discover that to be successful in life, you have to be willing to improvise.Some people do the right thing. Some people do the wrong thing. And some people do things because a little birdie tells them to...
