The Sad Days of Janie Sutton – 83,400 words. My second full length novel. It is the story of a middle-aged housewife who makes the tragic decision to leave her husband and children for another man and lives to regret it. 

PROLOGUE

     Jane Lillian Pace was born in Omaha, Nebraska on February 2, 1932. Her father, Don Pace, a 37-year old shoe salesman, affectionately called her his "little groundhog girl."For as long as she could remember, everyone called her Janie. It was an appropriate nickname, as Janie wa a sensitive child with a sweet disposition. With smooth, white skin, pouting red lips and curly dark hair with wide brown eyes to match, she was a pretty little girl (and would grow to be a very attractive, if not beautiful, woman) that everyone liked and compared to shirley Temple. A very intelligent person, she did well in school all the way through her freshmanyear at Hastings, when she dropped out to marry Don Arnold, her first husband and father of her two children.  But, Janie would live her life strangely unaware of her God-given talents. 

     Perhaps if Janie felt she was as interesting and attractive as other people considered her to be, the last years of here life would have been much happier.

     But, she didn't, and they weren't.
