Some Other Way by Margot Johnson

 Maybe what she wants is not what she needs

About the Book: Jayne Jones is not as plain as her mother makes her feel. Her life is full as surrogate aunt to her birth daughter, given up in open adoption five years ago, and as leader of the Adopt-a-Dog service. 

More than anything, Jayne wants to expand the overcrowded dog shelter on a coveted piece of adjacent land.  When Dr. Evan Scott, her high school crush, returns to his hometown to enlarge the local medical clinic on the very same property, he complicates everything. 

Now her formidable opponent, Evan is ready to forget past hurts and embrace a fresh start with the cute girl—now attractive woman—he remembers. But should Jayne bare her heart to the good-looking newcomer? And will her open secret change his mind?

Our Review: This sweet romance, while showing to great advantage the ‘gifts’ gained by living in a small prairie town, also reveals in heart breaking detail the long-term effects of the choice two women made to give their child a better life.

Based on a scale of 1-5, Some Other Way merits a 3.
