Who can you trust if not the ones you love? That is the question at the heart of Family Pictures, an emotional, page-turning story about what it means to be a family from New York Times bestselling author, Jane Green "Green's novels consistently deliver believable, accessible, heartfelt, often heartwarming stories about real people, problems, and feelings."-Redbook Sylvie and Maggie are two women living on opposite coasts with children about to leave the nest for school. Both are in their forties with husbands who travel more than either would like. The looming emptiness of their respective homes has left them feeling anxious and lonely, needing their husbands to be home now more than ever. It isn't until Eve, Sylvie's daughter, happens to befriend Maggie's daughter that the similarities between these two women become shockingly real. A huge secret has remained well hidden for years until now-and their lives will be blown apart as dark truths from the past come to the surface. Can these two women learn to forgive, for the sake of their children...and for themselves? "This gripping story is ultimately one of redemption."-Library Journal

"Sylvie Haydn is a forty-something mother of one. Maggie Hathaway is a forty-something mother of 3. These two women live very different lives...Sylvie is a free spirit and very artistic while Maggie is a perfectionist whose life is all about rules and order. A chance encounter reveals these women have much more in common than they could have ever imagined.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed seeing how both women dealt with crisis and was amazed at the differences in their reactions. Initially Sylvie was a far more likeable character than Maggie; however as the story progressed I began to warm up to her.<br/><br/>Great read."
