Weyland's Latest Looks At Overcoming Differences Through Unconditional Love
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- Jennifer Hobbs and Ashley Bailey couldn't be
more opposite. Jennifer runs with the cowboys at school, talks tough
with a rebellious spirit and hates going to church. Ashley is a model
daughter and student with a perky personality, good looks and
cheerful attitude. But there's a secret that binds them together -- a
secret from which both will learn about the things that matter most
in life.
Against this background, acclaimed author Jack Weyland has penned his
newest novel, Ashley and Jen (Bookcraft, $16.95). In this, is 23rd
novel, Weyland explores once again the fun and frustration that are
part of growing up while at the same time illustrating a secretive
and destructive behavior that plagues a surprisingly large number of
young women -- bulimia. In his usual compelling style, Weyland shows
us how the compulsion threatens the lives of its victims, both
physically and emotionally.
Ashley and Jen illustrates the power of friendship and how the
strength of family and friends can help us overcome differences and
difficulties.
