About the Book
Along the banks of the Sweet Oak River, deep
in the heart of the
Ozarks, a romance novel book club
takes five women on stunning journeys of self-discovery. After losing first her
husband, then her daughter, seventy-eight-year-old grandmother
Ruby wants to teach her risk-averse granddaughter, Tulsa, that some leaps are
worth taking, no matter how high the potential fall. Tulsa loves her grandmother
dearly, but she has a business to run and no time for romance―not even the paperback
version. But when Ruby ropes her into a book club, Tulsa can’t bring herself to
disappoint the woman who raised her. Together with Ruby’s best friend, Pearl,
as well as family friends BJ and Jen, the women embark on an exploration of
modern-day love guided by written tales of romance. What they discover is a
beautiful story that examines the bonds of friendship and the highs and lows
of love in all its forms.

About the Author
Jan Stites has
been a screenwriter, a screenwriting instructor, a waitress, a secretary, a
middle school teacher in both inner-city and affluent schools, a scuba dive
travel writer, a journalist, a transcriptionist for doctors and for documentary
filmmakers, and a volunteer teacher in Kenya and the Yucatan. She
considers the affirmative action
plan she wrote for a maritime company to be perhaps her greatest work of

currently hard at play writing her next different book--a romantic comedy set
in the Ozarks. Scheduled for release in the spring of 2014, Reading the Sweet

rivers, herons and love in many forms.
