In Surprise Packages, the satisfying conclusion of The Company of Good Women series, Juneau, Deenie, and Erin deal with a new set of challenges.
Deenie, now living in Gainesville, Florida, begins to question everything she has believed about herself as she sees her actions through others' eyes. Juneau's feelings of guilt come to a head when a secret from her childhood and the mystery of her great-grandmother, Letitia, combine to force her to confront her past. And Erin, whose painful divorce has made her cynical about love and marriage, must decide if she can take a risk when she has a second chance for love.
I read Surprise Packages in three days!
I want to thank some of the best LDS authors!! Anticipating Surprise Packages was exciting. How would this book top the first two? Would Deenie make life fun in Florida? What about Erin and her life? Would Juneau find Giddy? These questions and more were answered. When I read the last chapter and knew this series was at an end, it was a sad sad day. Good for the characters, just sad for me. The way the three of you write I felt I was with the story as a character not written in the pages but walking along with Deenie, Juneau and Erin.

Surprise Packages is the best book of the series.
I couldn't put it down. It's fast paced and full of life lessons.
I love the characters. They’re real women with real problems. They don't pretend to be perfect--they face their problems and work towards becoming "crusty old broads" together.
Besides being a good read, the book inspired me to make some changes in my life. I want to be a Crusty Old Broad when I grow up!"
