This is the working cover for a book I hope to have published by November.
Ethel, a middle school teacher, Luce, a stay-at-home mom married to a successful businessman, and Ola, owner of Ola’s Wise Old Books, are best friends. They circumnavigate through the pitfalls of middle age together, confiding their innermost thoughts to each other. Or do they?
Ethel, out of pride, acts as if all is normal even though her husband suddenly returns to his native India. Ola refuses to discuss her past or strange relationship with Cornelius, who works alongside her at the bookstore.
Everything takes a strange twist when Luce, while in the library, comes across some disturbing news regarding Ola, and then after calling the middle school, she finds Ethel no longer works there. If that were not enough, Ola announces she has cancer, and the prognosis is not good.

The title font is difficult to read from a distance. I would make it bolder and more readable. The subtitle font is too small, and the copy doesn’t make a strong enough statement. The illustration is very eye-catching! Sounds like a fascinating story.
What font would you suggest? Also, what are you suggesting for the blurb? Thanks!
Jerri, not having read the manuscript, itâs difficult to weigh in, but hereâs some alternative ideas to get you thinking. Mike
I like the cover. I’m often attracted to stand out, colorful, artsy book covers first. Your title would intrigue me enough to examine it more. Best wishes!
Thank you, Susan
