  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;What can a bride do when her mother-in-law becomes &lt;I&gt;The Other Woman&lt;/I&gt;?&lt;/B&gt; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; Newly engaged, Ellie is thrilled to be accepted into the loving Cooper clan&amp;#151;which seems like the perfect family she never had&amp;#151;until she begins to realize that Dan's mom, Linda, is a little too involved. Dan and Linda talk on the phone every day. Twice a day. As Dan and Ellie's intimate civil wedding ceremony gets transformed into a black-tie affair, Ellie begins to wonder if it's possible to marry the man without marrying his mother. &lt;P&gt; As troubles mount, Ellie turns to her friends&amp;#151;glamorous Lisa, who always looks like she's just stepped off a runway, and wonderfully frazzled Trish&amp;#151;and tries to rediscover the independence she once had, and the man she still loves. But it seems that having a child and saving a marriage means growing up in ways she'd never imagined . . . &lt;P&gt; A warm, witty, and wise look at mothers-in-law and what they teach us about ourselves, &lt;I&gt;The Other Woman&lt;/I&gt; is sure to please Jane Green's growing legion of fans.</default_description>
