Librarian Janet Johnson is puzzled when she is invited-and practically dragged-to her first meeting of the Rejected Writers' Book Club. This quirky group of women would much rather celebrate one another's rejected manuscripts over cups of tea and slices of lemon cake than actually publish a book. But good friends are exactly what Janet needs after moving to the small town of Southlea Bay, Washington. Just as the ladies are about to raise a teacup to their five hundredth rejection letter, they receive bad news that could destroy one member's reputation-and disband the group forever. To save the club, Janet joins her fellow writers on a wild road trip to San Francisco in search of the local publisher who holds the key to a long-buried secret. As they race to the finish line, they'll face their fears-landslides, haunted houses, handsome strangers, ungrateful children-and have the time of their lives. Revised edition: This edition of The Rejected Writers' Book Club includes editorial revisions.

Reviews
"Great fun! Suzanne Kelman's humor makes you want to call some girlfriends and plan to get together. Friendship is a major theme in this story and I'm all about that! The premise is certainly not to be taken seriously...even more reason to laugh...of course all writers want to have their work recognized! Light, quirky, and heartwarming. I'm looking forward to Book Two!" -Patricia Sands, bestselling author of the Love in Provence series "A quirky and fun read. Highly recommended." -Christine Nolfi, bestselling author of the Sweet Lake Novels "I didn't get a chance to review this book right after I finished, and I'm kind of glad it worked out that way. Because I realized-I haven't been able to get this book out of my mind! The author did a great job of creating memorable and zany characters, and putting them on a road trip adventure that was one wild ride. But, what was great is that it was still realistic. I appreciate when authors take you just to the edge of what is possible without going over the top. I look forward to future books in this series." -Camille di Maio, bestselling author of The Memory of Us "A wonderful heartwarming story filled with love and laughter." -Victoria Connelly, bestselling author of The Rose Girls "Suzanne Kelman has an effortless knack for making you laugh out loud. This is hugely entertaining, feel-good fiction for a rainy day or an afternoon at the beach. Be prepared to be unable to stop smiling." -Carol Mason, Amazon Charts bestselling author of After You Left
