Strength in Numbers Jeanine Hoffman Books
This story reinforces the concept of love conquers all. A thirteen year estranged relationship, cancer and demanding careers did not deter the love between Jay and Bailey. It was a wonderful journey from acquaintance to childbirth. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to my friends.Product details

Strength in Numbers Jeanine Hoffman Books Reviews
WOW....it was an emotional afternoon for me as I finished Strength in Numbers. Anyone who has had cancer strike them or a loved one completely understands the emotional highs and lows of treatment. The book was so much more than about cancer but it wound itself throughout the story. The relationships between the 4 main characters all grew in various ways and one certainly came to understand the title.
Debut author Jeanine Hoffman found a voice that rings true and I hope she has many more novels to share.
Jay Conway and Bailey McIntyre had grown up together. Jay and Bailey loved each other. But Bailey runs from Jay when she realizes their love goes deeper than just friendship. Years later Bailey returns and wants to make amends. Jay isn't sure she can stand having her heart broken again though.
Jay becomes good friends with a golf coach, Riley. Then there is Jay's boss, Sharon, who is a workaholic with no friends. The four women become close and make a great team when tragedy strikes, proving that indeed, there is strength in numbers.
I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was very true to life. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out the outcome of this sensitive story. All in all, a great first book from Jeanine. I'll be looking out for more.
Jay Conway is a successful banker in Philadelphia who devotes more of her time to her job than to developing a personal life. Thirteen years before she and her best friend Bailey McIntyre discovered they had deeper feelings for each other, but Bailey couldn't deal with the situation and ran away. Now Bailey is back and not only does she want to reestablish their relationship, but she's hired to work at Jay's bank. Their boss, Sharon, is deeply closeted and encourages them to be also because she doesn't believe that known lesbians can have a successful career in finance. Unfortunately, Jay is diagnosed with cancer and for Bailey to be able to take care of her, they have to make their relationship known. Sharon decides to help them and possibly risk her own career. The three of them are joined in the battle by Jay's friend Riley who is the golf pro at the country club. The women are going to fight battles together and support each other as they try to deal with the stresses that are placed on their personal and professional lives.
Hoffman tries to deal with a number of issues in this story, probably too many. There is the broken relationship between Jay and Bailey, which causes Jay to be distrustful of any other women for years. That plot line takes an unbelievable turn when suddenly all is forgiven and things go on as if the bitter feelings of thirteen years never existed. There is a very realistic description of what Jay has to go through with her cancer treatments and it would have made a very thought provoking story. Or there is the struggle that Jay and Bailey go through to establish their rights as partners both with the medical profession and at work. Finally, there is the story between Sharon and Riley as they try to reconcile a relationship where one is closeted and the other is an out lesbian. Any one of these would have been a good basis for a book, but in trying to put them all in the same story, none of them developed completely or got the attention that they deserved.
One unique aspect of the book is that it contains a few recipes at the back for those readers who want to try them out. Two of the characters like to cook and these are the meals they prepare.
Strength in Numbers is fine for a few hours of entertainment. Be careful which paperback version you purchase. The first edition had some mistakes that the publisher says have been corrected now. The eBook shouldn't be a concern.
This story reinforces the concept of love conquers all. A thirteen year estranged relationship, cancer and demanding careers did not deter the love between Jay and Bailey. It was a wonderful journey from acquaintance to childbirth. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to my friends.
