Waxy Cones

Jennifer Mercer
Lucy Meyer wakes every morning in a beautiful house, cradled in British Columbia’s Robson Valley, surrounded by breathtaking views of the wild Canadian Rocky Mountains. Living in her custom-built home, Lucy is newly married with two beautiful children. Despite a craving for a sense of belonging in her new community across the country from her family in Ontario, Lucy’s life is exactly what she had dreamed of, giving her an ominous sense that something just has to go wrong. The monotonous demands of her two young children keep the stay-at-home mom from exploring, yet she doesn’t have to travel far to stumble upon a shocking revelation that her husband is not who she thought he was. Lucy’s picture perfect life has been turned upside down, and she has no choice but to trust the help of her neighbours in a suspenseful pursuit for the truth, creating irreversible bonds with near-strangers.
Jennifer Mercer, like Lucy, is a stay-at-home mom of two who married her husband in McBride. This was the spark for a small-town story featuring strong women connected by a desire to protect the ones they love. Jennifer has been an avid reader since childhood and is fascinated by how real, fully developed characters can exist in writing. Jennifer earned a bachelor’s degree in biology: her love of nature informs the rich descriptions found throughout this book. Jennifer is also a keen observer of humanity: she draws on her experience as a mother and the experiences of those around her to explore the desires and regrets of her characters. Jennifer lives in Alliston, Ontario, with her husband and two sons.
