From acclaimed author Barbara Taylor Bradford--"Love in Another Town"--compelling romantic melodrama both through novel and TV film

Love in Another Town 

Love in Another Town

As he approaches his 29th birthday, Jake Cantrell feels his life completely is stalled. He is estranged from his wife Amy, his childhood sweetheart, who has failed to grow up with him over the years.

Desperately seeking a divorce, wanting to put more distance between them, and needing to concentrate on his new business, Cantrell moves to a new town: Kent, Connecticut. An electrical contractor, with an outstanding reputation and an extraordinary talent for creating special lighting effects, Cantrell becomes involved with an amateur theatrical group in his spare time. At the first meeting of the group, Cantrell encounters Maggie Sorrell, a good looking, charming woman of 44. Sorrell, an interior designer, will be working with Cantrell on the sets of the play, The Crucible.

Sorrell herself recently moved from Chicago to Kent after her lawyer husband left her for a younger woman. Now divorced and painfully out of touch with her two grown children, she hopes to start life anew in Kent.

In the process of renovating an old farmhouse for a client, Sorrell hires Cantrell as the electrical contractor. Working together on a daily basis, watching the old farmhouse being transformed into a warm, enduring home, they fall in love. Ahead lie obstacles -- the years difference in their ages, Amy Cantrell's sudden illness, her reluctance to divorce Cantrell and Sorrell's own inner turmoil. But together they ultimately overcome the odds and find happiness in another town. Emotionally gripping and uplifting, Love in Another Town is a dramatic and inspiring page turner guaranteed to touch the reader on many levels.

































The story of forty-something Maggie Sorrell, who feels her life is as cold as the winter wind blowing through her Chicago home. Estranged from her lawyer husband and out of touch with her grown children, she moves to Connecticut to begin her life anew as an interior designer. Once there, she meets Jake Cantrell, a carpenter some years her junior. Maggie never expected to find new love with a younger man. Neither of them are prepared for the life changes that will ensue as their romance progresses. Did they meet only to be torn apart by unforeseen circumstances--or is there a chance their love is strong enough to conquer all?

Starring: Victoria Principal, Adrian Pasdar, Mary Kay Place, Finn Carter
