Plain Jane (P)

"Plain Jane" is Fern Michaels's greatest triumph yet -- the tale of an "ugly duckling" who transforms herself into a successful businesswoman, wins the love of a wonderful man. . .and unearths and solves a shocking crime.

If Jane Lewis could have had just one wish, she would be like homecoming queen Connie Bryan. Instead, she was just Plain Jane -- overweight, frumpy, and painfully shy. But that was then. Today, a lovely and confident Dr. Jane Lewis has a thriving psychotherapy practice, her own radio talk show, and a beautiful old Louisiana mansion. The right guy just hasn't come along. That is, until Michael Sorenson walks back into her life.

Jane has never forgotten her drop-dead gorgeous high school crush. Now, he's making her feel like the most sensual woman alive -- inspiring her to dream new dreams. But she's also never forgotten the brutal, unsolved attack that ended Connie Bryan's life -- an attack she witnessed and that still haunts her. Then, out of the blue, Jane is presented with clues into the identities of Connie's attackers, and suddenly, her future is colliding with her past -- taking her into a world of risk and excitement, and offering her the chance to become a truly extraordinary woman... if she dares.
