Sally Basmajian’s book, So Hard to Do, will be published in January 2023. Her contemporary rom-com is a fast-paced book in which family ties are tested. The mom, Suze Foster, has always been devoted to her daughter, Jannie. As a child, Jannie required extra support in school, but now she’s a rising executive. Suze, thrilled with Jannie’s success, is finally free to follow her own dreams. 

Too bad they unknowingly fall for the same man. It’s a twisted triangle indeed – one that, if this weren’t a comedy, could lead to heartbreak and forever sever the mother-daughter bond. The book is being published by Creative James Media, Maryland.
