The Protagonist needs a friend

My main Character, Jamie Acito (name change in the rewrite), has a family, a boyfriend and a career. There was something missing in her personal life...a friend. A friend who is not a detective and a friend who does not live the single city life. It had to be someone who she knows a very long time. So...I created Dina Rinaldi. Dina went to high school with Jamie. When Jaime moved to the city and concentrated on her career, Dina stayed in Brooklyn, married and had two children. This is a life Jamie shunned. Jamie finds herself jealous at a life she would never choose. This complicates her relationship with Daniel. At times she wonders where her life would be if she and Daniel had married.

In the rewrite, Dina is introduced during the telephon conversation between Jamie and her Mom on the day receives the call from One Police Plaza.

Welcome Dina Rinaldi to Faction, the novel.
