WHY CAN’T I BE YOU
takes its name from a 1987 hit song from English rock band The Cure. All her life, Jenny Shaw toed the line, striving to be
the perfect colleague, girlfriend, and daughter – a path that has led her to an
unhappy (though successful) career, a failed relationship, and all-but-severed
family ties. On her way to the airport for her first business trip, she
is unceremoniously dumped by the man she thought she would one day marry.
In her haze of shock and confusion, she responds to the wrong name when Myra
Aberly, organizer of Seattle ’s Mt. Si class of 1999’s thirteenth high-school
reunion, shouts “Jessie!” across the hotel lobby.
In
an instant, Jenny Shaw becomes Jessie Morgan, a woman to whom she bears an
uncanny resemblance. She is immediately embraced by Jessie’s warm circle of
friends – and gains a possible love interest. But when Jenny
becomes more and more curious about Jessie’s history, she uncovers a trail of
secrets, pain and deceit that inspires her to uncover the truth that will heal
her own painful past.
