Описание: From the New York Times bestselling author of Falling and The Sunshine Sisters comes a timely novel about the challenges of starting over.

In the Gold Coast town of Highfield, Connecticut, recent divorcee Kit Hargrove has joyfully exchanged the requisite diamond studs and Persian rugs of a "Wall Street Widow" for her true dream home: a clapboard Cape with sea green shutters and sprawling impatiens. Her kids are content, her ex cooperative, and each morning she wakes up to her dream job assisting novelist Robert McClore.

But when a figure from the past arrives just as the shifting financial market turns Highfield upside down, Kit is forced to realize that her blissfully constructed life and blossoming new romance aren't as foolproof as she thought...

Another Piece of My Heart

"A moving story peopled with nuance, sympathetic characters." --Booklist

Andi has spent much of her adult life looking for the perfect man, and at thirty-seven, she's finally found him. Ethan--divorced with two daughters, Emily and Sophia--is a devoted father and even better husband. Always hoping one day she would be a mother, Andi embraces the girls like they were her own. But in Emily's eyes, Andi is an obstacle to her father's love, and Emily will do whatever it takes to break her down. When the dynamics between the two escalate, they threaten everything Andi believes about love, family, and motherhood--leaving both women standing at a crossroad in their lives ... and in their hearts.

"You will laugh and cry as you read...It's that good."--Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Lucia, Lucia and the Valentine Series

Описание:

Join Sir Gawain on his journey to seek the green chapel and battle the green knight who dwells there. Accepting the challenge of a Christmas game on behalf of his uncle, King Arthur, the young knight, Sir Gawain, leaves his home of Camelot and travels afar, finding board at a stately castle. Received by a hospitable Host, Sir Gawain finds refuge along with many tests and challenges along the way. His final challenge awaits at the green chapel, where he is to receive a deathly blow of the ax from the green knight. The greatest challenge of all is young Sir Gawain staying honest to himself.

Jane England received an F in the children's literature course. The only failing grade of her entire academic career was on a mid-term paper she wrote about the anonymous fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." Her professor at the time disagreed that the well-studied piece of British literature was also a work of children's literature.

Many great works of children's literature demonstrate Joseph Campbell's thesis of the mythical journey of the hero depicting the psychological and spiritual maturation necessary for human existence. "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" satisfies all the elements of Joseph Campbell's thesis of the hero's journey: the call to adventure, supernatural aid, crossing the threshold from the known to the unknown, beginning of transformation, aid from a helper, challenges and temptations, the revelation and the abyss, rebirth and transformation, atonement, and return to the known.

Albeit, the anonymous fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" as written did not lend itself easily to be read by children. Ultimately the mutually agreed upon decision was to rewrite a portion of the fourteenth-century work into the text of children's literature following the structure of the hero's journey and proving that the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight can be children's literature. Challenge accepted.

On and off for many years beyond college, Jane continued rewriting the entire poem into a simplified form to appeal to children.

Описание:

Jane Green's Summer Secrets is a "compelling" (Booklist) drama and a beautifully rendered portrait of love, forgiveness, and finding the courage to change and being strong enough to weather the storms.

When a shocking family secret is revealed, twenty-something journalist Cat Coombs finds herself falling into a dark spiral. Wild, glamorous nights out in London and raging hangovers the next day become her norm, leading to a terrible mistake one night while visiting family in America, on the island of Nantucket. It's a mistake for which she can't forgive herself. When she returns home, she confronts the unavoidable reality of her life and knows it's time to grow up. But she doesn't know if she'll ever be able to earn the forgiveness of the people she hurt.

As the years pass, Cat grows into her forties, a struggling single mother, coping with a newfound sobriety and determined to finally make amends. Traveling back to her past, to the family she left behind on Nantucket all those years ago, she may be able to earn their forgiveness. But in doing so, Cat also risks losing the very people she loves the most.

"Gripping and powerful."--Emily Giffin

The Friends We Keep is the heartwarming and unforgettable New York Times bestselling novel from Jane Green, author of The Sunshine Sisters and The Beach House.

Evvie, Maggie, and Topher have known one another since college. Their friendship was something they swore would last forever. Now years have passed, the friends have drifted apart, and they never found the lives they wanted--the lives they dreamed of when they were young and everything seemed possible.

Evvie starved herself to become a supermodel but derailed her career by sleeping with a married man.

Maggie married Ben, the boy she fell in love with in college, never imagining the heartbreak his drinking would cause.

Topher became a successful actor, but the shame of a childhood secret shut him off from real intimacy.

By their thirtieth reunion, these old friends have lost touch with one another and with the people they dreamed of becoming. Together again, they have a second chance at happiness...until a dark secret is revealed that changes everything.

The Friends We Keep is about how despite disappointments we've had or mistakes we've made, it's never too late to find a place to call home.

Описание:

Charlotte Darling, principal dancer for New York City Ballet, is not as young as she once was, but a childhood memory of Margot Fonteyn keeps her going long after other dancers might have retired. Like all athletes, she has iron self-discipline as well as some injuries, which require a certain amount of pain management.

The book opens with Charlotte writing her memoirs. Her soon-to-be former husband has put her in a financial bind, and she is writing and dancing as fast as she can to maintain her luxurious lifestyle.

Charlotte's sister Lilly is her manager, but as the divorce proceedings become more and more complicated, their mother leaves retirement behind in Virginia and comes back on the scene. The indomitable Kay Darling has spent her life promoting her talented daughter and proves to be a lioness in protecting her.

Careless is a fast-moving and witty tale of love and betrayal. The action takes place in New York, Palm Beach, Newport and Middleburg, places the author knows intimately.

Foster shows us the dark side of fame and addiction, yet manages to make us laugh.
