Par Terri Blackstock, Beverly LaHaye. 2001
Tory Sullivan struggles with the demands of motherhood and her desire for a career. An aspiring writer, she wonders whether…
she'll ever be able to develop her talent while raising two young children. But perhaps the problem isn't a matter of time, but of Tory. Cathy Flaherty is rediscovering the grins and groans of the dating game. The spunky single mother of three teenagers, she's also learning the urgency of instilling sound values in her children as they attend public school. Sylvia Bryan is an empty-nester. Now that her children are gone, she struggles with a gnawing lack of meaning. Her husband, Harry, wants to become a medical missionary. But for Sylvia, the best part of life seems like nothing but a memory. Brenda Dodd faces an uncertain future. Her nine-year-old son is getting sicker, and there seems to be nothing they can do. It is every mother's nightmare -- a child who will die unless he receives a heart transplant. As the women of Cedar Circle band together to save a dying child, they learn that each moment is precious in every season under the heaven. Taking the best and worst of human circumstances -- the tender moments, the laughter, the tragedies, and the triumphs -- Beverly LaHaye and Terri Blackstock weave from them a poignant, warmly human novel. Gently uncovering the inner struggles, stresses, and joys that surface among neighbors living in a quiet cul-de-sac, the authors show us the power of ordinary lives being knit into a strong, many-textured fabric of family and friendships. Seasons Under Heaven depicts the deepest emotions of a woman's heart, and those circumstances, both thrilling and tragic, that test and strengthen Christian faith.The Breakdown Lane: A Novel

novel of the breakdown of a family and of healing after a loss Giving advice is what Julianne Ambrose Gillis does for a living—every Sunday she doles it out to clueless people she doesn’t know, in a column in her local Wisconsin paper. But when it comes to her personal life, Julie seems to have no insight whatsoever. She has worked hard to keep her marriage fresh and to be a good mother, so it’s a mystery when Leo, her husband of twenty years, decides to defect from their life together and their three children: Gabe, Caroline and Aury. In his absence, Julie is diagnosed with a serious illness, which drives her children to undertake a dangerous journey to find Leo—before it’s too late. But what they discover about their father is even more devastating than their mother’s deteriorating health. As the known world sinks precariously from view and leaves them all adrift, the Gillis clan must navigate their way through the trenches of love, guilt and betrayal, back to solid ground and a new definition of family.Stella Dallas: Bobbie: General Manager, The Fifth Wheel, Stella Dallas (Femmes Fatales)
Par Olive Prouty. 2015
This pulp classic of motherhood and money introduced the immortal character portrayed on film by Barbara Stanwyck and Bette Midler—&“a…
feminist gem&” (Michael Bronski). An ambitious woman from working-class roots, Stella sets her sights on marrying rich—and hits a bullseye. But her unshakable crudeness becomes too much for her husband. When he leaves her, she keeps their daughter Laurel. And now Stella sets her sights one again—this time, on giving her daughter the life she could never achieve for herself. Originally published in 1923, this epic tale inspired the first radio soap opera, a Broadway play, and multiple films, including the Oscar-nominated 1937 movie starring Barbara Stanwyck and the 1990 movie Stella starring Bette Midler. Stella Dallas is a razor-sharp critique of our societal obsession with the judgment of mothers, offering cultural commentary that is still shockingly relevant nearly one hundred years after its initial publication.Elena

A brother recalls the magnificent life of his sister, the greatest writer of her ageA launch party is underway for…
a hotly anticipated biography, the life story of Elena Franklin. As a young woman, Elena was one of the most promising literary talents of the 1920s, and over the years her legend grew. Her biographer, Martha Farrell, has combed through all the evidence of Elena&’s genius and passion, from her early years in New York to her expatriate life in Paris. The result is a monumental work – but among the party&’s crowd is the man who knows the book is an empty shell. Only William, Elena&’s brother, knew the truth about the famed author. Martha&’s flawed biography spurs his memory, and he recalls how the temperamental baby grew into a legend. He knew Elena&’s hidden pain, shared their family secrets, and draws his own portrait of the troubled soul that lay behind her artistic gifts.Showers in Season: Seasons Under Heaven, Showers In Season, Times And Seasons, Season Of Blessing (Seasons Series #2)

Par Jonathan Miles. 2013
A &“shrewd, funny, and sometimes devastating&” novel about the things we desire and the things we throw away (Entertainment Weekly).…
A New York Times Notable Book A highly inventive, corrosively funny story of our times, Want Not exposes three different worlds in various states of disrepair—a young freegan couple living off the grid in New York City; a once-prominent linguist, sacked at midlife by the dissolution of his marriage and his father&’s losing battle with Alzheimer&’s; and a self-made debt-collecting magnate, whose brute talent for squeezing money out of unlikely places has yielded him a royal existence, trophy wife included. Want and desire propel these characters forward toward something, anything, more, until their worlds collide, briefly, randomly, yet irrevocably, in a shattering ending that will haunt readers long after the last page is turned. &“Its pleasures are endless."—Joshua Ferris, author of Then We Came to the End &“Terrific…The novel may begin with prickly satire, it may dig deep into America&’s disposable lifestyle, but it ultimately pivots to scenes of surprising tenderness…a novel to hoard.&”—The Washington Post &“Leaps nimbly from topic to topic…from freeganism to conspicuous consumption; from Manhattan's Alphabet City to residential New Jersey to the backwoods of Tennessee; and from neighbors with nothing but geographical location in common to sisters who share nothing but blood….Sitting down with Want Not is like finding yourself opposite the most interesting person at a dinner party. It pulls you in immediately; makes you shake your head in wonder and delight at your new companion's wit, originality, and compelling turns of phrase; and, best of all, surprises you into laughter.&”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette &“For readers who relish extravagant language, scathing wit and philosophical heft, Want Not wastes nothing.&”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)No River Too Wide (Goddesses Anonymous #3)
