Описание: Its a Tuesday morning in Brooklyn--a perfect September day. Wendy is heading to school, eager to make plans with her best friend, worried about how she looks, mad at her mother for not letting her visit her father in California, impatient with her little brother and with the almost too-loving concern of her jazz musician stepfather. Shes out the door to catch the bus. An hour later comes the news: A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center--her mothers office building.
Through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Wendy, we gain entrance to the world rarely shown by those who documented the events of that one terrible day: a familys slow and terrible realization that Wendys mother has died, and their struggle to go on with their lives in the face of such a crushing loss.
Absent for years, Wendys real father shows up without warning. He takes her back with him to California, where she re-invents her life: Wendy now lives more or less on her own in a one-room apartment with a TV set and not much else. Wendys new circle now includes her fathers cactus-grower girlfriend, newly reconnected with the son she gave up for adoption twenty years before; a sad and tender bookstore owner who introduces her to the voice of Anne Frank and to his autistic son; and a homeless skateboarder, on a mission to find his long-lost brother.
Over the winter and spring that follow, Wendy moves between the alternately painful and reassuring memories of her mother and the revelations that come with growing to know her real father for the first time. Pulled between her old life in Brooklyn and a new one 3,000 miles away, our heroine is faced with a world where the usual rules no longer apply but eventually discovers a strength and capacity for compassion and survival that she never knew she possessed.
At the core of the story is Wendys deep connection with her little brother, back in New York, who is grieving the loss of their mother without her. This is a story about the ties of siblings, about children who lose their parents, parents who lose their children, and the unexpected ways they sometimes find one another again. Set against the backdrop of global and personal tragedy, and written in a style alternately wry and heartbreaking, The Usual Rules is an unexpectedly hopeful story of healing and forgiveness that will offer readers, young and old alike, a picture of how, out of the rubble, a family rebuilds its life.
Joyce Maynard has been a journalist and fiction writer for many years. Her books include the novel To Die For and the memoir At Home in the World. She lives in Mill Valley, California.

Описание:

The New York Times bestselling author of Labor Day and After Her returns with a provocative, complex, and relentlessly gripping novel about emotional seduction and betrayal. Under the Influence asks: Where do the boundaries of friendship lie? And at what point does generosity become a form of deadly manipulation?

When Helen meets Swift and Ava Havilland at an art gallery opening, her life is at an all-time low. A DUI conviction caused her to lose her driver s license and custody of her eight-year-old son, Oliver. Now she sees Ollie on Saturdays for bowling and laser tag and meals in fast-food restaurants, where his eyes stay glued to the screen of his portable gaming device. He hasn t forgiven his mother for messing up their life. She s got a dead-end job and goes on occasional dates, but spends most evenings at AA meetings. The Havillands change all that.

Ava and Swift are wealthy, charismatic philanthropists passionate animal lovers and passionate lovers of each other, it seems. Their art-filled home is the setting for frequent over-the-top parties. Nobody talks about why Ava s in a wheelchair, but her disability doesn t keep her from bestowing kindness on the homeless and the helpless, and devising elaborate save-the-world projects. Though Ava specializes in rescuing dogs, this time she decides to rescue Helen. We re going to give you a life, she announces.

The Havillands quickly become the center of Helen s world, as she takes on jobs for them and joins their glamorous inner circle dressing in Ava s hand-me-downs, entertaining the couple with stories of disastrous dates, cataloging their art collection, sharing meals and increasingly intimate confidences.

Then Helen meets Elliot a quiet, uncool accountant the Havillands dismiss as boring. Helen might be falling in love with him, but her new best friends disapprove and cause Helen to distrust her own heart.

Most compelling, for Helen, is what her friendship with the Havillands has meant to her relationship with her son. Ollie has fallen under Swift s spell; the lonely boy looks up to the larger-than-life man who treats him like a second son. And Swift has promised Helen the services of a high-powered attorney to help her regain custody.

Then tragedy strikes: Ollie witnesses a devastating accident at the Havillands lake house. Now Helen and Ollie must pay up for the generosity of Helen s new friends. Or pay dearly if they refuse.

Praise For Joyce Maynard

Under The Influence

Tantalizing and seductive. . . . A story about the pull of consuming friendships, of seeking to escape into the lives of others, of possession and illusion. . . . Utterly captivating. Megan Abbott, Edgar Award winning author of Dare Me and The Fever

After Her

A deeply moving novel that sheds necessary light on that sometimes tenuous

yet fiercely enduring love between daughters and fathers. ANDRE DUBUS III

The Good Daughters

Maynard s spare prose packs a rich emotional punch. . . . A can t-put-it-down mystery. People

Labor Day

Labor Day is a sexy, page-turning, poignant story told by a sweetly baffled young hero, perhaps the best kind of hero to narrate any tale. JANE HAMILTON, author of Laura Rider s Masterpiece and A Map of the World"

Описание:

Summer, 1979. A hot, Northern California school vacation stretches before Rachel and her younger sister Patty--the daughters of a larger-than-life, irresistibly handsome detective father and the mother whose heart he broke.

Left to their own devices, the sisters spend their days studying record jackets, concocting elaborate fantasies about a mysterious neighbor, and playing dangerous games on the mountain that looms behind their house.

When young women start turning up dead on the mountain, the girls' father is put in charge of finding the murderer. Watching her father's life slowly unravel as months pass and more women are killed, Rachel embarks on her most dangerous game yet . . . using herself as bait to catch the killer. But, rather than cracking the case, the consequences of Rachel's actions will destroy her father's career and alter forever the lives of everyone she loves.

Thirty years later, still haunted by the belief that the killer remains at large, Rachel constructs a new strategy to smoke out the Sunset Strangler and vindicate her father--a plan that unexpectedly unearths a long-buried family secret.
