A look behind the front doors on Giffort Street...
The neighbors reappear from story to story, just like they do in any neighborhood.
Bernice and Arnold Whittaker wonder why their trusted nanny, who always knows everything before everyone else, suddenly leaves without giving notice. Dale Kenway has a reason for being uncomfortable when the neighbors treat him like a Korean War hero. The Mastersons have no idea of what their daughter is doing while they are out. There are unexpected consequences at the Danahys, who are fighting the Vietnam War in their living room.
And nothing-absolutely nothing-can prepare you for the shocking public lesson that Lillian Levinson teaches her spoiled adult son because she doesn't have a tea bag.
After you settle in on Giffort Street, you won't want to leave

"The book is by turns humorous, witty, moving, upbeat. Jenny is a warm, sensitive heroine. It's a pleasure to watch her and a privilege to eavesdrop on her thoughts. Highly recommended..." LIBRARY JOURNAL
Jenny Weaver's husband committed suicide. She's spending more time with him now than she did when he was alive.
A year after her husband's suicide, Jenny impulsively moves from the Northeast to California. Her young children adjust to the move, but she does not. She has made only one friend, and she's finding it difficult being a single mother.
In a moment of deep frustration and loneliness, she begins writing to her dead husband, Richard, telling him about her daily life. She holds nothing back, even telling him when she begins a new romance.
Jenny also writes about the past. She looks back at their marriage and family life, and begins to see how it went wrong. As she gets closer to the truth and the past becomes threatening, she decides not to write to him anymore. But she finds it impossible to stop. The answer to their children's question-- "How-and why-did-Daddy-die?"-- is in the past, and she can't hide from the truth forever.
In this intimate, compelling novel, a young widow discovers her own strength and identity after the devastating loss of her husband. Realities was a selection of the Swedish Book-of-the-Month Club.
"The author endows Jenny and her circle with attributes that make them linger in one's memory." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Описание:
Tension and drama run high at this writers' conference, a novel that takes an inside look at the world of traditional publishing, exposing its secrets.
After Laura Belmont finishes writing her first novel she goes to the Clymer Workshop, one of the oldest writers' conferences in the country. Her plan is to make a connection with one of the famous staff authors who will help her get a literary agent.
She soon discovers that most of the people at the conference are attending for the same reason she is there: they want a publishing contract. But the male writers on the staff are more interested in her body than in her manuscript. She goes to creative writing workshops unaware of the literary politics being played in the shadows by the famous authors teaching her--the favors made, the courtesies given, the grudges held. Even an author's wife becomes fair game.
Laura begins to think that she's made an expensive mistake. The only offer she gets comes with a veiled threat. Then something extraordinary happens that makes her change her mind.
"The twists of the plot are unexpected; there is so much information about the realities of the publishing world; and her characters' dark sides and hope breathe life into a well-constructed novel. A great read."Lillian Bloom
