This is a heartrending memoir of a man who is lost but finds his way by honestly confronting his greatest fears. Jinxed by Carol Higgins Clark When 93 year old Lucretia decides to marry a con man 40 years her junior she wants her extended family around her to share in her happiness and wealth. Private investigator Regan Reilly is back, hired to find Freshness, a.k.a. Whitney Weldon, the step-granddaughter of dot.com millionaire Lucretia. Ulterior motives abound in this entertaining and light story. Man and Wife by Tony Parsons Man and Wife continues the story begun with Tony Parson's first novel, Man and Boy. The "Man" of both titles, Harry Silver, was introduced to us in Man and Boy as a married man with a young son and then, through faults all his own, a divorced single father looking for new love. With Man and Wife, Parson's has created a tale of modem family life which, despite all the ups & downs of 'blended families', provides many opportunities for laughter, as well as the requisite tears. Highly recommended. Ariel's Crossing by Bradford Morrow Morrow continues his story from Trinity Fields about two young boys Kip and Brice, who eventually fall in love with the same woman. Brice becomes an anti-war activist and lawyer, marrying Jessica and having a daughter Ariel. Kip goes off to fight in Vietnam and then disappears. Twenty-four years later Ariel finds out that Kip is really her biological father. The story twists and turns sometimes in a confusing manner from New York to New Mexico, as Ariel tries to find her father and consequently consequently has several adventures along the way. Not a fast read, but worth the time invested. A Wing and a Prayer by Lyn Andrews. Mary Callaghan's life has been tough and hard. Her marriage to husband Jack has been a disappointment as he is a hard-drinking hard-drinking spender who doesn't give her the love and attention she craves.
