When is a marriage worth saving and when is it best to let go? When
do half-truths turn into full-blown lies? When does betrayal end
and passion begin?
"Say When" is a compelling, complex novel that takes readers into
the heart of a modern marriage where companionship and intimacy,
and denial and pain, so often collide. "Of course he knew she was
seeing someone," begins the story of Frank Griffin, a man who's
willing to overlook his wife's infidelity -- "he would let her have
this, this thrilling little romance" -- for the sake of keeping his
family intact. But when the forty-year-old Ellen requests a divorce
on the basis that she has finally found true, romantic love,
Griffin must decide whether to fight or flee...or search elsewhere
for the kind of life he always dreamed of.
With Elizabeth Berg's trademark blend of rare insight, raw
emotion, and hard-won wisdom, "Say When" is a work of startling
revelation that no reader will soon forget.
Ever had one of those days? We all have. A pestering problem. A
trying trouble. A bothersome bug. Some things just can't be
ignored.
Have you ever considered the wondrous wishes of a wizard, or the
delightful dreams of a unicorn? Maybe you know what the moon dreams
about, or maybe you would like to share your own dreams...If so,
here is an opportunity to express your thoughts and imagination.
You may choose to write your dreams or draw them What ever you
choose, don't forget to dream!

the endurance of friendship--and the genuine power of hope. Filled

This wonderful novel transports us to Nazareth in biblical times,
where we meet Mary and Joseph-and understand them as never before:
young, in love, and suddenly faced with an unexpected pregnancy.
Aided by a great and abiding love, they endure challenges to their
relationship as well as threats to their lives as they come to
terms with the mysterious circumstances surrounding the birth of
their child, Jesus. For Mary, the pregnancy is a divine miracle and
a privilege. For Joseph, it is an ongoing test of his faith-in his
wife as well as in his God. Exquisitely written and imbued with
emotional truth and richness of detail, "The Handmaid and the
Carpenter "explores lives touched profoundly by miracles large and
small.
Praise for "The Handmaid and the Carpenter"
"The oldest story ever told becomes fresh, even modern. [Grade: ]
A."
"-Entertainment Weekly"
"Poetic, reflective, and intricate . . . There is a crystalline
humanity, a logical vulnerability in [Elizabeth] Berg's imaginative
interpretation [that] brings novel resplendence to a familiar
story."
"-Booklist"
"Sweetly lyrical and yet movingly realistic."
"-New York Daily News"
"[Berg] movingly takes the story of the least ordinary couple in
history, and by respectfully evoking the rhythms and rituals
of
daily life, makes them more human, yet no less transcendent."
"-Richmond Times-Dispatch"
"Imaginative and compelling."
"-Star Ledger"
