Her marriage to Quentin shattered by his confession that he is
bisexual and in love with another man, Sheridan Hart struggles to
cope with their compromised business partnership and the emotional
reactions of their son and daughter.
There are four ways a woman can handle heartbreak. She can fall

story of these four women:
When Kendall Stewart finds her husband and her sister in bed
together, she vows to never let anyone get that close again. But
when she is faced with saving the life of the woman who destroyed
hers, will she be able to forgive?
When an NBA superstar tells his mistress, Asia Ingrum, that he's
decided to honor his marriage vows, her shock quickly gives way to
revenge...but her decision may come back to haunt their
five-year-old daughter.
Every night Vanessa Martin wonders why her husband committed
suicide. Even worse, she contemplates joining him in eternity. Will
Vanessa be able to gather the strength to live again?
Sheridan Hart is finally finding her way after a lie destroyed
her seventeen-year marriage. Her new love is ready to get married,
but will she commit to this younger man or is her ex-husband taking
up too much space in her heart?
When their pastor asks Kendall, Asia, Vanessa, and Sheridan to
meet weekly for prayer, they can't imagine they will have anything
in common. But then a devastating tragedy strikes and these
strangers are forced to reexamine their choices. Will they find
true friendship, or will prayer -- and their union -- fail
them?
In this emotionally charged and inspiring novel about a love

Since the success of Philadelphia, Here I Come! in 1964, Brian Friel has written over twenty plays, and whose critical and public acclaim place him among the major dramatist of the 20th century. But Friel had written plays and short stories before that, giving up his teaching job to become a full-time writer in 1960 and living for part of that time in the United States.
This collection of essays, diary extracts and interviews from 1964 to 1999 delves into his work and life both before and after his landmark play. Highlighting his working processes and analyzing the work in relation to both social and political sensibilities, the volume offers a wealth of material in celebration of a writer described by the Observer as "the most profound and poetic of contemporary Irish dramatists."
The next installment in "The Faber Critical Guides Series": An
in-depth look at the maverick Irish playwright
Sean O'Casey was one of the most affecting playwrights of his
generation; a renegade who came of age at the dawn of Ireland's
fight for independence from Britain and championed the
working-class during the bleak years of The Great Depression.
Praised for his genius-ear for dialogue and the poetry of his
prose, O'Casey's work brought audiences into the gritty,
impoverished world of Dublin's streets and pubs. His controversial
plays helped establish the reputation of the internationally
renowned Abbey Theatre, where the productions of "The Plough and
the Stars" and "Juno and the Paycock" were met with riots and
vigorous protests.
In "Sean O'Casey," Christopher Murray examines the abovementioned
works as well as "The Shadow of a Gunman," which taken together
comprise O'Casey's famed Dublin trilogy, and elucidates the social
context of the plays and the theatrical environment of the
times--crucial elements in understanding O'Casey's writing.
Have the sins of the mother come upon the daughter?
Jasmine Larson Bush is finally living a drama-free life. She's left
her lying, cheating, stealing stripper days behind and is standing
by her husband's side as the first lady of one of the largest
churches in New York City. The Bushes have been blessed with the
best of everything--including two lovely children.
But just when Jasmine has committed her life completely to God, her
daughter Jacqueline is kidnapped from a mall the day after
Thanksgiving. The police and the church community join in the
frantic search to find the four-year-old. As the days pass without
any sign of her daughter, Jasmine begins to crack under the strain
and turns to Brian Lewis, Jacqueline's biological father, for
solace.
Has Jasmine's past finally caught up to her? Will her daughter be
found or will Jasmine pay the ultimate price?
Jasmine Larson Bush returns to her devious ways in this tale of two
marriages -- each threatened by lies and betrayal. She took
marriage vows to be honest and true, but Jasmine's still hiding
secrets to keep her husband, Minister Hosea Bush, by her side. When
Hosea's ex-fiancee, Natasia, suddenly appears in New York, Jasmine
knows it's not a coincidence. A former manstealer herself, Jasmine
is very aware of Natasia's motives -- even if Hosea is not.
Complicating Jasmine's life is the secret she's kept from her
baby's daddy. Luckily for her, Brian Lewis has problems of his own.
His wife, Alexis, is convinced he's cheating on her -- but Brian's
real betrayal is much worse. Revealing the truth to his wife could
lead him back to the biggest mistake of his life...Jasmine. Two
marriages are in desperate jeopardy. Will Jasmine be able to scheme
to save her own? Or will she have to choose between protecting her
past and compromising her future? Even if Jasmine and Brian find
the courage to stop the lies, it may be too little, too late....
