Fifteen short stories including "Erice," William Faulkner-William Wisdom finalist. Mothers, sons, fathers, sisters, lovers, and friends. On some days, those who are closest to us behave oddly and act like strangers, and on other days, we are surprised by our own behavior. Set in the South, California, Italy, and Belgium, these stories are populated with characters facing inner and outer journeys that don't go as planned. --Why did Sadie's mother run away? And when will she return? --Must a teenager learn the truth about her daddy the hard way? --What lengths will a widow go to in order to avoid loneliness and her nosy neighbor? --In a California butterfly grove, what will a mother think of her son's date? --Why must a bride's rehearsal dinner feel like a Hatfield-McCoy moment? --Will an out-of-work actor go nuts while he awaits his agent's phone call? --On a train ride in Belgium, can a mother and son trust a talkative postcard salesman they encounter? --To what lengths will a new husband go to please his wife on their Sicilian honeymoon? --What kind of trouble can a restless wife find at a laundromat in Rome? In these tales, some humorous and others edgy, characters discover they really don't know those who are closest, while sometimes a stranger offers the gift of hope.

In The Beloved Son, one family must cope with life’s ever-changing moments as two sons are faced with the issue of their aging parents. Karl Preston lives an ideal American life with his wife and daughter in an affluent North Carolina suburb. At his father’s request, Karl travels to Florida for a weekend visit that starts a roller coaster of family drama and heartache. Not only does Karl have to deal with his gay brother, Sven, who is the primary caretaker of their parents, he must also confront his mother’s growing dementia. Richly told, lyrically written, this is a poignant portrait of the modern-day family and how responsibility trumps resentment. Jay Quinn’s Lambda-nominated novels transcend traditional gay fiction, exploring universal issues of marriage, aging parents, addiction, and attraction, all while presenting unique characters and page-turning drama. Don’t miss any of Quinn’s novels: Metes and Bounds, Back Where He Started, The Good Neighbor, The Beloved Son, and The Boomerang Kid.

Interfaith marriage is a visible and often controversial part of American life--and one with a significant history. This is the first historical study of religious diversity in the home. Anne Rose draws a vivid picture of interfaith marriages over the century before World War I, their problems and their social consequences. She shows how mixed-faith families became agents of change in a culture moving toward pluralism. Following them over several generations, Rose tracks the experiences of twenty-six interfaith families who recorded their thoughts and feelings in letters, journals, and memoirs. She examines the decisions husbands and wives made about religious commitment, their relationships with the extended families on both sides, and their convictions. These couples--who came from strong Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish backgrounds--did not turn away from religion but made personalized adjustments in religious observance. Increasingly, the author notes, women took charge of religion in the home. Rose's family-centered look at private religious decisions and practice gives new insight on American society in a period when it was becoming more open, more diverse, and less community-bound.

By all rights they should never have met—shy and lovely Susan Morgan, and Ricardo Montoya, baseball’s hottest superstar. But a winter storm brought them together, and in the glow of firelight, they discovered a magical passion. It should have ended there—their worlds were so far apart they could never expect to share more than a beautiful memory. But fate took a hand, and suddenly Susan found that her love had a chance…if only she were strong enough to grasp it…

A wounded warrior and a beautiful English border thief battle treachery, betrayal, and their own warring hearts to satisfy a dangerous, passionate love As the battle at Flodden Field rages, Lachlan Maclean rides with King James IV of Scotland, sworn to vanquish their English enemies and find redemption for the past that haunts him. But as the battlefield runs red with blood, Lachlan realizes they’re fighting a losing battle. Thrown from his horse, he awakens to find a lovely angel of mercy tending him . . . and no memory of who he is. Once, Kimbra Charlton rode alongside her husband on daring border raids that targeted English and Scottish alike. Now the desperate widow combs battlefields for anything of value to make sure she and her young daughter survive. When she stumbles on a wounded soldier, she recognizes the armor and helmet of her people’s sworn enemy. A Scotsman killed her husband, yet she can’t let this man die—nor can the world know his true heritage. It is a secret on which both their lives depend. But as passion ignites between them, they must face the consequences of their impossible love. Beloved Stranger is the 2nd book in the Scottish Highland series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

In "Children and Other Strangers, "Ruth Szold Ginzberg offers a personal view of modern women who now have choices concerning marriage, child-rearing, and families. It is written from the perspective and experiences of a mother of three who belongs to the generation of women who came of age in the 1940s and who had little choice but to follow the socially prescribed path of domesticity. Combining analysis, autobiography, and humor in equal parts, this book is a pleasure to read as well as a clear-eyed look at a critically important subject. The author proceeds from the provocative assumption that the women's revolution is the most important social development of the twentieth century. In the experience of many women, the defining questions of that revolution turned on personal issues of marriage and motherhood as much as on the public issues of political and economic equality. Today such personal issues are largely determined by free personal choice; it is possible for couples to maintain a close emotional bond without entering into a marriage arrangement. In Ruth Ginzberg's view the only appropriate reason for a woman to marry is to have children. In spite of these unprecedented freedoms, much of the book's argument maintains that young women today have little idea of what having children really connotes in terms of loss of freedom for the mother, constraints on her time and energy, the disruptions that children introduce into adult relationships, and above all that once a mother, the bond is for life. "Children and Other Strangers is "a memoir rich in wisdom and perception. It will be of interest to women's studies specialists, psychologists, and social workers.
