Gayle Saunders and Patricia Reid have been lifelong friends, as close as sisters. When they were teens their dreams led them down separate paths and away from each other. But they reunited as adults, drawn back together by a bond of friendship that stood the test of time.
Now Pat and Gayle co-own the Ell & Me Company, a business they founded based on a character Gayle created years ago for her daughter. Things are going well, but real-life dramas ensue as each must face issues from the past in order to protect the future.
Pat and Marcus look like the perfect twenty-first-century couple – smart, talented, each at the helm of a high-profile enterprise and at the top of their game. But behind closed doors their marriage is challenged by the stresses of a two-entrepreneur household. Will their professional pursuits leave them time for each other and a family, or carry them into the arms of others? Will a paternity claim prove to be too much of an obstacle to overcome?
Gayle faces her own family drama and struggles to maintain control of her life. Despite dating other men, has she ever really gotten over her ex-husband, Ramsey, the gambler who left her and their daughter, Vanessa, in financial ruin? Gayle bends over backward to provide a stable, comfortable home for Vanessa, and support her dream of becoming a dancer. And Vanessa, a rebellious and hurtful teen, seems just as devoted to making Gayle pay for every mistake she has ever made. And what ever happened to Ramsey?
In Gotta Keep on Tryin’, Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant bring us heroines who remind you, for better and worse, of women everywhere – women who know that true friendship keeps us grounded. And when things get rough the bond between women can be stronger than any trials we face. Exclusive On-Line Price!:

They were sisters once.
Almost forty years ago, in a more innocent time, two girls enter the convent. Angelina and Joanna come from vastly different backgrounds, but they have one thing in common — a desire to serve, to join in the community of sisters.
Despite the relative seclusion of the convent house in Minneapolis, they’re not immune to what’s happening in the world around them. In 1972 Angie’s involvement with a pregnant teenager triggers a crisis of faith. At the same time, Joanna’s relationship with a Vietnam veteran brings her face-to-face with the choices she made — and didn’t make — in her own life.
Then, Angie and Joanna leave the sisterhood, abandoning the convent for the exciting and confusing world outside. The world of choices to be made, of risks to be taken. Of men and romantic love. The world of ordinary women…
Debbie Macomber illuminates women’s lives with compassion, with love and with grace.
In Changing Habits she proves once again why she’s one of the world’s most popular writers of fiction for — and about — women.

BEAUTIFUL SUMMER DAY , crowds lined up outside a theater witness a sudden act of extreme road rage: a tap on a fender triggers a nearly homicidal attack. Jackson Brodie, ex-cop, ex-private detective, new millionaire, is among the bystanders.The event thrusts Jackson into the orbit of the wife of an unscrupulous real estate tycoon, a washed-up comedian, a successful crime novelist, a mysterious Russian woman, and a female police detective. Each of them hiding a secret, each looking for love or money or redemption or escape, they all play a role in driving Jackson out of retirement and into the middle of several mysteries that intersect in one sinister scheme.
Kate Atkinson “writes such fluid, sparkling prose that an ingenious plot almost seems too much to ask, but we get it anyway,” writes Laura Miller for Salon. With a keen eye for the excesses of modern life, a warm understanding of the frailities of the human heart and a genius for plots that twist and turn. that turn and twist, Atkinson has written a novel that delights and surprises.
KATE ATKINSON’S first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum, won the Whitbread’ First Novel Award and was then chosen as the 1995 Whitbread Book of the Year. She is the author of a short-story collection, Not the End of the World, and three other critically
acclaimed novels, Human Croquet, Emotionally Weird, and Case Histories. She lives in Edinburgh.
“I am an enormous fan of Kate Atkinson’s. One thing I’ve said about her is that she abides by Henry James’s maxim: the first task of the novel is to be interesting. Her plots are rollicking” and engaging, flawlessly constructed, filled with hooks and secrets. That she’s able to pull that off with characters who are real and sympathetic, who are involved in moving entanglements, is a little miracle.” – HAVEN KIMMEL
