Joy Fielding Lot of 9 Best-Sellers Joy Fielding has said that "writing is the only thing that gives her “complete control”. Unlike real people, characters do as they are told and do not talk back so far." Her characters are so repeatable and down-to-earth readers easily understand what each of the women are going through in the novels and most clearly identify with them in one way or another. This lot of 9 includes her two most popular and well-known books. "The 1982 novel Kiss Mommy Goodbye was one of Joy’s first main publications. It is a psychological thriller concerning the battle for custody of the children of a divorced couple. The heroine of the story is Donna Cressy, loving mother of Adam and Sharon. A victim of mental abuse by her husband Victor Cressy, Donna files for divorce and custody of the children. Traumatized by her abuse, Donna is noticed to be acting oddly which raised concerns during the evidence proceedings. Several people testify that she has been behaving oddly since her marriage to Victor. Despite this, Donna manages to win custody of her children, though Victor is permitted weekend visits. Donna and her two children later move in with Dr Segal, Donna’s new boyfriend, and his daughter Annie. One evening, under the pretext of a normal weekend visit, Victor kidnaps Adam and Sharon. Horrified, Donna spirals into a deep depression and her odd behavior returns. At her lowest point, she receives a phone call from Victor, who she tracks to California. Upon finding her children, Victor almost kills them, but with the help of Dr. Segal, she is able to escape with her children and survive." The plot of the 1992 novel See Jane Run revolves around Jane Whittaker, who, at the outset of the novel, finds herself at a grocery store. She is suffering from amnesia and cannot remember any details about herself. Her name, her past, or any personal details about her life are all wiped from her mind. Despite this, she can remember some arbitrary things such as the mathematical formula used to find the length of a triangle’s hypotenuse. In her bloodstained blue dress she finds over ten thousand dollars in cash. Terrified, she makes her way to the local police precinct where she is reunited with a charming man who is claiming that he is her husband. The man, Dr. Whittaker takes a confused Jane back home to their suburban house to try to recover from the trauma. Joy cannot help but feel a terrifying premonition that something truly terribly is about to unfold. Unable able to find rest, Jane begins to unwrap the terrible events that her mind had hidden from her."
