Transform Your Man, Your Marriage, Your Life

The perfect companion book for the woman who wants to ensure herself--and her man--that the marital happiness and satisfaction she dreams of is possible.

With The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands Dr. Laura helped hundreds of thousands of readers make good marriages even better and saved many from the brink of divorce. Now, she expands on that bestseller with more insight into the special power women have to transform their husbands, their marriages, and their lives.

Through a series of provocative chapters and Q&As, Dr. Laura guides women on how to assess what is valuable and what is vulnerable in their marriages, and encourages them to think about what is really important about being a woman, a wife, and a mother. In addition, readers will find inspirational stories and tips, thought-provoking essays, and space for entries and journals. Dr. Laura sums it up best: "Woman Power is part standard book, part journal, part workbook, and all a positive way to take the basic concepts from The Proper Care and expand and reinforce those ideas to help you transform your life, and that of your family, into the spiritually sound and satisfying experience it can be."

Confessions of a Serial Wife

Despite her many years of offering relationship advice as a syndicated columnist--not to mention her pedigree as the daughter of the woman the world revered as Ann Landers-- Margo Howard had to walk down the aisle four times before getting it right.

Now the outspoken and witty Howard shares the sometimes rueful, always optimistic story of her adventures in pursuit of the perfect mate. Eat Drink and Remarry is the candid, funny no-holds-barred memoir of Howard's enduring belief in marriage as an institution--despite the often contrary evidence of her own experience. As she chronicles the courtships, marriages, dalliances and divorces that shaped her adulthood, she recalls people and events that left their mark on her life, including her famous (and frank) mother her children and a host of colleagues, from prize-winning journalists and scientists to Hollywood stars.

Eat, Drink and Remarry is an endearing book about second (and third and fourth) chances, about the sometimes cockeyed optimism of love and about finding what's right for you--no matter how long it takes.

A Novel

n her sizzling new novel, Tama Janowitz moves beyond the world of the single woman, and now targets a young woman growing ever restless in her marriage, and ever hopeful that the next bed will produce someone more exciting. As she moves from man to man, Peyton Amberg slowly but surely loses her youth-fulness, her good looks, even her sanity, as her paramours become rougher. A savvy riff on the classic figure of Madame Bovary, Peyton Amberg is a caustic and brilliant satire of con-temporary marriage, as it charts the free-floating lust and exploits of a woman yearning for fulfillment outside of rigid societal structure. Peyton Amberg is nasty, funny, sarcastic, sear-ingly honest, and mesmerizing from beginning to end.

"For Love tells the story of Lottie Gardner, her brother Cameron, and their childhood friend Elizabeth, who all come together one summer in their hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts, after years of separation. The packing up of her mother's house and the rekindling of the romance between Cameron and Elizabeth lead Lottie to look back at her past, as well as to consider the future of her own new marriage. The intrusion of a senseless tragedy upon the lives of all three characters forces Lottie to examine the consequences of the things she herself has done, and will do, for love."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this powerful novel, Danielle Steel tells the story of two World War II concentration camp survivors, the life they build together, and the son who faces struggles of his own as a first-generation American determined to be his own person and achieve success.

When U.S. troops occupy Germany, friends Jakob and Emmanuelle are saved from the terrible fate of so many in the camps. With the help of sponsors, they make their way to New York. In order not to be separated, they allow their friendship to blossom into love and marriage, and start a new life on the Lower East Side, working at grueling, poorly paid jobs.

Decades later, through talent, faith, fortune, and relentless hard work, Jakob has achieved success in the diamond business, invested in real estate in New York, and shown his son, Max, that America is truly the land of opportunity. Max is a rising star, a graduate of Harvard with friends among the wealthiest, most ambitious families in the world. And while his parents were thrown together by chance, Max chooses a perfect bride to start the perfect American family.

An opulent society wedding. A honeymoon in Tahiti. A palatial home in Greenwich. Max's lavish lifestyle is unimaginable to his cautious old-world father and mother. Max wants to follow his father's example and make his own fortune. But after the birth of children, and with a failing marriage, he can no longer deny that his wife is not the woman he thought she was. Angry and afraid, Max must do what he has never done before: struggle, persevere, and learn what it means to truly walk in his father's footsteps, while pursuing his own ideals and setting an example for his children.

Moving from the ashes of postwar Europe to the Lower East Side of New York to wealth, success, and unlimited luxury, In His Father's Footsteps is a stirring tale of three generations of strong, courageous, and loving people who pay their dues to achieve their goals.

Mississippi

A hilarious and emotionally charged novel about a couple who embark on an open marriage-what could possibly go wrong? Lucy and Owen, ambitious, thoroughly-therapized New Yorkers, have taken the plunge, trading in their crazy life in a cramped apartment for Beekman, a bucolic Hudson Valley exurb. They've got a two hundred year-old house, an autistic son obsessed with the Titanic, and 17 chickens, at last count. It's the kind of paradise where stay-at-home moms team up to cook the school's "hot lunch," dads grill grass-fed burgers, and, as Lucy observes, "chopping kale has become a certain kind of American housewife's version of chopping wood." When friends at a wine-soaked dinner party reveal they've made their marriage open, sensible Lucy balks. There's a part of her, though-the part that worries she's become too comfortable being invisible-that's intrigued. Why not try a short marital experiment? Six months, clear ground rules, zero questions asked. When an affair with a man in the city begins to seem more enticing than the happily-ever-after she's known for the past nine years, Lucy must decide what truly makes her happy-"real life," or the "experiment?"

Michigan

The seemingly blind love of a wife for her husband as he conquers Wall Street, and her extraordinary, perhaps foolish, loyalty during his precipitous fall, is expertly explored in this "ripped-from-the-headlines story about love, ambition, and forgiveness" (PopSugar)--perfect for fans of the TV show Billions.

Phoebe recognizes fire in Jake Pierce's belly from the moment they meet as teenagers. After they marry and he creates a financial dynasty, she trusts him without hesitation--unaware his hunger for success hides a dark talent for deception.

But when Phoebe learns her husband's triumph and vast reach rests on an elaborate Ponzi scheme, her world unravels. While Jake is trapped in the web of his deceit, Phoebe is caught facing an unbearable choice. Her children refuse to see her if she remains at their father's side, but abandoning him feels cruel and impossible.

From penthouse to prison, with tragic consequences rippling well beyond Wall Street, Randy Susan Meyers's latest novel exposes a woman struggling to survive and then redefine her life as her world crumbles. "An engrossing emotional journey" (Kirkus Reviews) and USA TODAY bestselling author Diane Chamberlain raves, "With all the suspense of a thriller, The Widow of Wall Street quickly pulled me into the story and didn't let me go until the last page."

#paperback #europaedition #love #marriage #romance#edition

Second in the Old Filth trilogy. "An astute, subtle depiction of marriage . . . absolutely wonderful" (The Washington Post).

Acclaimed as Jane Gardam's masterpiece, Old Filth is a lyrical novel that recalls the fully lived life of Sir Edward Feathers. The Man in the Wooden Hat is the history of his marriage told from the perspective of his wife, Betty, a character as vivid and enchanting as Filth himself.
They met in Hong Kong after the war. Betty had spent the duration in a Japanese internment camp. Filth was already a successful barrister, handsome, fast becoming rich, in need of a wife but unaccustomed to romance. A perfect English couple of the late 1940s.
As a portrait of a marriage, with all the bittersweet secrets and surprising fulfillment of the fifty-year union of two remarkable people, The Man in the Wooden Hat is a triumph. Fiction of a very high order from a great novelist working at the pinnacle of her considerable power, it will be read and loved and recommended by all the many thousands of readers who found its predecessor, Old Filth, so compelling and thoroughly satisfying.

"Funny and affecting . . . It's remarkable."--The New York Times Book Review

"The latest occasion to celebrate Gardam . . . [a] superb novel."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR

"Told with quintessentially British humor . . . Gardam's prose is witty and precise."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"It's magnificent. . . . Funny, intelligent and immensely moving."--Kirkus Reviews
