Hi, Donna, Kim here with my proofreading hat off and with my curiosity in
full operational mode. I'm writing to know if you found the first book of
the Angelini series by Jory Strong. I personally don't care, but my
completist soul hates to see gaps in series. It niggles at me shamefully. I
found out there was a first book by checking out fantasticfiction.com. What
a fun site. I don't know if you are scanning or proofreading, but I thought
you should know just in case you have a completist soul as well. Regards,
Kim.

Oh, good! I haven't read it yet, you'll have to let me know if it's good.
I like her books a lot, too.
Take care,
Donna

Hi all,
Well, it took me long enough, but I finally got The Story Sisters, By Alice
Hoffman submitted. Here's the long synopsis in case anyone's interested.
Best,
Donna
Long Synopsis:
From the New York Times Bestselling Author of The Third Angel Alice
Hoffman's previous novel,The Third Angel, was hailed as "an unforgettable
portrait of the depth of true love" (USA Today), "stunning" (Jodi Picoult),
and "spellbinding" (Miami Herald). Her new novel,The Story Sisters, charts
the lives of three sisters - Elv, Claire, and Meg. Each has a fate she must
meet alone: one on a country road, one in the streets of Paris, and one in
the corridors of her own imagination. Inhabiting their world are a
charismatic man who cannot tell the truth, a neighbor who is not who he
appears to be, a clumsy boy in Paris who falls in love and stays there, a
detective who finds his heart's desire, and a demon who will not let go.
What does a mother do when one of her children goes astray? How does she
save one daughter without sacrificing the others? How deep can love go, and
how far can it take you? These are the questions this luminous novel asks.
At once a coming-of-age tale, a family saga, and a love story of erotic
longing,The Story Sisters sifts through the miraculous and the mundane as
the girls become women and their choices haunt them, change them and,
finally, redeem them. It confirms Alice Hoffman's reputation as "a writer
whose keen ear for the measure struck by the beat of the human heart is
unparalleled" (The Chicago Tribune).
