Book Description
Six young girls stepping out into a scary world, from very different backgrounds and circumstances, and yet, they bond together and succeed despite obstacles. This short novella introduces you to each of the friends: Tamara comes across to the world as tough and indomitable, but she’s vulnerable and scared underneath. Despite that, she is determined to make her way in the world and applies some interesting methods to avoid her wedding day and fiancé. Willow is a gentle soul who is searching for her way. She refuses to be a pawn in her father’s career and love life anymore. She slowly builds up her business as a YouTube sensation – then is sent notice of a relative she’d never heard of! Naya is possibly the most tender of these ladies, but she hides it well – at least from everyone except for the man who unexpectedly steps into her life. But she hides her real self from the world with a defiant lift of her chin and barrels forward. Lana is a fabulous artist but not the best when it comes to running her father’s business. She’s proud and loyal – almost to her detriment. Ella is oblivious to caution! She pushes through life as if there are no obstacles. Her determination to reveal all the wrongs in the world leads to her success, but also leads her to a man she can’t control. Cassandra (Cassy) is deeply wounded by her past, but refuses to allow it to hinder her ambition. She’s tough and determined – as well as soft and tender when she falls in love.

Secrets. Lies. And a mysterious house… Heiress Willow Jackson didn’t do commitment. Her father was on his fifth…or maybe sixth…wife, so Willow had seen too often how lives could be destroyed by marriage and infidelity. But when she discovers that she’s inherited a house…from a grandmother her father hadn’t ever told her about, Willow is determined to learn more about this mysterious woman. What she wasn’t prepared for was the tall, intimidating man snapping at her from the doorway of the creepy house. Cooper Adams stepped into Willow’s life, big and terrifyingly handsome in a scary, sexy way. He wasn’t ready for the intense awareness and yearning that she would provoke inside of him. And Willow definitely wasn’t prepared for the sweet, caring way that Cooper took care of his grandmother, showing her that men weren’t all idiots and jerks. But could Willow take a chance on Cooper? Did she dare to uproot her whole life, knowing that marriage and love were only temporary things?

Everything I Have Is Yours
Author: Eleanor Henderson
Publisher: Flatiron Books
ISBN: 1250787955
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2021 • From New York Times bestselling author Eleanor Henderson comes a turbulent love story meets harrowing medical mystery: the true story of the author’s twenty-year marriage defined by her husband’s chronic illness—and a testament to the endurance of love Eleanor met Aaron when she was just a teenager and he was working at a local record stored—older, experienced, and irresistibly charming. Escaping the clichés of fleeting young love, their summer romance bloomed into a relationship that survived college and culminated in a marriage and two children. From the outside looking in, their life had all the trappings of what most would consider a success story. But, as in any marriage, things weren’t always as they seemed. On top of the typical stresses of parenting, money, and work, there were the untended wounds of depression, addiction, and childhood trauma. And then one day, out of nowhere: a rash appeared on Aaron’s arms. Soon, it had morphed into painful lesions covering his body. Eleanor was as baffled as the doctors. There was no obvious diagnosis, let alone a cure. And as years passed and the lesions gave way to Aaron’s increasingly disturbed concerns about the source of his sickness, the husband she loved seemed to unravel before her eyes. A new fissure ruptured in their marriage, and new questions piled onto old ones: Where does physical illness end and mental illness begin? Where does one person end and another begin? And how do we exist alongside someone else’s suffering? Emotional, intimate, and at times agonizing, Everything I Have Is Yours tells the story of a marriage tested by powerful forces outside both partners’ control. It’s not only a memoir of a wife’s tireless quest to heal her husband, but also one that asks just what it means to accept someone as they are.
