The Circle Broken

By: Dorothy Carvello

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Cee Cee Porter came to Nashville as a young woman with a handful of love songs she’d written for her husband, Bucky, and a dream of joining the ranks of country music queens. After one of the songs became a hit, Bucky convinced her to trade her career for a family. Meanwhile, he founded DMG Records and became a major power player in Nashville. Now their marriage is falling apart. Like a good, Southern, Christian woman, Cee Cee does everything she can to save it. But when Bucky signs the young Australian phenomenon Michael Jennings, Cee Cee’s world is upended. As she tries to create a life above Nashville’s hypocritical moral stricture, she is menaced at every turn. A fast-paced, complex, true-to-life story, The Circle Broken captures what it’s really like to be in the music business: the fame, the debauchery, the manipulation, and the duplicity. It is a dramatic exploration of the psychology of money and power, illuminating the struggle of women trying to rise in a male-dominated world. Most importantly, it is a story about identity and about how trauma is passed from generation to generation, like a song no one can stop singing. Can the circle ever be broken?

Reared in a Greenhouse

The StoriesNand StoryNof Dorothy Winthrop Bradford

By: Dorothy B. Wexler

Beloved as the family storyteller, Dorothy Winthrop Bradford left behind at her death in 1987 diaries, letters, scrapbooks and memorabilia that date back to the Civil War and provide a picture of a way of life long gone - of a period when leisure time was plentiful and cars were few, when her hometown of Hamilton, Massachusetts was open country and Boston a closed society. These materials provide an intimate view of the vanished lifestyle of the upper classes between the two world wars. At the heart of the story is Dorothy Bradford's own life, and the 82 years she spent in the small town where she was born. It was a life, however, set against the vast canvas of her extened family, whose stories transport the reader back to colonial times, where one of her ancestors was the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and far across America and to the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa. From the Civil War to the Second World War, from turn-of-the-century Puerto Rico to the glories of the still-unspoiled West, the book is a virtual who's who of American h istory, filled with cameos by Teddy Roosevelt, Edith Wharton, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry James, Thomas Jefferson, and many more. Richly illustrated with more than 300 photographs, this intriguing volume looks at a woman who's life may have seemed, on the surface, narrow and predictable, but in reality, touched upon many of the great currents of American history.

Glass Angels

By: Dorothy Musmanno

Once in every girl's life there comes a time when the woman separates from the child and a third person is born. This is a story of first love and first betrayals but it is also a multifaceted mystery that unfolds one layer at a time. Colleen, a high-spirited but self-doubting schemer and Abby, precocious and sarcastic, are attempting to pass the summer at the Geneva Resort until the beautiful Sara arrives and disrupts Collen's plans for romance. The pair instinctively dislike the eye-catching Sara who has come to hide from a past that even she can not remember. Only the self-assured Mavis seems to warm to the girl. But they will all soon learn the fragility of life when one of the young girls at the resort turns up missing. This is a tale rich in startling parallels between several seemingly diverse girls, whose lives are all connected through memories of maternal loss, complicated by duplicity and guilt. At the same time they are precariously trying to mature into womanhood and endeavoring not to get broken in the process. As time passes they begin to investigate the disappearance of Michelle in an effort to clear one of their friends. They inadvertently unravel the mystery, only to discover a truth too horrible to imagine. While struggling to come to grips with their own anonymity, they must find the courage to disconnect from their mothers' influences and prove to themselves that they are not 'glass angels' after all. This is not a coming of age book but rather a sweet road to maturity filled with poignant yet often humorous insights into a young woman's mind.

Cover Of Darkness

By: Dorothy O'Malia

Having travel through Europe and Ruric for the past five years, and finding no trace of my ‘lost’ family, I returned to this frozen land, from where I started five years back for reason, I know not. My depressed mind centered on the failure of my mission. I thought to stay until spring, and decide then whether to look further, or abort my search.

Taming the Stallion

By: Dorothy Callahan

Peace Officer Raylie McPherson’s mission in life is to protect animals from abuse, and if that means throwing the abusers in jail, so be it. So when the report of two downed horses comes in - from renowned Starstruck Stables, nonetheless - Raylie assumes she can make a quick headline arrest. Despite having to face her horror from the last time she rode, making her relive her fiancé’s death every time she sets foot in a stable, she is determined to do her job. Her coworker swears the owner is innocent, but Raylie’s experience tells her he simply can’t be. But the suspect is anguished, grieving, and too rich to need the insurance money. Ashton Lyre is devastated over the loss of his two favorite horses—a money maker and a brat. So he’s surprised that the pretty Peace Officer accuses him of the foul deed—for money, no less. She fears his horses, which intrigues him, for she’s obviously ridden before. However, he knows he must be cautious, for he just discovered his very empire was built on shaky ground. Should the pretty cop learn of his fraudulent start, he fears everything he owns could be forfeited, and every case that dips into his past dredges up his fears. Sensuality Level: Sensual

The Thin Woman

By: Dorothy Cannell

In the delectable debut that earned her instant acclaim, award-winning author Dorothy Cannell serves up a murder mystery to be savored. . . Ellie Simons longs to be thin—and married. But with her single-minded passion for éclairs and clotted cream, her prospects on both counts seem dim. That's why the summons to attend a family reunion at the old ancestral home is about as welcome as a snakebite. How can she show up with her embarrassingly full figure in her humble unmarried state and keep her chins up? Enter Bentley T. Haskell of Eligibility Escorts, a devastatingly attractive writer of smutty novels who also cooks like a dream. With Bentley posing as her besotted beau, Ellie feels brave enough to beard her batty relations in their den. . . . But mouldering Merlin's Court is nothing like Ellie remembers, and with her wretchedly beautiful cousin Vanessa making eyes at Ben, and her malevolent old uncle Merlin popping up in the most unexpected places, it's enough to put Ellie off her food. And the best—and worst—is yet to come, as the weekend leads to sudden death, unexpected romance, and a treasure hunt that promises epicurean Ellie wealth, hearth, and happiness . . . if she survives. Praise for The Thin Woman “[Dorothy] Cannell makes a delicious debut; discriminatory whodunit fans will want more of her inventions.”—Publishers Weekly “A likable debut—combining fairy-tale romance, treasure hunts, and a homicidal mania.”—Kirkus Reviews
