Paperback. Zustand: Good. Daniel Emerson lives with Kate Ellis, and he is like a father to her daughter, Ruby. But he cannot control his desire for Iris Davenport, the African-American woman whose son is Ruby's best friend. Having fled a violent encounter in Manhattan for a modest practice in Leyden, Daniel finds his domestic peace unraveling with every morning drive to day care. Iris endures an uneasy marriage to an aloof financier who commutes home only on weekends. At Marlowe College, she struggles to anchor her graduate studies, caught in a restless confusion that family pedigree cannot cure. What begins as glancing conversation in local coffee shops soon hardens into an all-consuming fixation. In the insular quiet of the Hudson Valley, every stolen encounter exacts an escalating emotional toll. During a freak October blizzard, Daniel is stranded at Iris's house, and they begin a sexual liaison that eventually imperils all their relationships, Daniel's profession, their children's well-being, their own race-blindness, and their view of themselves as essentially good people. Small Town Setting: In the deceptively quiet Hudson Valley village of Leyden, gossip and long-held domestic secrets circulate between church pews, local diners, and country law offices. Forbidden Romance: What sparks during morning drop-offs at My Little Wooden Shoe preschool escalates into an illicit obsession that neither Daniel nor Iris can contain once the snow begins to fall. Race Relations: Hampton's vigilant pride as a Wall Street financier clashes with the polite assumptions of their white neighbors, exposing the unspoken tensions running beneath daily suburban life. Family Life: At home, Kate's mounting preoccupation with the O. J. Simpson trial mirrors the unraveling trust beneath her own roof, where young Ruby becomes the unwitting center of a fracturing household.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Wild at Heart helped men get their hearts back.Waking the Dead will help us all find the life Christ promised.Jesus said, I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. That's the offer of Christianity, from God himself.Just look at what happens when people are touched by Jesus--the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life. In other words, to be touched by God is to be restored. To become all God meant you to be. That is what Christianity is supposed to do for you--make you whole, set you free, bring you fully alive.But Jesus also warned that the path to that life is narrow, and few people would find it.

Do you want it?Praise for Waking the Dead: John's words have empowered and encouraged me. I am so grateful that my heart is awake and alive, and I, even as a tender, deeply feminine woman, am fierce and capable of great things . . . of being a vital part of the advancement of the kingdom.

Rudy Wurlitzer lauds Man in the Woods as a stunning work that offers "heartbreaking insights into the dark frailties of human nature," and which he calls, "a page turner from beginning to end."

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. A wildly entertaining and occasionally heartbreaking story of frustrated longing, and the lengths we will go for those we love--even if they don't love us in return An Ocean Without a Shore, from the bestselling, critically acclaimed author of Endless Love and Man in the Woods, is a beautifully rendered exploration of that most timeless of human dilemmas: the one in which your love is left unreturned. Since their college days, Kip Woods has been infatuated with Thaddeus Kaufman, who, years later, is a married father of two children and desperately trying to revive a failing career. Kip's devotion to Thaddeus has been life-defining and destiny-altering, but it has been one that Thaddeus has either failed to notice or refused to acknowledge. But over the course of this heated and mesmerizing novel, set against a background of privilege and affluence in Manhattan and the Hudson Valley, Kip will be forced to reckon with the prison of his own making and decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for a love that may never be shared. Picking up where his most recent novel, River Under the Road, left off, but writing squarely in the vein of Endless Love, his classic novel of passion and obsession, Scott Spencer gives us an intimate, immersive, and unsettling portrait of the devastation we will wreak in the name of love, and the bitterness of a friendship ravaged by fathomless yearning.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From the bestselling, critically acclaimed author of Man in the Woods and Endless Love, a stunning, stinging portrait of class and creativity-and the double-edged sword of success Thirteen parties over the course of two decades-an opium infused barbeque, a reception for a doomed presidential candidate, a fund-raiser for a blind child who speaks in tongues, a visit to one of New York's fabled sex clubs-brilliantly reveal the lives of two couples, one hoping to be admitted to the kingdom of Art, the other hoping for a small share of the American dream, both driven by forces of history they rarely perceive or acknowledge. Thaddeus Kaufman, the son of booksellers, and Grace Cornell, raised in a basement apartment she longs to escape, meet at a neighborhood art fair in Chicago. Soon after, they head to New York, aloft on the wings of young love.  Jennings Stratton, the son of a caretaker, and Muriel Sanchez, the daughter of a cop, meet in a house he is refurbishing in New Mexico, and they, too, head for the big city. In a vast Hudson River estate, the lives of the two couples ultimately intertwine.  Thaddeus has made it big in an unexpected way, setting off a chain reaction of envy among his friends and peers and forever changing the dynamic of his marriage with Grace, for whom success has been elusive, and art, once a source of solace, has become a font of bitterness. And Jennings, hoping to transcend his reputation as the local Casanova, a man suited only for menial tasks, has ventured into a cycle of theft and betrayal that threatens to destroy the fragile life of his family. Funny and cutting, affecting and expansive, River Under the Road is Scott Spencer's masterpiece of all that lies beneath our everyday lives-a story about the pursuit of love, art, and money, and the inevitable reckoning that awaits us all.…
