It's: a) 3:00 in the morning b) the night before you start a new job c) the day the absolutely best thing ever happened to you d) the day the absolutely worst thing ever happened to you e) all of the above Who are you going to call? Your sister, of course! Ask any woman who has a sister and she'll tell you that neither girlfriends nor husband--much as she adores them--can take the place of her sister. Who else has the same family history from the female perspective? Who else shares the same values and expectations, shaped since babyhood? Who else knows what's racing around in her head almost before she herself does? No one but her sister. In I'm the Pretty One, You're the Smart One, author Lorraine Bodger captures the many nuances of this unique and irreplaceable relationship. From the greatest delights (wardrobe sharing!) to the pettiest annoyances (will she ever get out of that bathroom?), this book captures the sisters experience in all its variety, and celebrates All Things Sisters in a way that honors, supports, and enriches this important bond. I'm the Pretty One, You're the Smart One explores the sisterly ins and outs of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood with wit, insight, humor, and loving attention. It rejoices in the intimacy shared by sisters--and that's what makes it the perfect gift from sister to sister. With beautiful original watercolor artwork, this deliciously touching hardcover gift book hits all the emotional (and often hilarious) highs and lows of sisterhood.

In this "witty and stylish" novel, two sisters take on modern relationships -- and find a suitor in a jokingly arranged marriage (Holly Peterson, bestselling author of The Manny). When Ava Nickerson was a child, her mother jokingly betrothed her to a friend's son, and the contract the parents made has stayed safely buried for years. Now that still-single Ava is closing in on thirty, no one even remembers she was once "engaged" to the Markowitz boy. But when their mother is diagnosed with cancer, Ava's prodigal little sister Lauren comes home to Los Angeles where she stumbles across the decades-old document. Frustrated and embarrassed by Ava's constant lectures about financial responsibility (all because she's in a little debt. Okay, a lot of debt), Lauren decides to do some sisterly interfering of her own and tracks down her sister's childhood fiance. When she finds him, the highly inappropriate, twice-divorced, but incredibly charming Russell Markowitz is all too happy to re-enter the Nickerson sisters' lives, and always-accountable Ava is forced to consider just how binding a contract really is . . .

Linda I. Meyers was twenty-eight and the mother of three little boys when her mother, after a lifetime of threats, killed herself. Staggered by conflicting feelings of relief and remorse, Linda believed that the best way to give meaning to her mother’s death was to make changes to her own life. Bolstered by the women’s movement of the seventies, she left her marriage, went to college, started a successful family acting business, and established a fulfilling career. Written with irony and humor and sprinkled with Yiddish, The Tell is one woman’s inspirational story of before and after, and ultimately of emancipation and purpose.
