Κύκλοι ζωής
Η Τζένιφερ Κράνσο, έξυπνη, όμορφη και δραστήρια, είχε αποκτήσει όλα όσα ονειρευόταν τότε που εγκατέλειπε την ασφάλεια του πατρικού σπιτιού της, την οικογένειά της και τους φίλους της, για να πετάξει προς την κορυφή: είχε μια επιτυχημένη καριέρα κι ένα γοητευτικό σύζυγο. Καθώς όμως ετοιμαζόταν να γευτεί το μεγαλύτερο επαγγελματικό της θρίαμβο, άρχισε να συνειδητοποιεί ότι ο δρόμος που είχε χαράξει με τη φιλοδοξία της ήταν ένα δύσβατο μονοπάτι που θα πρεπε να το διαβεί μονάχη.
Κι ενώ από τη μια στιγμή στην άλλη βλέπει την προσωπική της ζωή να σωριάζεται σε συντρίμμια γύρω της, μια παλιά αγάπη θα ξανακάνει την εμφάνισή της, γεμίζοντας τις μέρες της με αμφιβολίες και τις νύχτες της με επιθυμίες που αποζητούν βασανιστικά την εκπλήρωσή τους. Τώρα ξέρει πως ήρθε η ώρα να υπολογίσει το τίμημα που πλήρωσε για να μπορεί να τα χει όλα. Και ν’ αρπάξει αυτή τη δεύτερη ευκαιρία, που ίσως να μην της παρουσιαστεί ποτέ ξανά...

About the author
Doris Mortman
34 books44 followersI was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico—before it was chic. My family moved to the East when I was three. I grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey and went to Skidmore College when it was still an all girl's school.
Being a lifelong wordsmith led me to such jobs as writing copy at ad agencies and doing sales promotions at Mademoiselle magazine. My first book, Circles, was published in 1984 as a paperback original and stayed on The New York Times Bestseller List for three months. Since then, I've published First Born, Rightfully Mine, The Wild Rose, True Colors, The Lucky Ones, Out of Nowhere, Before and Again, Shades of Red, and recently The Nest, the first in a series: Country Club Crimes. With both the hard and soft cover publications, I've resided on Bestseller Lists many times and have nearly twenty million books in print worldwide, with translations in fourteen languages.
I've been married for thirty-one years to a classic Type A personality who works hard, plays hard, sleeps fast, thinks deeply, and believes that commuting is a form of vehicular combat. I have two grown children, a daughter-in-law and two gorgeous grand girls!
My hobbies include golf, bridge and raising funds for breast cancer research.

Entretenido para pasar la tarde, pero se nota que es de los noventa / dos mil por ese ligero toque homófobo tan característico.
Las dos estrellas vienen de que huno giros de trama que me parecieron interesantes, pero la trama en sí y los personajes no me atrajeron demasiado.

Circles by Doris Mortman
Jennifer Shelton father owned the bakery and she always helped out.
Joshua Mendel her friend. She has a magazine job and married Charles but her world crumbles below her...
The story follows many: Jennifer and her parents and her cheating husband. Widowed Joshua and his kids and his martial affairs.
Others who lives entwine with the above characters as they try to take what they want, at no cost to them...
Love hearing of the many aspects of the fashion magazine and all the categories. Hate to hear that others want to take it over at all costs. Like how the circles are formed. Surprised how things really worked out!
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
