Do I Know You?
In this second book of the Hassie Calhoun trilogy, the now twenty-nine-year-old single mother moves from Nevada to New York City to pursue her career as a singer. Though she enjoys a degree of success, she cannot adequately care for her son and so agrees to marry a handsome gay lawyer, who is delighted to have a family. While attending the funeral of her childhood mentor in England, she falls in love with a charming Royal Navy officer, finds greater career success in London’s West End and spends four years traveling between London and New York in an attempt to avoid hurting the ones she loves. Set during 1970s and ‘80s, this paging-turning epic spans the Falklands War and the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.

Wow! Pamela Cory's Do I Know You? is a first-rate page-turner. The second of her trilogy featuring torch singer Hassie Calhoun continues an absorbing story of a talented woman beset with personal problems. We first met Hassie as a runaway teenager in Las Vegas who falls in love with the mob-connected Jake. Troubles ensue and Hassie hears that Jake is dead. Not so, apparently as he makes a cameo appearance in the sequel.
But the sequel belongs to two men warring over Hassie's soul -- a gay lawyer in New York City who takes care of Hassie's elementary-age child when she meets a handsome Royal Navy man in London. The conflict between her feelings between the two men sets up the book's major surprise as well as lluminating a few other shockers.
The book takes place in the late 1970s and early 1980s as Hassie moves from her late twenties to her early forties. It feels authentic for those times and for its portrayal of a woman torn between career, love and motherhood.
