It is a riveting story rich with detail.\"\u0026#151;\u003cI\u003eEDGE Boston\u003c/I\u003e\u003c/P\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat happens to lovers after the happy-ever-after moment? What goes on behind the closed doors of a relationship once the commitment is made? What does romance turn into when the hands of time keep turning? \u003cI\u003eOlive Oil and White Bread\u003c/I\u003e is a novel that dares to answer those questions.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAngie Righetti is the daughter of a sprawling but close-knit Italian American family. She's out and they're proud.\u003c/P\u003e\u003cp\u003eJillian Clark's family is the white bread to Angie's olive oil. Stoic and emotionally buttoned up, they don't want to think about Jillian's sexuality.\u003c/P\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's 1988 when they move in together, on the brink of starting their careers.

They fight, love, cry, play, make mistakes, have regrets, and try to be good to each other and to everybody else. Like most of us they tumble into a routine that turns into a rut that leads to distraction and danger.\u003c/P\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cI\u003e96 Hours\u003c/I\u003e Georgia Beers gave herself the challenge of writing a romance set in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. And she succeeded, coming up with a book that garnered awards and great reviews. She returns with a new challenge\u0026#151;writing a romance that starts, rather than ends, with the happy-ever-after.\u003cBR\u003e\u003c/div\u003e |
