Romance
No one explores the rich tapestry of the human heart as
Belva Plain does. Her more than twenty New York Times
bestsellers have captivated readers and garnered legions of
devoted fans. Now Plain dazzles us once again with a new
novel of rare eloquence and raw emotion…a powerful tale
about the consequences of greed—and the acts of love and
forgiveness that can heal the heart.
Cassie
Wright never saw it coming. As owner of Wright Glassworks,
the foremost company in a thriving New England town,
Cassie’s life was quiet, focused on her work and home…until
a tragic accident turns her carefully ordered world upside
down. For there is a surviving child to think about—and
Cassie must take in one-year-old Gwen, who has no one else
to care for her. As the years pass, Cassie will raise Gwen
as her own, and a little girl who lost everything will
flourish in a world of privilege and opportunity.
Enter Jewel Fairbanks. Beautiful and conniving,
Jewel will touch the lives of both Cassie and Gwen in
powerful ways. From the moment they meet, Jewel envies Gwen,
who seems to have everything Jewel wants. The two couldn’t
be more different, but their lives will soon become
inextricably intertwined. Both will marry—but to profoundly
different men. For Gwen, it is honest, hardworking Stan who
steals her heart; Jewel will set her sights on Jeff, a
shrewd businessman who owns the company where Stan works.
But when Stan makes a shocking discovery on the job,
relationships begin to shift and change...and soon a tangled
drama of greed, jealousy, and betrayal will encircle both
couples, as a chain reaction of unexpected events changes
four lives forever—in ways they never could have foreseen….
