The Velvet Box is a fascinating portrait of what it is like for Sophie Gordon, a young girl struggling to cope with life while passionately desiring to become an accomplished artist. Her backstage life is filled with competition, jealousies, and disappointments, as well as many colorful backstage characters. All this puts her through a gauntlet of turmoil. Sophies personal life is as dramatic and full of adventure as her professional life. She has two delightful but complicated romances, one with her fellow actor Ian Lennox and the other with Richard Neville, her theatrical impresario. Richard has been fascinated with Sophie from the first time he met her. She also has attracted the attention of several royal personages throughout her story. All this while she is trying to reconnect with her father, who has come back into her life after a nine-year absence. These trials and tribulations help Sophie to maneuver into the adult world.

Jessica stared at her father in disbelief as she said to herself, No Dad, she was not mistaken. You would not believe me if I told you it was Asa. You would not believe me if I told you I wrote about Asa and that he really exists. He came for Larry. I know he did. You knew about Susie all the time, didnt you, Asa? And thats why, on the mountain, you said children instead of child. I will tell Nick and he will believe me, but you wouldnt believe me, Dad. You are such a realist. You would never believe me.

Rose - a precocious young girl in 1930s Wisconsin - runs away from home to avoid going onto high school and what she sees as a certain path to marriage and motherhood. What she seeks is adventure. What she finds is much more. ---------- Rose is thrown into the lives of the varied people and towns of the Mississippi while working on river boats, going to a prep school in St. Louis where she lives with a black family in the Ville, and working in a bordello in New Orleans (not as a call girl, of course. She is a Catholic girl from the Midwest after all). What she doesn't anticipate are the close relationships that develop with many of the women she encounters. She also discovers the harshness of the world far away from the security of home. Ultimately, Rose realizes what is most important in her life: her family and her friends. ---------- Rosebloom takes place at a time in history that buffets Rose between the great depression and the coming wave of World War II. She gets herself into situations through her naiveté and also just by chance that test her resolve and teach her not only about herself but about the world of others which she would have never know if she hadn't left her small farm in Southwest Wisconsin.

Sibella Giorello's four Raleigh Harmon novels are now available in one collection! The Rivers Run Dry Special Agent Raleigh Harmon is good at her job as a forensic geologist, but not as good at bureau politics. As one of the few females on the team, she finds herself in a strange land when she's transferred from Richmond to drought-stricken Seattle. When a hiker suddenly goes missing and a ransom note arrives, Raleigh vows to find the missing college girl and leave no stone unturned. The Clouds Roll Away Closing her assignment with the FBI's Seattle office, Raleigh Harmon returns to her hometown of Richmond, Virginia, expecting a warm welcome. Instead she finds herself investigating an ugly cross burning at a celebrity's mansion and standing in the crosshairs of her boss at the Bureau. And the deeper Raleigh digs into the case, the murkier the water becomes. The Mountains Bow Down Everything's going to work out. Time away always makes things better . . . That's what FBI Special Agent Raleigh Harmon believes as she boards a cruise to Alaska. A land of mountains and gems and minerals, the Last Frontier is a dream destination for this forensic geologist who's hoping to leave behind a hectic work schedule and an engagement drained of romance, but like the scenery that surrounds the cruise ship, Raleigh discovers a mystery so daunting that even the mountains might bow down before it. The Stars Shine Bright After the FBI suspends her for bending its rules, Special Agent Raleigh Harmon is looking for a chance to redeem her career. Sent undercover to a thoroughbred horse track, Raleigh takes on a double life to find out who’s fixing the races. But when horses start dying and then her own life is threatened, Raleigh realizes something bigger—and more sinister—is ruining Emerald Meadows.

Not again! Where is that music coming from? It was after two oclock in the morning, and LeAnn was looking out the living room window towards the lake. She couldnt believe her eyes; her heart raced. There it was again, a white light floating on the boathouse walkway. Twenty-year-old LeAnn Klein had just bought Tabor Island with its almost two-hundred-year-old house and boathouse. The beautiful old home was on Namakagon Lake in northern Wisconsin. What is that? she whispered, scared. Did she dare go down there and see what it was? She stared at the light and could still hear the music. Pull yourself together, LeAnn, she said out loud, walking away from the window. This is a safe lake. There havent been any break-ins or She stopped mid-sentence. The music had stopped. She ran back to the window. The light has gone. Confused and frightened, she ran up the stairs to look out her bedroom window. Still no light on the walkway. She opened the window. No music. Thunder rumbled in the distance. She needed to sleep. Closing the window, she turned and sat on her bed. Leaving the lights and her clothes on, she pulled the blankets over her head and fell asleep almost immediately. She was in a deep sleep as the white light floated back and forth on the boathouse walkway. The music began to play.
