Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Pinning, fiction for women and young adults Elizabeth desperately wants to have friends. She was unable to have them as a child, since she grew up in a dysfunctional family. As an escape from her previous torment, she enters the University of Rhode Island during the Cold War searching for her identity and fulfillment. She unwittingly becomes the thread that sews together an eclectic group comprised of Ron, an unscrupulous classmate, Ralph, a boy out for revenge, Mark, a traumatized newspaper editor, Ivan, a professor with an ominous secret, Kenny, a decorated Vietnam soldier with a hidden agenda, Richard, an undercover Providence police detective, and Robert, a socially awkward suitor out to capture her heart. When Elizabeth finds herself invited to a secret political meeting known as the "coffee house", she jumps at the opportunity to try something different. While mingling at the "coffee house," she overhears a private conversation between a Russian man and a coed. Fearing the pair might have noticed her eavesdropping, she makes a rapid departure, only to find out later that she had not truly escaped the consequences of her accidental discovery. Although Elizabeth participates in the usual college activities and courses, her experiences become quite atypical when they include espionage, humorous encounters, and a romance affected by a controlling, mentally ill mother. Frequent and unexpected twists of events seem to threaten Elizabeth's plans for lasting friendships and a happy-ever-after future with her college sweetheart.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first book in the Shugrinsky family saga series, The Pinning, focused on Elizabeth breaking free from her dysfunctional family; now learn more about her mother's tragic story in Behind Closed Doors. Elizabeth would be the first to tell you that Naomi is not an ideal mother: she is manipulative and controlling, and she appears to be unraveling fast. But Naomi has survived tragedy before, and now she's struggling to do so again. When her suicide attempt doesn't extract her from her painful marriage like she'd planned, Naomi finally opts to divorce Jesse. But with her history, she worries how she will be able to keep custody of Elizabeth and Mary. And even beyond the legal matters, how can she maintain a relationship with her daughters when everything she does seems to twist into something bad? Naomi's story travels back and forth from the 1940s through the 1970s, building the taut and bitter web that makes up her life. All it takes is for one string to snap before her world collapses around her, and the fallout won't just affect her. Behind Closed Doors is filled with tragedy and suspense, yet it leaves a small ray of hope for the Shugrinsky family by the end. This item is printed on demand.
