Book Description
Chas Rawlings's It Really Is That Complicated is an often personal, indeed intimate, and sometimes hilarious ride from start to finish through the byways and mazes of men's and women's relationships. He guides through the fits and starts-some of the latter false starts-that characterize the dating game, especially with modern-day dating services. He lays out what he calls the horrors of marriage in the degeneration of romance and eroticism into the battle of the sexes in more mundane but often deal-breaking power struggles over control, money, and property. He elaborates on Tolstoy's notion that even this supposedly most sanctified of unions is a form of prostitution-women dispensing sex in return for material gain and security. At the same time, he asks good old Freud's notorious question "My God, what does woman want," since so many of them flee the very rewards they desire along with the generous, often attractive, and accomplished guys who proffer them. He takes us into what in Victorian times was dubbed "My Secret Life," the alleyways of escorts who offer up not only sex but also the companionship and even the no-strings intimacy men crave. Well, for a while at least-until the courtesan gets conflicted and crazy herself. And, despite all of this mayhem, Dr. Rawlings urges us all, men and women, to take risks and hurl ourselves into the fray, implicitly asserting that it is better to "have loved and lost than never to have loved" ... and lived. "Good fun, a great read, and edifying to boot!" John Munder Ross, PhD Author, The Sadomasochism of Everyday Life Coauthor of Tales of Love, Sex and Danger

Book Description
A regular city girl named Alina, with an almost perfect life, falls for a guy and gets into a relationship with him. Will adolescence allow her to stay in a relationship with a possessive guy for a long time? Will she find someone better? Or will she keep tolerating everything because she thinks that what they have is love? Everybody has a different idea about love, and most of the time it is not what you think it to be. Infatuations, attractions and a lot more can be considered love, but these ideas change over time. Priorities change over time. Life has to be taken seriously and life teaches you that at some point through various incidents. That is when you realize and you change. The people in your life play an important role as well. It doesn’t always turn out the same way for everyone. It has a different route and a different pace for everyone. This book is about the route that Alina’s life follows, about the role of her dear ones in this path, about the changes that are incurred in her life and the things that she learns out of them.

Book Description
Winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award In this stunning coming-of-age novel, the award-winning author of Women Talking balances grief and hope in the voice of a witty, beleaguered teenager whose family is shattered by fundamentalist Christianity "Half of our family, the better–looking half, is missing," Nomi Nickel tells us at the beginning of A Complicated Kindness. Left alone with her sad, peculiar father, her days are spent piecing together why her mother and sister have disappeared and contemplating her inevitable career at Happy Family Farms, a chicken slaughterhouse on the outskirts of East Village. Not the East Village in New York City where Nomi would prefer to live, but an oppressive town founded by Mennonites on the cold, flat plains of Manitoba, Canada. This darkly funny novel is the world according to the unforgettable Nomi, a bewildered and wry sixteen–year–old trapped in a town governed by fundamentalist religion and in the shattered remains of a family it destroyed. In Nomi's droll, refreshing voice, we're told the story of an eccentric, loving family that falls apart as each member lands on a collision course with the only community any of them have ever known. A work of fierce humor and tragedy by a writer who has taken the American market by storm, this searing, tender, comic testament to family love will break your heart. “Brilliant.” —New York Times Book Review “A darkly funny and provocative novel.” —O, the Oprah Magazine
