Book Description
Our culture doesn't do happily-ever-after very well. According to current statistics, nearly half the marriages in this country end in divorce. Long-term marital love is apparently becoming a rare thing, yet it is possible. When Dr. Helen Fisher scanned the brains of seventeen long-married women and men who claimed to still be deeply in love with their spouses, the regions associated with intense, early stage romantic love were just as active as those of newlyweds. But I didn't need science to convince me of this. My marriage was living proof. "How do you two do it?" friends would ask my wife Dolly. "After all these years Paul still looks at you like he's just fallen in love yesterday. "We'd met young and married early, not the ideal scenario for a successful long-term marriage. And yet, for us, the music never stopped playing, not when separated by service during the Vietnam War, nor through struggles with finances, career, a stillborn child, and a debilitating bout with acute anxiety disorder. Like all great love stories, through it all we remained deeply in love and committed to each other. Even as we aged Dolly remained for me the same beautiful angel I'd met in 1959. As we approached our fiftieth wedding anniversary, suddenly, and with little warning, death took Dolly, ending our fifty-five-year love affair and with it, my desire to go on living. To survive and continue without her was the greatest challenge I would ever face. Love and Stardust is the true story of two people whose love for each other was exceptional, never wavering during a lifetime together. The proof of this is on every page.

Book Description
In this tender-hearted debut, set against the tumultuous backdrop of life in 1973, when homosexuality is still considered a mental illness, two boys defy all the odds and fall in love. Now in paperback. The year is 1973. The Watergate hearings are in full swing. The Vietnam War is still raging. And homosexuality is still officially considered a mental illness. In the midst of these trying times is sixteen-year-old Jonathan Collins, a bullied, anxious, asthmatic kid, who aside from an alcoholic father and his sympathetic neighbor and friend Starla, is completely alone. To cope, Jonathan escapes to the safe haven of his imagination, where his hero David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and dead relatives, including his mother, guide him through the rough terrain of his life. In his alternate reality, Jonathan can be anything: a superhero, an astronaut, Ziggy Stardust, himself, or completely "normal" and not a boy who likes other boys. When he completes his treatments, he will be normal—at least he hopes. But before that can happen, Web stumbles into his life. Web is everything Jonathan wishes he could be: fearless, fearsome and, most importantly, not ashamed of being gay. Jonathan doesn't want to like brooding Web, who has secrets all his own. Jonathan wants nothing more than to be "fixed" once and for all. But he's drawn to Web anyway. Web is the first person in the real world to see Jonathan completely and think he's perfect. Web is a kind of escape Jonathan has never known. For the first time in his life, he may finally feel free enough to love and accept himself as he is.

Book Description
Shortly after burying her unfaithful husband, Georgia Peyton unexpectedly inherits the derelict Stardust motel from a distant relative. Despite doubts from the community and the aunt who raised her, she is determined to breathe new life into it. But the guests who arrive aren't what Georgia expects: Her gin-loving mother-in-law; her dead husband's mistress; an attractive but down-on-his-luck drifter who's tired of the endless road; and an aging Vaudeville entertainer with a disturbing link to Georgia's past. Can Georgia find the courage to forgive those who've betrayed her, the grace to shelter those who need her, and the moxy to face the future? And will her dream of a new life under the flickering neon of the Stardust ever come true?
