Because She Is Beautiful
by Cameron DouganKim wondered: what had she ever truly sacrificed? She didn't believe in anything. Still, she had come this far. Had she ever relied on anyone? These men, their gifts -- she had not asked for them. But she had accepted them. Wasn't it an accomplishment that she had just managed to survive? Robert would say yes, but what would her father say? She drifted like the leaves in the current below her. What did Robert see in her? Because She is Beautiful tells the story of Kim Reilly--from her formative years as the daughter of a military father, to her self-made adult prison as the mistress of a married millionaire. Set in New York's Upper East Side in the last decades of the twentieth century, Kim finds herself immersed in a glitzy society that both encompasses and rejects her. Robert Sanders--sophisticated and refined--teaches her how to act like she belongs. Yet she remains an outsider, viewed as a common mistress clinging for years to a hollow relationship in return for a posh lifestyle. The luxuries and destructive dramas that comprise Kim's life are revealed as poor substitutes for a void she cannot understand. In a courageous gesture of liberation, she travels to Paris, where she begins to see herself, and life, through new eyes. With remarkable insight into the interior life of a kept woman, Because She is Beautiful is a stirring debut novel about love, forgiveness, and the distinction between emotional self-worth and narcissism.
