Losses and Gains: Reflections on a Life with a Foreword by Paolo Coelho
by Lya Fett LuftIn her bestselling book Losses and Gains, Lya Luft draws on her own experiences of loss and gain in marriage and family to address the universal themes of childhood, love and maturity. She portrays love as the common thread through all phases of life. As children, the unconditional love we receive from our parents determines our expectations for all the other forms of love we experience later. And as adults, she argues, the complex task of loving another depends, initially, on self-love and self-esteem. Luft's ardent reflections on existence and the human spirit are a powerful reminder to us all: we have lost everything only when we believe we deserve less than everything still to be gained.

She's since left the force, left Dobbs Hollow, and vowed to never let a loved one down again. So when her best friend Andrea joins a seemingly harmless spiritual cult--only to disappear without a trace--Tara decides to find out what happened by becoming one of the Chosen herself. Five months later, no one's heard from Tara, and FBI Agent Jacob Nolan is going after her. Taking a false identity, Jacob finds it surprisingly easy to play the part of Tara's boyfriend. But as they uncover the inner workings of the Chosen, they realize how much danger they're in. Because Andrea isn't the first follower to conveniently disappear--and they may be next. Praise for TWISTED: "Sexy small town suspense, with finely drawn characters that will tug at your heart and keep you up at night turning pages." -Bestselling author Dee Davis Laura K. Curtis has always done everything backwards. As a child, she was extremely serious, so now that she's chronologically an adult, she feels perfectly justified in acting the fool. She started teaching at age fifteen, then decided to go back to school herself at thirty. And she wrote her first book in first grade. It was released in (notebook) paperback to rave reviews and she's been trying to achieve the same level of acclaim ever since. She lives in Westchester County, NY with her husband and a pack of wild Irish Terriers, which has taught her how easily love can coexist with the desire to kill.
