But aside from a gift for laughing hardship in the face, they have one very important thing in common--Clyde Brooks. You might say that Clyde is their "manager." And you might say that Lula Mae, Ester, Megan, Rosalee, Helen, and Rockelle are colleagues--in the world's oldest profession. Clyde likes to refer to them as his "wives."

Red Queen, White Queen
by Maureen PetersHistory remembers King Henry I as the monarch who never smiled after the loss of the White Ship, but his two wives have faded into an undeserved obscurity. This is their story--the story of Editha, the red queen, and Adelicia, the white, and of the curious links that bind them together. Editha, the headstrong daughter of a warrior and a saint, is forced into a convent during her girlhood but her love for Henry of England triumphs over all attempts to make her take the veil. Her marriage, however, marks not the end but the beginning of a long and varied career as wife, mother and queen of a conquered land. In her efforts to make her husband and children happy Editha is haunted by the missing piece of an old chess-set, and the launching of the Nef Blanche marks the emergence of that white queen into a Court filled with the echoes of the red one. In the relationship between the two queens is reflected the struggle between the old barbaric ways and the more civilising influences coming to bear upon the mingled races of Saxon and Norman who strive for mastery of a small, green island.
