Three Books by Eileen Goudge
Requirements: ePub, Mobi Reader 5.9MB
Overview: Eileen Goudge's writing career started nearly 25 years ago with the writing of free-lance articles for newspapers and magazines. At that time she was a recently divorced mother of one trying to scrape by on welfare checks and surplus cheese, yet she still managed to launch a lucrative career in teen romance. She worked on the "Sweet Valley High" series and later developed her own series called "Sweet Dreams."
In 1989, Eileen tried her hand at adult fiction. She received an amazing $900,000 advance for her first adult novel, Garden of Lies. The novel's story of deceit and destiny was a great success, reaching the number five spot on the New York Times Best Sellers list and selling more than 1,000,000 copies in hardcover and paperback. In 1992, she followed her successful debut with Such Devoted Sisters, which secured Ms. Goudge's position as a best-selling novelist. The year 1994 saw the publication of Eileen's third novel, Blessing in Disguise, a story which reflects her own struggles and triumphs with remarriage, step-parenting and family clashes. Trail of Secrets, a novel set in the blue-blood equestrian world and blue-collar beat of the New York City Mounted police, centers around three women and a dark, jealously guarded secret, and was published in 1996.
All of the above titles were main selections of the Literary Guild and Book-of-the-Month Club. There are more than 3,000,000 copies of her books in print in twenty-five countries around the world.
Eileen Goudge presently lives in an 1800s carriage house in historic Sniffen Court in New York City. She is married to television and radio correspondent Sandy Kenyon, and is the mother of two children, Mary and Michael.
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
The Second Silence: When Noelle Van Doren's estranged husband snatched their five-year-old daughter from her, Noelle's world fell apart. During the bitter custody battle, Noelle's long-divorced parents rekindle the passion they never truly let go. Noelle also struggles to care for her ailing grandmother, and to find the courage to embrace a new love.
Woman in Red: Alice Kessler spent nine years in prison for the attempted murder of the drunk driver who killed her son. Now she’s returned home to Gray’s Island to reconnect with the son she left behind. Her boy, Jeremy, now a sullen teenager, is wrongly accused of rape, and mother and son are thrown together in a desperate attempt to prove his innocence. She’s aided by Colin McGinty, a recovering alcoholic and 9/11 widower, also recently returned to the island in the aftermath of his grandfather’s death. Colin’s grandfather, a famous artist, is best known for his haunting portrait, “Woman in Red,” which happens to be of Alice’s grandmother. In a tale that weaves the past with the present, we come to know the story behind the portrait, of the forbidden wartime romance between William McGinty and Eleanor Styles, and the deadly secret that bound them more tightly than even their love for each other. A secret that, more than half a century later, is about to be unburied, as Alice and Colin are drawn into a fragile romance of their own and the ghost of an enemy from long ago surfaces in the form of his grandson, the very man responsible for sending Alice to prison.
The Replacement Wife: Camille Hart, one of Manhattan’s most sought-after matchmakers, has survived more than her fair share of hardships. Her mother died when she was a young girl, leaving her and her sister with an absentee father. Now in her forties, she has already survived cancer once, though the battle revealed just how ill-equipped her husband Edward is to be a single parent. So when doctors tell Camille that her cancer is back—and this time it’s terminal—she decides to put her matchmaking expertise to the test for one final job. Seeking stability for her children and happiness for her husband, Camille sets out to find the perfect woman to replace her when she’s gone.
But what happens when a dying wish becomes a case of “be careful what you wish for”? For Edward and Camille, the stunning conclusion arrives with one last twist of fate that no one saw coming.
At once deeply felt and witty, The Replacement Wife is an unforgettable story of love and family, and a refreshing look at the unexpected paths that lead us to our own happy endings.
