Sinossi

Amelia is a novel written by Henry Fielding. Amelia is a domestic novel taking place largely in London during 1733. It describes the hardships suffered by a young couple newly married. Against her mother's wishes, Amelia marries Captain William Booth, a dashing young army officer. The couple run away to London. William is unjustly imprisoned in Newgate, and is subsequently seduced by Miss Matthews. During this time, it is revealed that Amelia was in a carriage accident and that her nose was ruined. Amelia resists the attentions paid to her by several men in William's absence and stays faithful to him. She forgives his transgression, but William soon draws them into trouble again as he accrues gambling debts trying to lift the couple out of poverty. He soon finds himself in debtors' prison. Amelia then discovers that she is her mother's heiress and, the debt being settled, William is released and the couple retires to the country.

    Thomas Sanders and Virginia Wallace were bonded together in the past due to a bet, but each one continued their path thinking that what happened wouldn't affect their lives. 
    However, five years later, they found each other again in a remote town near Texas. During that time, Thomas has been trying to recover from the aftermath of his marital breakdown, which led him to destruction. Virginia, for her part, observes how her work is cut short and she is set apart, without being able to help it, to a place she doesn't know and where she will find again the man who marked her forever. 
    As days go by, the experiences between them become more intense, strong and intimate. Everyone thinks they're meant for each other, except Virginia... 
    Can we blame destiny for everything that happens in our lives or are we the ones who act unconsciously towards that future that we seek?

    If you tell a story oft enough
    So it become true
    
    As the nineteenth century draws towards a close, Mary Ann Sate, an elderly maidservant, sets out to write her truth.
    
    She writes of the Valleys that she loves, of the poisonous rivalry between her employer's two sons and of a terrible choice which tore her world apart.
    
    Her haunting and poignant story brings to life a period of strife and rapid social change, and evokes the struggles of those who lived in poverty and have been forgotten by history.
    
    In this fictional found memoir, novelist Alice Jolly uses the astonishing voice of Mary Ann to recreate history as seen from a woman's perspective and to give joyful, poetic voice to the silenced women of the past.

    Eight years, three kids, and one cross-country move. Can love alone bring their marriage back from the brink? 
    Dylan Sorrento fell in love with Jeanine Wendlock the moment he saw her singing karaoke in a dive bar in Santa Monica. An unplanned pregnancy, a quick wedding, and three babies later, Dylan was content as the captain of L.A. Princes hockey team, with Jeanine thriving as the leader of the team's wives and girlfriends. 
    When Dylan gets traded across the country to the Ohio Rusties, all the little cracks previously covered by California sunshine begin to show. Jeanine drowns in the demands of a move, motherhood, and making new friends, and Dylan's got troubles of his own with his new team. Jeanine reaches her breaking point and leaves Ohio for her parents' winery. 
    Dylan's not losing Jeanine without a fight. He chases her across the country and launches a five-point plan to win her back. 
    But is the plan too little, too late, or just the thing to make their bond unbreakable?
