Saving Snowflakes in My Pocket: Love's Survival Through Years of Deception

When Michael finds that he is the reason his wife, Sarah, is unable to conceive, he asks his brother, Jonathon, to donate sperm for Sarah's in vitro fertilization procedure. Michael makes Jonathon promise to never reveal the deceit to Sarah. Jonathon adopts Lavar, a young black boy, who came to the Clinic alone, seeking help with a broken clavicle, received from his mother's abusive boyfriend. Jonathon confides to his friend, Frenchie, "I am happy to be a single father for my son, Lavar, but my brother has found the rare woman." Throughout Sarah's pregnancy, Jonathon struggles an inner battle - that he is the father of the twins she is carrying and that he must honor the promise to his brother. "Why do I punish myself by watching her?" He tries to stay away from his brother's wife, but he is drawn closer - like finding a perfect rose and being unable to resist bending to it and inhaling it's sweet fragrance.

The Strawberry Field, the story of two sisters: Beth, projecting warmth and caring, a luminous smile; and Alyssa, wickedly mean, rumored to practice sadomasochism. Beth’s husband, Raymond, sees himself as the suave, ultimate, sexually desired specimen. Alyssa craftily lures him into her web of dark, secretive habits. They have no interest in satisfying a partner in their selfish sexual matches, only an exploitative behavior to use each other for their own excitement and gratification. Raymond contrives to have Beth sign her power of attorney over to him, gives her an entire prescription of antidepressants, and plots to take control of her inheritance. Beth is taken to a private clinic to recuperate. Beth meets the handsome psychiatrist, Dr. Mitchell Matthews. Is this where Beth will find the beginning of a new life?
