<p>The Prescott siblings – sister Leslie, brother Alan and sister Connie – have survived a miserable five years when their intelligent and loving parents fall into dementia and had to be cared for by their children. Now the parents have died and all three children have separately left New York and moved to San Francisco to re-start their careers and find happy lives. Why shouldn’t they achieve that? They are all attractive, energetic and well-educated. There is only one flaw in their new upward progress and that is Annette, Alan’s recently divorced wife, who is none of the above. The three meet frequently and argue at length, but Annette seems to make no progress until she gets in the way of an evil man. An enthralling, frequently funny page-turner which captures some of the complexity of family life, and how narrow the shelf of safety is in big city life. You will love the Prescotts and laugh with them.</p>

<p>A California couple confronts the tumult of the last half of the 20th Century including the turmoil that was the Civil Rights Movement in Oakland. This is the story of a marriage between Jeb, a dreamer, and Marian, an ingénue who believed all of Hollywood’s myths. They struggle to stay together even as they hotly disagree about their future. Their first lesson—the painful and comic reality of trying to start married life in New York City with no money and no skills. Was that bond between them a mistake or the slow development of that strange phenomenon called love? “The gold was there all the time,” Jeb said when he talked about California’s Gold Rush. “It was waiting for the right moment and the right man to bring it into the world.” Marian thought she had found the right man and she wasn’t going to be dissuaded.</p>
