A Novel in Three Parts

Ménage-a-Trois

Jane and Paula, two lonely straight women, help each other cope with the worst ordeals of their lives. A deeply philosophical conversation leads them to the realization they not only share suffering, friendship, and mutual support, but feelings of loneliness, isolation, and need. They accidentally find comfort in each other and begin what is, for both, a new and unlikely love. A problem arises when an attractive man moves in next door, but they find a unique solution. All three live together in a ménage-a-trois. Their lives intertwine, along with the lives of their family members. However, their ménage turns out not to be happily ever after.

Seek and Ye Shall Find

Jonathan Nathan is a successful Internet entrepreneur turned itinerant philosopher with a simple message he believes could change people’s lives. A devout woman points out the fundamental flaw in his teachings, and he  abandons his work. He turns to Wanda, his oldest friend, with whom he shared a childhood experience. She persuades him to follow his own teachings. He accidentally learns of the transformation his teachings provided for someone when she heard him speak. He is vindicated, but tired of teaching, and chooses love over philosophy.
