Harpercollins. 09/01/1997. A novel of three sisters who are separated by personality extremes, circumstance, and geography, but who are ultimately tied by the strong pull of common roots: Freddie, who left the South and has never looked back, is practical and serious, a marine biologist studying gray whales with her scientist husband off the Baja Coast; Eleanor is an agoraphobic pie maker who barely ventures outside the Tallulah, Tennessee home she shares with their other sister, Jo-Nell, a sharp-tongued free spirit. When a freak accident brings them together, they are forced to make peace with their past, their own futures, and one another. Originally published at $14.95 You save 87% off the cover price!

Penguin USA. 06/01/1979. Although Maupassant's own introduction to his novel proclaims a general distaste for the so-called psychological novel, "Pierre and Jean" (1888) emerged as a very intimate and internal study of jealousy, suspicion, and love within families. Pierre, a doctor, and Jean, a lawyer, are the sons of a retired jeweler who live with his wife in Le Havre. Pierre is jealous of his brother's relationship with Madame Rosémilly, and he becomes suspicious about his mother's fidelity when his brother inherits the fortune of an old family friend. These emotions conflict with an abiding respect for his mother and genuine affection for Jean, so Pierre turns inward and escapes by accepting a job as a doctor on a transatlantic liner.
