For what happens when all these friends, lovers, relatives, and associates prepare for a Christmas party in Connecticut is not to be believed. And even if there are no "White Christmas" carols being sung, the chestnuts will definitely be roasting.

Rocking the Babies
by Linda Raymond
Martha Howard is prim, educated, and middle class. Despite her comfortable life, she is haunted by the past and the death of her infant son. Nettie Lee Johnson is fat, poor, and caustic, with an extended family that has seen nothing but trouble. These very different women meet in a neonatal ICU, each volunteering for her own deeply personal reasons. At first they view each other with suspicion and contempt. But as they rock and talk and tend their tiny charges--sharing stories of lost husbands, wayard children, poverty, and prejudice--they soon discover a profound mutual need. In this powerful and hugely affecting novel, Linda Raymond draws on the African-American storytelling storytelling tradition to create a funny, resonant portrait of a complex and sometimes harrowing friendship
The Summer House
by Alice Thomas Ellis
Margaret, Mrs. Monroe, and Lili all feel that Margaret's upcoming marriage to Mrs. Monroe's son, Syl, is a great mistake.
If This World Were Mine
by E. Lynn Harris
A close circle of friends. A sexy stranger. How strong are the bonds of friendship?With a nine-week stay on the New York Times bestseller list, E. Lynn Harriss third novel, And This Too Shall Pass, put his "sizzling and fast-paced" books at the top of everyones must-read list. Readers across the country were thrilled to watch his true-to-life characters wrestle with questions of faith, family, and love. In his new blockbuster, If This World Were Mine, Harris introduces four new characters whose friendship and deep bonds of intimacy are threatened by conflicts of career and romance.Friends since their days at Hampton Institute, the four group members are as different as the seasons, yet they all share a love of one another. Yolanda, a media consultant, keeps it going on with a no-nonsense attitude and independence that are balanced by the theatrics of Riley, a former marketing executive, whose marriage has reduced her to "a kept woman with kids." Computer engineer Dwights anger at the world is offset by the compassion of Leland, a gay psychiatrist, whose clients make him question why God ever invented sex. Together, these four friends keep a collective journal they call "If This World Were Mine," and share their personal diaries each month at a gathering filled with humor, gossip, and affirmation.But after five years, the once-strong bonds of friendship are weakening, and the group must handle challenges of work, lost love, and a stranger in their midst: gray-eyed John Basil Henderson, a former NFL star whose past has begun to haunt him. As the group members confront their true feelings toward each other, resentments and long-held secrets surface, and the stability of the group begins to disintegrate. When one of them faces death, the crisis forces the friends to recognize and accept the inner strength that the group has nurtured in each of them. Is their past friendship strong enough to survive the future? With home training tales from Uncle Doc, Lelands gay uncle and purveyor of Miss Things Wings, Chicagos premier chicken emporium, the group reaffirms honesty as the bedrock of their friendship. As Leland and Yolanda pledge to each other, "I love you. That's all."
