It's likely to change by tomorrow, but here's today's brief description.<br /><br />The Brevity of Roses is the story of Jalal Vaziri, a man who runs when life gets difficult. A perfect life with an older woman gives him roots—for a while. Jalal’s a broken man, on the run again, when he encounters a younger, and headstrong, woman who challenges him to give life—and love—one more chance.Linda Cassidy Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105748665483726537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173191469938389438.post-79932413943682463742011-02-14T13:29:32.527-05:002011-02-14T13:29:32.527-05:00It's like coming up with a me in 30 seconds fo...It's like coming up with a me in 30 seconds for your book. <br /><br />Farm Girl is a coming of age story about a girl growing up on a 1920's Nebraska farm.<br /><br />House of Diamonds is the story of two sisters, one facing tragedy the other opportunity.
