A Theory of Relativity MITCHARD, JACQUELYN
United Kingdom, 07 May 2001 Flamingo 2001 0007139861 / 9780007139866
Good , 8vo The compelling and heartrending new novel from the author of the million-selling The Deep End of the Ocean. In her third novel, Mitchard perceptively portrays the tenuous threads that connect modern families through the story of a young man, Gordon McKenna, whose beloved sister and her husband are tragically killed in a car accident, leaving behind their one-year-old child Keefer. Although Gordon and his parents want to adopt her, the paternal grandparents launch an aggressive campaign to gain custody, setting in motion a horrific legal struggle in which the capacity and limitations of family love are severely tested. A THEORY OF RELATIVITY will draw readers inexorably from start to finish as Keefer's fate is played out, and Mitchard's wrenching prose provokes us to reflect anew on the often intangible bonds of family.

Most Wanted MITCHARD, JACQUELYN
United Kingdom HarperCollins Publishers 1998 0002257378 / 9780002257374
Good , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The long awaited second novel from Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of the million-copy selling The Deep End of the Ocean. Intensely erotic, The Most Wanted is also a romance in the epic tradition, about love that can come along once in a lifetime and challenge all of us to break the rules. Arley Mowbray, only fourteen years old, is dreaming her life away in South Texas when -- defying all earthly logic -- she falls in love, at hurricane force, with an outlaw and secretly becomes his wife. Public-aid lawyer Annie Singer, whose own careful, well-ordered life is catapulted into change from the moment she meets Arley, will become first the girl's advocate and defender, then the closest thing to a loving mother Arley will ever have. What happens to Arley and her husband, Dillon LeGrande, is the stuff of legend. He will break out of prison on a terrifying errand, but is it to claim his wife and their baby daughter or to destroy them? His love will put them into nearly unthinkable danger -- danger Arley and even Annie will find too compelling to ignore, too seductive to flee. No other writer has Mitchard's fierce, brave and tender insights into the bonds of mothers and daughters.
Larger than life, yet the very stuff of life itself, The Most Wanted is the tour de force that the many who treasure The Deep End of the Ocean have been waiting for.

The Most Wanted MITCHARD, JACQUELYN
Imprint unknown 0007697198 / 9780007697199
Good , 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Arley Mowbray is a drop-dead gorgeous 14-year-old, who, with her long, muscular frame and mature, collected manner could easily pass for 18. And pass she does. On a dare from her outspoken best friend, Elena Gutierrez, Arley writes to convict Dillon LeGrande in prison and convinces him she's a college student (though she hasn't made it out of junior high). Therein begins an ill-fated love story that myths are made of and men die for--except that's not what Dillon has in mind. Living in south Texas in a poor Tex-Mex community, Arley dreams of a less provincial life and secretly begins a love affair with Dillon via correspondence, which produces a flurry of poetry and achy-breaky love songs. Against the wishes of family and friends, Arley weds her amour, who promptly fathers her child, breaks out of prison, and mysteriously disappears. Fortunately for Arley, she has found a guardian angel in the form of Annie Singer, a straight-talking public defender from New York. Annie becomes the mother Arley never had, protecting her from Dillon and a love-starved home. Despite the strength of their bond, both underestimate Dillon's determination to get his child, no matter the cost. Jacquelyn Mitchard's first novel, The Deep End of the Ocean, was the first to receive Oprah's benediction, instantly making it a bestseller and thrusting Mitchard into the halls of literary stardom. Oprah's picks tend to stay within the thematic boundaries of overcoming dysfunction, harping on the nitty-gritty details of abuse. However, The Most Wanted boldly strides away from this and examines the many dimensions of motherhood, realistically depicting the ties that bind women, while supporting beyond debate that, yes, good girls do fall for bad boys.

Twelve Times Blessed MITCHARD, JACQUELYN
HarperCollins Publishers 000716470X / 9780007164707
Good , 8vo It is True Dickinson's forty-third birthday, and her best friends have gathered on this snowy night in Cape Cod at a trendy neighborhood restaurant to celebrate. True has never felt more alone. It's been eight years since the death of her husband, leaving her to raise their son on her own. Both her son and her small business are thriving, and True's life is full. Coming up on forty-three makes True realize that there is an empty space in her life that friends and family cannot fill. She feels her youth and beauty slipping away, and the possibility for romance has never seemed more remote. But everything changes the moment True and her beloved assistant, Isabelle, slide into a snow-filled ditch on the drive home. Saved by a young man she met earlier at the restaurant, True comes face to face with the opportunity to let love back into her life - that is, if she can overcome her own fears, and if these two spirits can find a way to tame each other's wild hearts and curb each other's supremely independent natures.
