FAMILY AFFAIRS Signet Books February 1999
|
When the owner of a New York City art gallery meets a popular and controversial artist at her opening, she recognizes him as the man who was a surrogate child to her mother decades ago. This brooding, talented artist is eerily in sync with her innermost secrets and desires, but she has never found him attractive. Now that he has returned to her life from a checkered past, she must adjust to his influence and may learn that her arch-nemesis can turn out to be someone very special. |

Family Affairs/Signet Books 1998: One of my ideas in writing this story was to create a lead (David) who is an ex convict, and show how it’s possible to turn your life around in heroic ways. Gayla, who’s known David most of her life, isn’t convinced he’s capable. A second idea I wanted to explore was the connection between two families; one black (Gayla’s mother works for...) the other, white. The ways in which they are different, but the many ways in which they are the same and entwined.
