Ninety minutes, twice a day. Five days a week.
Car pool heaven turns into car pool hell when Anthea Rossignole realizes her lover is having an affair with the other woman sharing their daily commute. It seems that Antheas succesfanul career as a cost analyst at an oil refinery is the only thing she can really count on these days. Now shes looking for someone to share the long drive.
Shay Sumoto desperately needs a car pool. Though wildly overqualified, the environmental biologist takes a low-paying job testing well samples to keep body and soul together. The debt from her fathers terminal illness and the loss of the company she and her father owned have left her with no money, no time and no sense of humor.
When Shay and Anthea begin carpooling together, they find that first impressions of each other dont bode well, and second impressions dont improve their chemistry much. But when Shay uncovers alarming test results in her work information that could cost both of them their jobs Anthea is the only person she trusts for advice. Can two very different women find common ground?
It's Never an Easy Commute on the Freeway of Love.
Synopsis
Her Sister's Keeper is the latest installment of the critically acclaimed Hadra Series. Nhazul, a restless young Hadra from the settlement of Ossen, pleads for permission to go to the Shokarn city of Nhor. Her aunt reluctantly agrees, but only after exacting a promise from Nhazul that she will not try to influence or change anything in the city--no matter what terrible things she sees there. With some difficulty Nhazul manages to keep her promise until the very last evening. Now she is more than ready to go home, but she has not counted on Kitra, a strong-willed twelve year old with plans of her own. Kitra has just escaped from the Gray Place, a huge limestone cave under the city where women are held as virtual prisoners and forced to keep weaving until they die. She is determined to free her friend Tulli from this life of slavery. When she collides with Nhazul in the street she decides the young Hadra will make the perfect tool for her daring venture. Soon promises are broken and strange new alliances are formed as Nhazul finds herself embroiled in a dangerous adventure that will take her far from her Hadra homeland and everything she knows.
