Framed in beauty. Fueled by ambition. Flushed with pride after designing a wedding gown for British royalty, Jenny returns from London, determined to fulfill her dream of becoming a famous fashion designer. Why not? She designs dresses and lingerie for New York and Philadelphia manufacturers and owns a successful boutique, housed in a charming little Victorian house. She designs gowns and hotel uniforms for wealthy clients on both the East and West coasts. As soon as she divorces Jonathan, an abusive husband, she marries Tony, the man she loves. She didnt marry Tony, in the first place, because she realized that Tonys twin brother Gus also loves her. It was impossible to marry one and hurt the other. Gus solves her dilemma by marrying Martha. But Martha hates Jenny, jealous of her beauty and because she knows Gus loves Jenny. In an attempt to kill Jenny in a public garage one day, Martha loses her own life. Tony manages the boutique, also the workers in both the shop and in the workroom where skilled dressmakers make the original gowns that Jenny designs under her own label. So when Jenny inherits the lingerie factory from her friend Colya, Tony has more work than he can handle. They invite Gus to give up his restaurant in New York, move to Philadelphia and manage the factory. He leaps at the chance. Separation for the twins was always difficult. When one is seriously injured, the other instantly experiences the same pain. Jennys household is run by two competent women who care for her small son Jon and baby Lisa. Jonathan knows nothing about his daughter until their chance meeting at Disney World where a terrible scene ensues. At Christmas time, he brings gifts to his children. Jenny nearly cries when she sees how sick he looks. Later, when she and Tony return from a honeymoon in Paris, they find that Jonathan, now mentally ill, has kidnaped Lisa. A frantic search follows, ending in tragedy. Gus does well managing the factory, which he is told he may buy one day at a bargain basement price. Meanwhile, he becomes entangled with a rich girl who stalks and tricks him into marriage, claiming that her baby belongs to him. Love binds Jenny and her family together. Her family includes Jonathans siblings and their family members, all of whom come to live close to Jenny. Tony jokingly calls her a little spider who draws everyone into her web. Because she has little time for her children and heaps responsibility on Tony until he has a heart attack, Jenny realizes that fame is a fraud, not worth the sacrifice of those she loves.
After the loss of her father and the suicide of her friend Sara, beautiful Jennifer Crawford is determined to become a famous fashion designer. Penniless, she accepts a job in New York where she falls in love with Tony but refuses his proposal when she realizes his twin brother loves her, too. Jenny returns home to Philadelphia. A year later, wealthy Dr. Jonathan Holbrook tricks her into marrying him. His mother provides the wedding and Jennys big break. The Holbrooks become the loving family Jenny always wanted. She divorces Jonathan when he becomes abusive, thus opening the way to marry Tony.
"A hugely absorbing first novel from a writer with a fluid, vivid style and a rare knack for balancing the pleasure of entertainment with the deeper gratification of insight. More, please.” —Maggie Shipstead, The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) "A story about Russia, the United States, friendship, identity, defection, and deception that is smart, startling, and worth reading regardless of when you were born.” —Kathryn Schulz, New York Magazine "Holt's beguiling debut… in which there is no difference between personal and political betrayal, vividly conjures the anxieties of the Cold War without ever lapsing into nostalgia." —The New Yorker Sarah Zuckerman and Jennifer Jones are best friends in an upscale part of Washington, D.C., in the politically charged 1980s. Sarah is the shy, wary product of an unhappy home: her father abandoned the family to return to his native England; her agoraphobic mother is obsessed with fears of nuclear war. Jenny is an all-American girl who has seemingly perfect parents. With Cold War rhetoric reaching a fever pitch in 1982, the ten-year-old girls write letters to Soviet premier Yuri Andropov asking for peace. But only Jenny's letter receives a response, and Sarah is left behind when her friend accepts the Kremlin's invitation to visit the USSR and becomes an international media sensation. The girls' icy relationship still hasn't thawed when Jenny and her parents die tragically in a plane crash in 1985. Ten years later, Sarah is about to graduate from college when she receives a mysterious letter from Moscow suggesting that Jenny's death might have been a hoax. She sets off to the former Soviet Union in search of the truth, but the more she delves into her personal Cold War history, the harder it is to separate facts from propaganda. You Are One of Them is a taut, moving debut about the ways in which we define ourselves against others and the secrets we keep from those who are closest to us. In her insightful forensic of a mourned friendship, Holt illuminates the long lasting sting of abandonment and the measures we take to bring back those we have lost.
A sometimes horrific story, yet optimistic in the search for a better life. Written with women in mind, who often have to overcome the worst life can through at them. Men who dare to challenge the conventions they are captured by will also read this and ask 'Is my male role in life the way forward, or if I dare to open my emotions, will I truly find the thing that will complete me as a human being?'
