Now that it’s all over, everybody is saying it was the picture–that stupid picture was behind every disaster. . . . They may be the granddaughters of a famous literary critic, but what really starts it all is Daria, Polly, and Amelia Heller’s stunning red hair. Out of the blue one day, The New Yorker calls and says that they want to feature the girls in a glamorous spread shot by a world-famous photographer, and before long these three beautiful nobodies from Brooklyn have been proclaimed the new “It” girls. But with no parental guidance–Mom’s a former beauty queen living vicariously through her daughters, and Dad is nowhere to be found–the three girls find themselves easy prey for the sharks and piranhas of show business. Posing in every hot fashion magazine, tangling with snarling fashonistas and soulless agents, skipping school and hitting A-list parties, the sisters are caught up in a whirlwind rise to fame that quickly spirals out of control. When Amelia, the youngest of the three–who never really wanted to be a model in the first place–appears in an Off-Broadway play, the balance of power shifts, all the pent-up resentment and pressure comes to a head, and the girls’ quiet, neglected brother reaches a critical point of virtual breakdown. And against the odds, even as the struggle for fame threatens to tear the family apart, the Hellers begin to see that despite the jealousy, greed, and uncertainty that have come to define their relationships, in the celebrity world of viciousness and betrayal, all they really have is one another. Narrated in four parts, from the perspective of each sibling, Three Girls and Their Brother is a sharp, perceptive, and brilliantly written debut novel from an acclaimed playwright.

Can Deputy Brady Moore, a man desperate to protect his brother’s children, convince Dana Ritchie, a woman desperate to protect herself, to be his wife? Brady’s only asking Dana to be a temporary wife. After all, he can hardly expect a woman he’s just met to spend the rest of her life with him and his three nieces. If there was any other way to keep the little girls from entering “the system,” he wouldn’t even ask. Dana’s more than reluctant to accept. She once loved a little boy who wasn’t hers and lived to regret it. If she gives her heart to the children and then has to watch them walk away, she might never recover. But how is she ever going to resist these three girls?

This book argues that brother-sister relationships, idealized by the Romantics, intensified in nineteenth-century English domestic culture, and is a neglected key to understanding Victorian gender relations. Attracted by the apparent purity of the sibling bond, novelists and poets also acknowledged its innate ambivalence and instability, through conflicting patterns of sublimated devotion, revenge fantasy, and corrosive obsession. The final chapter shows how the brother-sister bond was permanently changed by the experience of the First World War.
Written by a born and bred New Yorker who spent the first half-century of her life in the world's most unique City, this engaging, vibrant memoir evokes a fascinating, unforgettable era with rare fidelity. Operating on many levels-family, show business, social activism and the human heart-hese vivid memories reflect a poignant and comic sense of life. Narrated with compelling honesty, sensitivity and infectious humor, they conjure not only a colorful image of years gone by, but also hint hauntingly of the City's evolving destiny.
When Iris Rion’s only reason to stay had been stripped away, she knew it was time to go. All the secrets the old manor house had held were now at her disposal as she began her journey to do the right thing. But as she traveled, her understanding of the “right thing” quickly came into question. But it only took one voice, the right voice, to send her understanding of everything out the window. The voices of all those she had left behind were heavy in her head as she navigated two worlds—one she thought she understood but didn’t and one she had barely experienced. Was there a right thing to do or even the right voice to listen to in these worlds? Was there trust in a time like this? And who was really pulling the strings? Was the plan she set out with really worth the risk? Was what she was looking for really what she needed to find? Join Iris on this magical journey where the truth has a cost but may not be worth much, where loyalty and trust don’t always go both ways and you find out that what’s right in front of you is only as clear as you wish it to be.
