Some Women ISBN: 978-0451471888 Emily Liebert |
Audio Length: 15 minutes Can any woman have it all–love, family, success and happiness? Bestselling author Emily Liebert writes thought-provoking and emotionally honest novels that explore the depths of female friendship and the complex, yet relatable struggles women face in the thorny pursuit to have it all. Her three previous novels You Knew Me When (2013), When We Fall (2014), and Those Secrets We Keep (2015), have been featured in Good Housekeeping, People.com, Washington Post, In Style and Working Mother and have been praised for their razor-sharp wit, charm, and poignancy. Now, Liebert returns with a story of unexpected friendship, self-discovery, and the intricacies of marriage and motherhood with SOME WOMEN (New American Library, a division of Penguin Random House; April 5, 2016; Trade Paperback), as the lives of three women are thrown off course and they must rely on each other to find their way back. In this Authorlink AUDIO interview Emily talks about her evolving writing, and her own insights on the question of happiness. In SOME WOMEN, devoted mother and wife Annabel Ford appears to have everything under control—and it’s convincing. She even has herself fooled. So when her husband of a decade announces that he’s leaving her without warning, she’s blindsided. Single mother Piper Whitley has always done her best to balance it all—raising her daughter Fern by herself and advancing her career as a crime reporter. Only now that she’s finally met the man of her dreams, Fern’s absentee father arrives on the scene and throws everything into a tailspin. Mackenzie Mead has a life most women would kill for. Married to the heir of a thriving media conglomerate, she has many things to be thankful for—and she is, except perhaps for her imperious mother-in-law—who’s also her boss—and her struggle to get pregnant which seems to be causing a rift in her marriage. A shocking moment of deception forces Mackenzie to face the fact that her marriage is over—and probably has been for a while. On the surface, the women have little in common, but when their worlds converge, revealing truths about the meaning of love and family, loyalty and forgiveness, an unbreakable bond is formed illuminating the redemptive power of female friendship. To launch SOME WOMEN, Emily Liebert is partnering with Gerard Cosmetics on an exclusive line of lip glosses inspired by the book and its leading ladies. The Some Women Collection by Gerard Cosmetics features three stunning colors named for the book’s three main characters, and each color represents something about the character’s personality: Mackenzie—Wild Orchid: daring, driven, with a bit of an edge. Piper—Salmon: understated, delicate, and independent. Annabel—Candy Apple: confident, classic, and composed. The Some Women Collection by Gerard Cosmetics will launch on the book’s publication date: April 5, 2016 and will be available for purchase at www.gerardcosmetics.com. Gerard Cosmetics will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the lip gloss bundle to the Domestic Violence Center of Santa Clara Valley, whose mission it is to provide safety and support to victims of domestic violence while working to break the cycle of abuse.
