BOOK OF THE DAY

Crossroads
By: Belva Plain




No one explores the rich tapestry of the human heart as Belva Plain does. A tragic accident forces Cassie Wright, owner of the prosperous Wright Glassworks, to raise her late husband's love child as her own. Despite the painful daily reminder of his unfaithfulness, Cassie knows she is more than able to provide a privileged upbringing for little Gwen. Gwen grows up to be quiet and smart, and can't help but compare herself to Jewel, the gorgeous, gossip-loving receptionist at the Glassworks who fantasizes about marrying money. Fast-forward a few years. Gwen falls deeply in love and marries hardworking electrician Stan; Jewel is the wife of the shrewd CEO of the electric company where Stan is employed. The four soon become entangled in a twisted web of lust, greed, and envy.
