"First published in 1942, A Southern Garden continues to be an indispensable guide for gardeners in the South and indeed in all parts of Zone 8, from Richmond to the West Coast. Using her own gardens and those of her neighbors, she has gathered practical ideas for this handbook for many years. Here can be found what to plant (the common and scientific names for each flower are given), where to get it, when and where to plant it, and how much to nurse it. Tables giving the blooming dates of more than eight hundred plant varieties, recorded over a period of years, are indispensable to garden plans. The author takes us through the cycle of seasons, telling us which plants are most suitable for bloom in the Middle South's mild winters, in the long springs, in the hot, dry summers, and in the slow climax of autumns."

"A novel of family life [which] tells the story of a young couple and their parents, of a family so wrapped up in the barbed wire of their blood relations that the movement of one tears into the other. The daughter is in flight to leave behind her childhood and her crazy parents. The crazy parents are trying to get away from each other, but after thirty years of creating their own particular brand of family madness they don't know how. In the middle of this is the daughter's husband. Like a man walking down a quiet street who falls through an open manhole and winds up in some kind of hell, he finds himself in the middle of this family. And all he remembers is the vision of this sweet, gorgeous, and passionate woman who said to him, 'I'm yours. You can do with me what you want,' and he married her, believing it would be true. The Night of the Weeping Women is an excruciating portrait of the quiet desperation that lurks behind placid suburban veneers, of the small cruelties and inextricable ties of domestic relations. Careening between an exuberant hilarity and a horrifying rendering of the dark beast that lies at the heart of this family, the book is funny, tragic, and above all moving."

"Only Lawrence Sanders could have created this saga of a family that breaks all the rules - both God's and man's. Moving from the seventies to the nineties, Guilty Pleasures invites readers into the affluent arena of shocking acts and stunning revelations that is the world of the South Florida clan. Through two decades, the Folsbys embrace their checkered destinies as Barbara and Brett battle for future control of the empire - never guessing that a trusted family friend with a hidden agenda is quietly manipulating them all."
