"New York Times" bestselling author Fern Michaels has captivated readers worldwide with her sparkling wit, heartwarming characters, and breathtaking passion. Now, in "Listen to Your Heart," she brings a supernatural twist to the unforgettable tale of a young woman who still longs for the love of the mother she recently lost -- and is destined for the love of a man chosen for her with loving maternal care . . . from the beyond.
After her last child entered school Fern Michaels was forced by her husband to get a job, when all she knew was motherhood. Instead of approaching the world with no skills, she turned her love of reading into a career and began to write books. Michaels' books consist of scrappy heroines, much as she herself was. In order to give back some of what she's received Michaels has set up The Fern Michaels Foundation which allows grants for four-year scholarships to needy students. She has also opened affordable pre-school and day care centers for single moms in financial distress. She lives in South Carolina, in a remodeled 300-year-old plantation house.
The sequel to the bestselling Seven Dials is another riveting novel in which Ann Perry again proves herself a master of crime fiction (Baltimore Sun).

She is one of the most recognizable women of our time. America knows Jane Fonda as an actress and an activist, a feminist and a wife, a workout guru and a role model. Now, in this extraordinary memoir, Fonda reveals that she is so much more. From her youth among Hollywood's elite and her early film career to the challenges and triumphs of her life today, Jane Fonda reveals intimate details and universal truths that she hopes "can provide a lens through which others can see their lives and how they can live them a little differently."
Fonda divides her "life so far" into three "acts," writing about her childhood, first films, and marriage to Roger Vadim in Act One. At once a picture emerges: a child born to the acting legend Henry Fonda and the glamorous society princess Frances Seymour. But these early years are also marked by profound sadness: her mother's mental illness and suicide when Jane is twelve years old, her father's emotional distance, and her personal struggle to find her way in the world as a young woman.
By her second act, Fonda lays the foundation for her activism, even as her career takes flight. She highlights her struggle to live consciously and authentically while remaining in the public eye as she recounts her marriages to Tom Hayden and Ted Turner, and examines her controversial and defining involvement with the Vietnam War. As her film career grows, Fonda learns to incorporate her roles into a larger vision of what matters most in her life-and in the process she wins two Academy Awards, for Klute" "and for Coming Home.
In Fonda's third act, she is prepared to do the work of a lifetime-to begin living consciously in a way that might inspire others who can learn from her experiences. Surprising, candid, and wonderfully written, Jane Fonda's "My Life So Far" is filled with universal insights into the personal struggles of women living full and engaged lives.
