She&#8217;s the author of two books, <i>Going the Distance: Endurance for Achievers</i> and <i>If Grace is the Goal.</i> The problem is, her own endurance is waning and her confidence in her expertise on grace is paling. Even worse, her kleptomaniac tendencies are intensifying, and a friend from her childhood has begun stalking her. <br><br>Glass, a product of other people&#8217;s dreams her entire life, is now a woman in search of authenticity. She sheds her ex-husband/coach, shakes free from her business manager, and lands not only in jail, but eventually in the arms of her stalker. As her handlers panic, Glass finally walks away as the author of her own story. <i>Biting the Apple</i> pokes fun at some of our dearest-held postmodern ideas about the existence of a true self and humanity as product.</div> 1784277 9 8 2007 Biting the Apple total:25|5:0|4:4|3:11|2:7|1:3| 25 66 40 8 2 1 false false Thu Nov 01 08:39:17 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 01 08:41:46 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jul 02 07:53:39 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 13 09:07:02 -0800 2008
