What year was it published - or what year did you read it?

Any idea if the woman was white, black, or other?

Margie Sokoloff | 4 comments I don't remember the year (late 90's?). The woman was white.

Is it mass market fiction, literary fiction, genre fiction? Chick lit? Oprah-type book? Sad ending or happy ending?
