African Passions and Other Stories, Beatriz Rivera's first collection of stories, is peopled by Hispanic women obsessed by love of varying sorts, but always of overwhelming intensity. Passion, obsession, raucous humor and satire are in store for the reader of this tour-de-force examination of Hispanic womanhood. Brava! A series of strong-minded women relentlessly pursue love and at times material success as they move in and out of the reality of the New Jersey Hispanic barrio that bonds them. There is the frustrated professional woman who unsuccessfully strives for a wedding ring from her mommy's-boy lover. Then there's the recent college grad applying for dead-end jobs while pursuing a traditional macho lover. An Italian-Puerto Rican princess is caught up in a vicious cycle of destroying relationships. A young Cuban matron destroys husband, children and her own well-being as she seeks the nirvana of material wealth and status.

In this seven-day retreat, Living the Truth in Love, your director is Catherine of Siena, the fourteenth-century Italian laywoman with the strong will and staunch commitment to carry out what she thought God was directing her to do.

Objects of Desire: A Portrait of Love and Marriage by Ralph Graves, ISBN 0740740083

This is a love story, told in a completely different way. Eleanor MacKenzie, just graduated from Barnard, and Ralph Graves, just graduated from Harvard, met as brand-new researchers at Life magazine in September 1948. They soon married other people, but the two couples then became closest friends. After seven years of that closeness, Eleanor and Ralph realized that they were profoundly in love. Both went through bitter and punitive divorces to get to each other. It was worth it. They have now been married for 45 years. This book is the story of their love and marriage, told through the myriad objects that have played a significant role in that story. Gifts, homes, cars, painting, books, furniture, jewelry, clothes--all are invested with a deeply emotional value that grew out of what those objects of desire meant to these two people. But the story does not apply only to these two particular people. As Ralph Graves says about these objects of desire, "They have resonance. Each of us, in every...
