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. African Passions and Other Stories by Beatriz Rivera, ISBN 1558851356
