She is also bored with her marriage, and finds escape, release, and a kind of controlled recklessness through riding horses. Her weekend afternoons at a Western Massachusetts stable bring an encounter with Philip Mercato, a smooth-talking divorced Manhattan stockbroker. Julia is swept away on the wings of money and charm to a world of compulsive sensuality - a world that comes to a sudden, sobering end when she finds that she is pregnant. Laura Chester precisely charts the evolution of a doomed relationship, from first erotic rush to shattering disillusionment. Along the way, she explores the ways that women support one another in difficult times- -The Stone Baby Author Laura Chester Publisher Black Sparrow Press , Santa Rosa California 1989-yellow cover- ISBN 0876857756, 9780876857755 - 224 pages- Subjects Fiction/ General Poetry/ Literature & Fiction / Contemporary / United States - see pictures maybe this will do it maybe it won't. you'll know by looking at the pictures -..Ruth Reaser..LAX Vespa shipped -United States Post to fulfill your order, Los Angeles I carefully pack your book,hop on my Vespa visit the PO to have it placed in our mail system.. your books wrapped,not co-mingled,you get the copy you were viewing.
