Myra Bartram''s husband Daniel crashes his plane on a mountainside. He rescues a child and attempts to save its mother, but the wreckage topples off the cliff. Myra''s devastated by her loss and at his graveside, she loses him again-this time to his legal wife. Bordering on the edge of insanity, she flees Baton Rouge and smashes head-on into a life of uncertainty in Atlanta. By coincidence, she meets Rich Udall, who invites her to dinner along with his house guest, Mitchell Vandyke. At dinner she learns Mitchell, a writer, is battling writers'' block. She encourages him, a convicted felon (unknown to her), to write a novel based on a real criminal case. Mitchell writes this novel, but Myra doesn''t foresee herself as his protagonist or Mitchell as his own villain until it is too late and she ends up in some dark alley in Spice Valley-and her whole world shatters.

Some seemingly preordained lives end up elsewhere entirely when a person manages to break the mold. Mary''s mold was broken from the outside. When the unthinkable happened in her traditional southern family, Mary''s quiet childhood was transformed into a journey of discovery amidst the world around her and of all the potential that lay within her. Soon after her father, a beloved preacher in her close-knit Tennessee community, came out as a gay man at the height of the AIDS epidemic, Mary''s mother, feeling betrayed and unable to deal with this new reality, embarked Mary and her siblings on a years-long cross-country odyssey-which would eventually land them in California-through New York, Nevada, and many other places. Mary, a sweet, innocent, and precocious child at the beginning of this adventure, had little idea of the transformation she was about to undergo. She would emerge stronger, wiser, and much better prepared for all that awaited her in life, from those travels through aqua, green, and blue...

The largest group of beneficiaries from the introduction of the National Minimum Wage in the UK were women working part-time. A potential threat to these wage gains is a reduction in the working hours available, with part-time (flexible) jobs particularly vulnerable. This paper reports a range of difference-in-difference estimates using individual-level data from the New Earnings Survey and the British Household Panel Survey. No significant changes in hours worked by either full- or part-time women are found 1, 2 and 3 years after the NMW, and no change in the probabilities of remaining in full- or part-time work or transiting between the two.
