Now Ready

Georgie May

A bumingly sincere study of the mind and soul of a public courtesan.

"Rich, mature writing," the critics said of this unforgettable story of an American "Nana."

A Virtuous Girl

They called Emmy Lou a fast girl and an easy mark, because she refused to be bound by the ties of hypocritical convention. But Emmy Lou had her own definition of virtue. The story of her struggle to find true love takes you to the heart of the eternal problem of a maiden's road to full-bodied womanhood.

Coming Shortly

Replenishing Jessica

The novel that was cleared by the courts. Jessica was a pampered daughter of wealth who refused to deny herself anything, especially men. The dramatic account of her follies and pleasures and of the emotional price Jessica had to pay is a Bodenheim classic you cannot afford to miss.
