DESCRIPTION: I'm Jacqueline Laurens--Jack to all my friends--and eighteen months ago if you looked at my life on paper you'd think it was fabulous: gorgeous husband Daniel, venture capitalist, eleven years married, two kids, big house. The not so good part? I discovered Daniel's affair at the worst possible time. Now Jack's ex-husband has the second house and the Porsche, while she's got the two kids and a whopping broken heart. Her best friend's antidote: a spontaneous girl's weekend to Hawaii. But when the flu ruins their plans, Jack finds herself facing her 40th birthday in paradise--alone. Then she meets Kai, a sexy, much much-younger surf instructor, who reawakens her fun side. Surprisingly, after their sizzling weekend ends, the calls continue, making everyone back home wonder what Jack's gotten herself into. Now, pulled in all directions, a surprise forces her to reevalute her life, but will she sacrifice her happy new relationship for what other people think is right?

Reconnecting with your mate is the goal of this uneven guide by Cloud and Townsend， the authors of the million-selling Boundaries series on relationships。 Here， they offer a comprehensive look at virtually every way a marriage can disconnect。 They also provide tested and successful solutions to these problems as they address issues such as unreasonable expectations， personality differences and problems with communication， trust， sex and conflict resolution。 Their advice ranges from the obvious—“Don’t criticize or put down your mate”—to seasoned counsel stemming from a deep understanding of how marriages really work（such as when they conclude that couples “must go through reality to get to love”）。 The book is refreshingly honest in its push to get couples to examine themselves closely and pinpoint problems， as well as create appropriate solutions。 Its comprehensiveness， however， is also its weakness。 Skimming the surface of the huge topic of marriage makes for limi

I.The deliciously witty and delightfully dishy novel about life at a glamorous fashion magazine is now a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, set to open in theaters on June 30. II.The Devil Wears Prada The Devil Wears Prada is a 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger about a young woman who, fresh from college, gets a job working as a personal assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor that turns increasingly hellish as she struggles to keep up with her boss's capricious and demeaning requests. The book was hugely successful, spending six months on the New York Times bestseller list. A prime example of "chick lit," the novel was widely seen as a roman à clef about Vogue magazine and its iconic editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, since Weisberger worked there as an intern. Although she denies the story's editor is modeled on Wintour, many readers believed otherwise, which helped propel the book to the bestseller list. A film based on the novel,

Ever since the game began--possibly as far back as the 11th century--golf and war have been oddly connected. In 1457, for example, the King of Scotland banned "gowlf" because his subjects were spending more time on the local links than they were at archery practice--bows and arrows being the country's main weapons of defense at the time. In August 1940--hightailing it home after a raid on Aberdeen, Scotland--a German aircraft dropped a bomb over nearby Stonehaven Golf Club. The large crater that it left between the first and second fairways is still there today and is considered the course's most famous hazard. Local golfers refer to it as "Hitler's Bunker." Those stories, and many more, are included in Bullets, Bombs & Birdies: Golf in the Time of War. Until now, most history books on golf have tended to skip over the wartime years as if the game was completely abandoned during those tenuous times. This new book by Dale Concannon clearly shows that over many centuries of conflict, dedicated pract
