Love in Mid Air
By Kim Wright
Grand Central, $23.99 (320p)
ISBN 978-0-446-54044-5
Available March 10, 2010
Publisher's Weekly says "Wright hits it out of the park in her debut, an engaging account of a woman contemplating divorce. Despite finally getting her husband, Phil, to attend counseling sessions with her, Elyse Bearden realizes her marriage is dead in the water. Though Phil’s a doting father and a decent man, he’s also the occasional jerk who snickers at his wife in lingerie and is generally indifferent to her. Elyse already knows she’s going to leave her husband when she meets Gerry Kincaid and soon begins an affair that allows her to escape from the crushing banality of her suburban life. Serving as Elyse’s foil is her beautiful best friend, Kelly, now married to an older, wealthy man. While the idea of housewives complaining about their husbands over lunch may strike some as a conventional hen-lit trope, Wright conveys friendships and the blasé everyday with authenticity and telling detail, while passages depicting Elyse’s inner life are rife with the same wit and insight that infuse the dialogue."

When 11 year old C.J. asks her grandmother, " Noni, where did I come from?" a memorable quest begins. Weaving the Journey Noni and the Great Grands is a multigenerational saga of family, culture and race that begins with Sariah, a slave in the early 1800's, and concludes with Sariah's descendants in the 21st century.
The reader meets a diverse cast of characters-black, brown, red and white-who move through a compelling landscape of space and time. This is the sympathetic and ultimately healing of the intermingling-the weaving-of a truly American family.
