This beautiful book is filled with many black and white artist quality photos of Baryshnikov and his dancers, during his tenure as head of the ABT. He was at his prime, and the photos are particularly beautiful. Most are candid, backstage or in rehearsal, and you can see his grace even when he is standing around in sweats watching others. The combination of photos and great backstage stories gives this book a place of honor in my dance collection. A wonderful document of a past beautiful time and a must for any Baryshnikov fan as well.

Todd and Eve Garrett were on their way to a romantic getaway when Todd lost control of the car. Todd saved Eve, but couldn't save himself. Todd died leaving Eve with their young son Sean to raise.

Eve was an excellent Prosecuting Attorney. She took her work seriously and loved it. She really didn't have a social life. Now that Todd was gone, she just wasn't interested in becoming involved with any man. Eve's played Dominos with her friend Ebony and her husband. Ebony tried to set Eve up with a hunk named Noah. At their first meeting there was a spark of something between them. Eve had heard about Noah's reputation as a ladies man and didn't want to become another conquest for him. She had only been with her husband Todd and they had been married for 14 years. Noah wanted to get to know Eve and was definitely thinking of a lasting relationship with her, if she would just give him a chance.

Eve's Prescription was Edwina's first romance novel. It was a wonderful story about a woman trying to fight her way back to the world of love and romance. Great job Ms. Edwina.

This romance book is tastefully presented. I truly enjoyed the many themes around FAMILY relationships - Eve & her deceased husband, Eve and her prospective lover, Eve and her best friend Ebony, Eve and her mother, Eve and her son, Eve and her co-worker - it was great! It also portrayed Black Men in a positive light - as caring, responsible, professional, family men with values.

The anticipation of the lovemaking made the book exciting - I didn't want to put it down - and when they FINALLY had "relations" - it was - oh well - passionate from start to finish. (smile)

Thanks Edwina for putting Black Love on the market in a way we can all be proud!

Eve's Prescription is a well-written and entertaining romance debut novel from Edwina Martin Arnold.

On their way to a romanctic rendezvous, Eve and her husband, Todd, have a tragic car accident. Todd is successful in saving Eve; however, he succumbs and loses his own life. Since that tragic incidence, 4 years ago, Eve has closed off all sexual, intimate, and sensuous feelings for another man. Instead she spends her time practicing law during the day as a Prosecuting Attorney and the evenings are spent with her elderly, live-in mom, Beulah and her 14-year old son, Sean.

Her friends, Ebony and Yoshi, worry about her and they are forever playing matchmaker but to no avail because Eve is simply not interested in another man. After all she has the memories of 14 years to a wonderful man. But, Ebony still tries and one evening at their weekly domino game, Ebony introduces Eve to Noah... the passionate, sensual, attractive, red, hot, firefighter. Sparks fly when Eve meets Noah but she's not ready to give in to her physical nature, after all, she was in a loving marriage for 14 years and Noah is several years her junior and has a reputation of being a lady's man. Noah has had more than his share of women but none of them have touched the essence of his soul like the attractive and intelligent Eve. Noah is on a mission to get to know Eve better, however, his reputation has preceded him and Eve doesn't desire to be another notch on his belt buckle.

But unbeknownst to Eve is the real Noah. The Noah that few women ever really get a chance to see primarily because they don't seek him for those qualities-he's strong, intelligent, supportive, gentle, decisive and a positive role model that other brothas could take some pointers from. Will Eve let down her guard and open up her heart to Noah? But, oh, while, Eve is debating and being difficult, will another woman primarily in the form of another woman/hoochie mama named Ms. Regina just waltz in and waltz off on a white horse with Noah?

Eve's Prescriptions combines sexual tension, rich character and relationship development to make for a very good romantic genre storyline. This is a book that romance and non-romance readers alike can enjoy. Edwina Martin Arnold has a strong debut and a promising career as a romance writer.

I was so excited when I heard a book of The Misfits was coming out, my favorite movie with my favorite stars. They layout is beautiful and the pictures are great. I only gave the book 3 stars because it didn't tell me anything 'new' about The Misfits. Just another book with the same things that have been written over and over agin. But for any die hard Marilyn, Monty, Gable, Huston, or Miller fans worth reading.

the way marilyn looks during this film and in this book is the way I want to remember her....I can't get her long, straight flowing hair, girl-next-door face, ski-slope nose, and fragile, vulnerable eyes out of my mind...it's not the comedian, dancer, colorized made up look she so often portrays that's everlasting; what is permanent and pertinent to this film is the haunted vision of such a beauty contrasted against untamed emotions and the naked wilderness.

A thoughtful, long-time, and loving friend just gave me this book as a birthday gift.

When I was almost six years old, my family was visiting Virginia City, Nevada. My mother overheard about the filming of "The Misfits" rodeo scenes in Dayton, Nevada, so we drove down for the afternoon, and re-visited Dayton on subsequent shooting days.

During the filming, we were sitting in the rodeo arena bleachers, close to where 'Roslyn' (Marilyn Monroe) runs down after 'Perce' (Montgomery Clift) is thrown from the bull. My mother still does a creditable imitation of Roslyn's cry of "Oh, Perce! Perce!" for our amusement.

This book brought back many special memories of those experiences. I feel as if I'm a part of this book, since they had such an impact on those early years of my life.

All in all, this is one of the best gifts I've ever received. Any film buff would also appreciate this book, to own, share, or to give--it's a gem.

I enjoyed the story behind the photos. It is an interesting look at the photographer, more revealing than Magaret Bourke-Whites biography. If anything is lacking, it could have included more photos.
