Her private life is a little less bubbly. She has a passionate but not very promising live-in relationship with her boss’s dashing chief of staff, Jerry Morrissey. He offers her only a good time—but what a time! Can Marcia resist when a new man arrives on the scene, a man who is exactly the sort her family wants her to marry—bright, kind, attractive, wealthy, and charming—in short, too good to be real? Marcia is determined to find the right kind of man, as well as the right kind of life. Compelling and entertaining, Close Relations is about the things that are vital to all of us, about men and women, about sex, money, work, family values and about what we need most in today’s world—close relations.
