NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 2, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bethany Bourgeois talks about love, life, and friendship in her latest release through Xlibris. Mirror...Mirror is a novel about five women friends and the enduring truths affirmed by their unique situations.
In a setting faintly resembling the hit TV show, Sex and the City, Bourgeois chronicles the story of five successful women with seemingly perfect lives. Unknown to many, this impression of perfection is refuted by the problems that beset each one -- an unwanted consequence of infidelity, drug addiction, a string of Mr. Wrongs, the loss of a loved one, and a shocking deadly illness. No matter how desperate or disgraceful the turns their lives take, Bourgeois portrays each woman's certainty in the lifelong steadfastness of their friendship.
Through her five protagonists' lives set in festive New Orleans, Bourgeois demonstrates the complications that people create in their lives. While this may be the case, the experiences of Bourgeois' characters show that things aren't always as they seem and at second glance, a mirror's reflection can show hidden "Depictions of Shattered Glass."
"With the prediction of a mystifying tarot card reading, [The five women] learn... that things aren't always as they seem, while acknowledging the importance of gaining control of their fate... before it is simply too late," Bourgeois expresses.
This book brings a sense of morals to light, giving a profound message about the mistakes that can be changed. and the ones that can affect you -- for the remainder of your life.
Mirror...Mirror is available for sale online. For more information on this book and for orders, interested parties can go to www.bethanybourgeois.com or www.Xlibris.com.
