Their lives converge in a Florida prison where Jen and Lolly have joined forces to put on a grant-funded drama production. As Jen works with these women, who are struggling to regain some sense of dignity in their lives, she begins to confront and accept her own past. Meanwhile, Lolly finds she is a hero to the prisoners, but that doesn?t make up for the way her sister resents her and the attention her illness brings.   Each must make decisions that dramatically affect the lives of others, and in the process find some kind of redemption.  Written with empathy and insight, From May to December is a powerful follow-up to MacEnulty?s previous novel Time to Say Goodbye.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49563970240785,"sku":"GOR009123936","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50597849989393,"sku":"GOR009108938","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1852424656.jpg?v=1751027784"},{"product_id":"time-to-say-goodbye-book-pat-macenulty-9781852424688","title":"Time to Say Goodbye","description":"When Vera Lee was found guilty of the murder of three people she believed she must have committed the crimes. If the jury and prosecutor said she did it, then she must have ? but then, she couldn?t remember a single thing about September 26th 1976.  Now, 25 years later, when a motel maid is found murdered in Gainesville Florida, Detective Rodney Ellis believes the crime may be linked to Vera Lee, the young girl he picked up so long ago, the stoned-out blonde in the bikini who fell against him and called him Daddy...  But Ellis discovers a connection that his superiors don?t want him to pursue. Working on his own time, he follows leads that take him back to Florida and into the eye of the hurricane, where he must battle the elements to save lives.  ?This is writing without pretence, but with real power.  Prose stripped down to its essence, and characters revealed in quick, sure-handed brushstrokes... an exciting and multi-layered performance by a writer of clear talent? James W Hall Praise for MacEnulty?s previous novels: ?A spare disciplined prose that no one will be able to read without thinking of Hemingway. But MacEnulty has made the style her own?  Observer ?MacEnulty writes with sympathy, wisdom and ? an unexpected blessing ? humour?

Pat's mother, who stood by her through her darkest years as a drug addict, was a small-town icon as a composer, pianist, organist, and musical director. She is suddenly unable to be the accomplished, independent person she once was. Now Pat has two goals: to help her daughter avoid the mistakes that derailed her own life, and to see her mother's masterpiece, An American Requiem, find a new life and a new audience in her mother's lifetime. Along the way, Pat rediscovers her own strength, humor, and rebelliousness at the most unlikely moments.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49910788751633,"sku":"CIN1558617019G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":51748131963153,"sku":"CIN1558617019LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1558617019.jpg?v=1751150690"},{"product_id":"free-at-last-book-pat-macenulty-9780983035749","title":"Free At Last","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51112927363345,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51112929886481,"sku":"NIN9780983035749","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0983035741.jpg?v=1751299577"},{"product_id":"suburban-mysticism-book-pat-macenulty-9780615606569","title":"Suburban Mysticism","description":"Life is an amazing adventure. Every moment contains remarkable beauty. Yet we are often hypnotized by popular notions that everyday experience will somehow leave us unfulfilled. So we climb mountains and visit holy cities. We search for beauty and yearn for opulence, all the while overlooking the simple truth that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. If we could just manage to get one eye open to glimpse that heaven, all the things that previously appeared unfulfilling would transform into magnificent opportunities for learning, growing and knowing new and wonderful aspects of reality that previously passed by unnoticed. This book is about opening that inner eye. It is one author's personal exercise in seeing beyond the simple forms of everyday life. It is a study of the invisible dynamics that give life meaning and make transformation possible in all situations, all activities, and all relationships.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53380861231377,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53380862345489,"sku":"NIN9780615606569","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780615606569.jpg?v=1775510699"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-pat-macenulty.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
