<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Hot and electric...a love story waiting to explode."--<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/>He was tall, dark as bittersweet chocolate, and impossibly gorgeous, with a woman-melting smile. She was pretty and independent, petite and not too skinny, just his type. Franklin Swift was a sometimes-employed construction worker, and a not-quite-divorced dad of two. Zora Banks was a teacher, singer, songwriter. They met in a Brooklyn brownstone, and there could be no walking away.... <p/>In this funny, gritty love story, Franklin and Zora join the ranks of fiction's most compelling couples, as they move from Scrabble to sex, from layoffs to the limits of faith and trust. <i>Disappearing Acts</i> is about the mystery of desire and the burdens of the past. It's about respect, what it can and can't survive. And it's about the safe and secret places that only love can find.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Disappearing Acts</i></b> <p/>"A get-out-your-handkerchiefs love story.
