Jenny Walker, a 55-year-old retiree, has been getting pretty bored with her life recently. And her ho-hum husband, Norm, has been little help - why, he's just as bored, and boring, as she - especially, it seems, when it comes to sex. They still love each other, but the spark has definitely gone out of their lives - both in bed and out. Jenny assumes that Norm's lack of interest in sex is her her own fault - as an older woman, maybe she just doesn't have what it takes to get him off anymore. Or, maybe she does....

Steve Morgan is one lucky son-of-a-gun. He just won a $96 million Megabucks jackpot. Steve is also a bit of a pervert - a pervert with a lifelong addiction to all things medical. To be more specific, Steve is hugely turned on seeing beautiful women being intimately examined by a male doctor. But it's not just the thought of being allowed to palpate and probe a pretty lady's private, slippery goodies that gets him; it's the feeling of power and domination the doctor gets, combined with the reluctance, vulnerability, and sheer embarrassment the woman feels.

Wow, what a vacation - simply wonderful! Amanda Ellison's week in sunny Florida was everything she could have hoped for. Almost. If only the spark hadn't gone out of her sex life so many years ago.

Maybe Doug has lost all interest in sex because he's lost all interest in her. Amanda is about to learn otherwise. All she has to do first is undergo the most embarrassing and degrading experience of her entire life.

Life is simply life. It's unfair and sometimes cruel. I should know. Since the moment I first drew breath, I was an orphan. Unwanted. Unloved. The small blonde girl everyone picked on. My story isn't one of happiness, if that's what you're thinking. The person I love most in the world is gone. And in the darkness I've been reborn, into a person I don't recognize. Her name’s Rosie. In the beginning, when our love first began, that name meant something different. That’s when the light won, always overcoming the dark. Where hope and happiness flourished.

Once upon a time, my heart was broken. Wrecked beyond repair. Then, I met him. A man who wasn’t like anyone before. Who didn’t see the world like others saw it. He wasn’t supposed to fall in love with me. The girl nobody wanted. A soul destined to save others, when she couldn’t save herself. I didn’t believe him when he said I was his. But darkness belongs with darkness. And love doesn’t always equal pain. Maybe, fairy tales do exist for women like me. A prince to hold bloodstained hands. Happiness to be found among the wreckage.

E.E. Cummings' military career culminated in a comedy of errors leading to his arrest and imprisonment for treason, as he memorably recounts in The Enormous Room. Cummings transforms a tale of unjust incarceration into a high-energy romp and a celebration of the indomitable human spirit that ranks with the best of its contemporaries, including the works of Hemingway and Dos Passos. This edition restores a significant amount of material deleted from the book’s initial publication in 1922.
