The Sure Thing
Melissa Hartman
Dory Moraga, the Emmy-wining TV reporter assigned to cover the quake’s aftermath, interviews Chris…
And so begins what seems as idyllic relationship between two gifted, successful, high-powered women.
But Dory feels unremitting pressure from her Chicana heritage to excel, and it pushes her into taking chances. Chris’s profession, on the other hand, has taught her that life has more than enough uncertainty without seeking it. When Dory takes on a life-threatening “thrill-addicts” series for television, Chris challenges her motives.
And Dory walks out. Devastated, Chris finds a measure of consolation in the arms of research assistant Evvie…
And Dory finds all the peril she could ever dream of. In South Central Los Angeles. When the verdict is announced in the trial of Rodney King.
Melissa Hartman’s fine debut novel brings to life the dangerous beauty of Los Angeles, the stresses on its dynamic, diverse population and in the very foundation of America’s fragile city of dreams.
The Sure Thing is a romantic novel about love and risk, a prophetic novel of today’s headlines.
