Amy Bloom Synopses: I’ll Be Right Here is a standalone novel by Amy Bloom. After immigrating alone from Paris to New York in the aftermath of World War II, young Gazala befriends two spirited sisters, Anne and Alma. When her long-lost brother Samir joins her in Manhattan, the four form a tightly knit, often contentious found family that carries them into the twenty-first century.

Their lives are marked by the everyday rhythms of love, loss, and longing – passions both grand and small, joys and heartbreaks from the beginning of life to its end. Gazala and Samir build a home together; Anne leaves her husband for his sister; Anne’s daughter grows into her own, raising a child independently and finding unconventional love in a throuple. Through it all, these friends and their beloveds stand by one another – protective, infuriating, and celebratory – undaunted by societal expectations.

As the next generation navigates love, mistakes, and triumphs, the “Greats,” the four indomitable elders at the heart of this family, remain their constant, guiding and inspiring them through life’s unpredictable tides.

White Houses is a standalone title by Amy Bloom. In 1932, Lorena “Hick” Hickok meets Eleanor Roosevelt while covering Franklin Roosevelt’s first presidential campaign. Born into poverty in South Dakota, Hick has reinvented herself as one of America’s most prominent women reporters. Initially wary of the idealistic, patrician Eleanor, she soon finds their connection deepening – first into passion, then into a profound, enduring love.

Hick moves into the White House as the “first friend,” navigating its secrets alongside FDR’s own hidden affairs. Taking a role in the Roosevelt administration, she protects and promotes both Roosevelts, witnessing Franklin as both a brilliant president and a complex rival, while never losing sight of Eleanor, the love of her life.

From Washington, D.C., to Hyde Park, from Long Island to Manhattan’s Washington Square, White Houses spans the remarkable places and moments that shape Hick’s life, written with emotional depth, wit, and elegant insight.

Lucky Us is a vibrant, resonant novel about ambition and failure, luck and misfortune, the bonds of chosen family, and the pleasures and perils of human connection.
