Book Contemplates the Complications of Relationships

In "Parallel Conversations," a new book by Nella Cleary, a teacher finds that running from problems often leads to more trouble.

(PRWeb) November 30, 2006 -- Running from problems typically leads to more problems. In "Parallel Conversations," a new book by Nella Cleary, a teacher finds this out the hard way after his academic reputation takes a hit.

Christopher Robin Thorne leaves England to pursue a teaching post at a woman's college in Massachusetts. His sister's husband, the school's first male president, has encountered some bad publicity. Leaving his ex-fiancé across the ocean, Thorne attempts to escape his troubles.

After a forced welcome by his colleagues and the realization his students aren't taking him seriously, Thorne's problems seem to continue. He begins to fall for one of his students, risking not only his academic neck but that of his brother-in-law.

Cleary lives in a small New England town with her husband and a megalomaniac cat. She enjoys reading, writing and collecting first editions.

"Parallel Conversations" is available in softcover (ISBN 1-58939-904-8) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. The book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States and the United Kingdom. More information can be found at the author's official website, www.nellacleary.com.
