Rib (Paperback)

The economy tanked and Natalie Huntley's dreams fell apart. She thought there was hope on the horizon when she was invited to promote her gallery and artwork in New York City by her former college roommate. While catching up with her friends, Natalie learned that Seth Apten, her college boyfriend, experienced amazing success in life. He accomplished everything Natalie set out to do in her career but he did it bigger and better. This news shook Natalie's mental soda can, memories fizzed as she felt the burn of rivalry over her former lover's success. Did she ask for it? Rib (Reeb) is the pronunciation of the term for judgment in ancient near east covenant making. One of RIB's plots explores covenant agreements, specifically, the blessings of keeping and the curses of breaking promises. Natalie remembered making a covenant on with Seth on her train ride home to Providence. In her remembrances, she shares what most modern women think about certain subjects but never say.
