Deeds
Author: Joseph Amiel

DEEDS is the incomparable story of a man and a woman whose destinies are fated to unite as  secrets spawned by passion and greed compel a dangerously unholy union. — There was nothing in their lives--not love, compatibility, or the force of circumstance--that should have made them marry, or so it first seemed.   — Ralph Behr was a charismatic, ext...  more »ravagantly wealthy real-estate developer at the center of New York society. His brash manner and lavish lifestyle had made him an exciting and glamorous figure on newspaper front pages, and he was now about to undertake the most daring building project ever constructed--three 150-story towers.

Gail Benedict was a fiercely moral and independent-minded woman, a convict's daughter whose life had been a crusade against everything Ralph represented or aspired to.  His passion was to make money and immortalize his family's name; hers was to remake the world.  But secrets buried deep in their pasts force Ralph and Gail together.  Strangers and estranged, the first time they set eyes on each other since childhood is at the wedding neither wants--a wedding that will make her $100 million richer.

But DEEDS is more that than the story of Ralph and Gail's unlikely union.  Their lives entangle and clash with a wide assortment of unforgettable characters--Lorna Garrison, Ralph's embittered former mistress; Simon Kramer, Lorna's new lover and Ralph's unscrupulous business competitor, a man consumed by his determination to steal or halt Ralph's new project; Charles Brookhouse, Ralph's aristocratic banker; Brookhouse's daughter, Amanda, the beautiful, self-assured socialite with whom Ralph falls in love; and Amanda's grandmother, Nina, whose own past deeds threaten to disturb an already fragile equilibrium. There is also Milo, Gail's ex-husband, whom she continues to love, and, finally, there is Ralph's father, Henry.  The truth behind his own deeds of ambition pushes Ralph to confront the meaning of his pats and the purpose of his future.

For all of them, deeds comes in many forms: deception and passion, betrayal and true love, and Joseph Amiel's novel encompasses them all.  A gripping story that spans three generations, rich in ideas, complex in feeling and rivetingly told, DEEDS will hold the reader enthralled from the very first page.
