The fundamental motivation driving Shannon's search for family is the feeling of loneliness and the search for a more complete self. This is the same motivation, of course, which drives the search for love. It is the notion that a woman will be become complete through romantic union with a partner. Roberts' target audience, which is basically the audience of romance novels in general, demands a heroine that finds love in the way that Shannon does. That is, the heroine cannot be desperately and selfishly seeking love. Such a pursuit...
The heroine must be doing something other than looking for a lover. Here, it was a more universal need, the need for family, that guided Shannon to meet the love of her life. It is Robert's skill as a novelist that allows her to seamlessly connect the more universal need for family and the more female-specific need for a partner which is indicative of romance novels. Thus, Roberts should be considered a novelist first and a romance novelist second.

Shame in My Game: The Economic Sociology of Poverty Poverty in America is such a politicized topic that it can be difficult for even the most neutral people to discuss. Part of the reason that poverty is so political is that most Americans have a romanticized notion of the free-market system and believe that the American dream is easily achieved if one applies sufficient hard work. However, the reality is
Life in Post-War Ukraine Before immigrating to the United States in 1996, I had lived my entire life in the Ukraine. I was born in 1960, only a decade and half since the Nazi occupation during World War II. As a Jew, growing up in the Ukraine was a difficult experience.

Kafka's Joseph K. goes through a confusing and bizarre experience over the course of the novel, learning more and more about the legal bureaucracy surrounding him without ever actually learning anything about it.
