Split the Difference

Set in and around Main Line Philadelphia, Split the Difference is filled with scandal. Stuart Crane has a narcissistic disorder, stealing hearts and with larceny in his own heart, committing a list of improprieties that take him on a road to destruction. He fantasizes about power, success, and attractiveness, believing that he is special and above others. He learns a surprising truth about a family member and, ignoring what should be important to him, charges ahead with his own selfish motives. Stella's beauty is mesmerizing. She completely lifts his fragile self-esteem. Or does she? Is she enough to keep Stuart away from a ruinous course? They have provided themselves with a lifestyle exceedingly difficult to maintain and Stuart has figured out a way to keep up appearances. Will this country girl's life come apart at the seams? Stella came from nothing and worked hard to change from overalls to fancy clothes, fancy cars, and beautiful homes. Will Stuart's lies send her back to a life she yearned to leave? Split the Difference will hold the reader's attention from beginning to end while Stuart, like an artist, paints scandal throughout the pages. Will he paint himself into a corner? Will humiliation and disgrace destroy the image he has worked so hard to create?
