Andy Perry, female foreign student advisor at the University of Hawaii, Hilo, loves her job, but not the university bureaucracy she must deal with. She discovers an attempt by leaders at the top to turn the foreign student program into a cash cow that will fill the pockets of certain administrators and turn the foreign exchange program into an elitist and dangerous offering for visiting students from Asia and the Pacific. With the help of one of her mature foreign students, a close colleague on the faculty, and a principled dean, Andy Perry exposes corruption in the form of a complicated bribery deal and helps to expel the bureaucrats scheming to exploit the university.
Friends and lovers are not either/or. They can represent relationships on a spectrum or occur simultaneously. This novel, FRIENDS and LOVERS, explores Jennifer Jacobs' relationships with two men, Mark Anderson and Nathan Perlstein. Both bring excitement and growth to her professional and personal lives; both meet her needs in different ways. Her journey involves finding out first what she needs for herself -- independent of, and also engaged in, a partnership -- and then which partner offers the best complement for her.

Attorney Rachel Kahn, seeking a new life, takes her middle name, Noa, as her first name. In her mid-thirties, she leaves private practice in New York to work at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. on halting the illegal opioid trade. Working with Tony Palmer, a colleague from the CDC in Atlanta, she helps track drug-dealers in San Francisco and discovers new approaches in Seattle and Vancouver to confronting addiction, leading her to introducing harm reduction practices on Indian reservations where drug abuse is rampant. Noa's journey takes her from the war on drugs to harm reduction and eventually to drug legalization. Both Noa and Tony deal with family loss from illegal drugs. Their efforts to heal their families, as well as to assist abusers, result in a bond that evolves into love.
