Books Written By Rachel Maddow Novels & Stories

Noah's POV "Rachel Houston," Juliet’s voice echoed through the room, calm but ringing with finality. The moment she said it, I felt like the air had been sucked out of my lungs. Rachel Houston, the woman behind RA Lavantado, the brand everyone had been talking about for years. How could this be possible? Rachel, of all people? The same Rachel who had been a ghost since that one night, the same Rachel I had thought was out of my life forever, was now standing before everyone as a global fashion icon.

"We also know, that when they issue dire warnings, sometimes they come true. Have you been back to the asylum again?" "No, "Rachel answered, averting her eyes. "I haven't had the time. " Which was a complete lie of course. Now that her work schedule was hardly packed, she spent her evenings watching Brazilian telenovelas on cable. She didn't want to risk running into Galen Munroe and feeling the desire he awakened in her. What she sensed from him that night, was something so rare, so precious, that she almost wanted it to remain in her mind as her fondest memory. A once off meeting had opened her heart, to a man she barely knew.

If I need companionship, I should just get a dog. “Hiking Machu Pichu. Attending Carnivale in Rio de Janeiro. Cliff-diving at Maunawili Falls. Backpacking in Europe.” Rachel closed the folder and set it on the table beside her, swiveling her plush leather chair towards Caitlyn. “And an MD/PhD in Molecular Genomics.” Uncertain what she was supposed to say, Caitlyn lifted one shoulder in a slight shrug and nodded. “For as quiet of a woman as you are, you’re quite an adventurer.”

She wondered if he had made plans for dessert. “Go away and let the chef create his masterpiece,” he joked. Rachel went into the living room and opened the envelope. She began reading the galley copy of her book, flipping through several pages and making notes in the margins. Alex noticed she was becoming more and more agitated with each turn of the page. Her eyes were focused in a glazed stare of disbelief as her pen furiously crossed out whole sections of text. “Alex, I have to make a call. Do you mind?” Rachel didn’t wait for his answer. She stormed into the bedroom and grabbed the phone. After three rings, her agent picked up.

“This is exactly what we needed. Honest conversation about impossible balancing, specific about costs, clear about privilege, universal about challenges. It’ll help so many women.” “Or it’ll get me criticized for complaining despite advantages.” “Both. But mostly it’ll help. Trust me.” The book was titled “Good Enough: Confessions of an Imperfect Working Mother.” Release date: October, during awards season for other films but after Seraphine’s campaign chaos had ended. “You’ll need to do publicity,” Rachel reminded her. “Book tour, interviews, events.” “Local only. Virtual when possible. Minimal travel. That’s non-negotiable.”

Tay asks and looks at me. “Oh no” Rachel realizes Tay didn’t know about me being the best-selling author, and I clear my throat. “Um, Rachel is the one who published my book when I was still in school.” I tell him. “You have a published book?” he asks with his eyes wide open. “Yep, and she is the best-selling author ever since her book was published. I’m sure you have heard of a book called ‘Behind closed doors?” Rachel asks Tay and his mouth half opens.

She was beautiful in an effortless way that made Emma feel a sudden, unexpected stab of something that might have been insecurity. "She's lovely," Emma said, trying to keep her voice neutral. "She is. Rachel's incredibly talented—her book is actually literary fiction with romantic elements, so there might be some crossover appeal with your readership." Jake's tone was professionally enthusiastic, but Emma caught the way his eyes lingered on his cousin with obvious family pride. Emma watched through the glass as Rachel Morrison charmed everyone in the room, her laughter bright and infectious. She looked like the kind of writer who had never questioned her own talent, never struggled with emot

And you are doing quite well in the Science department," Andrew smiled. Rachael continued checking the books, as she was beginning to fall in love with the books, especially the front book covers. "I type, edit my book, make the book covers, and also print them out in hard copies. No one, not even my mum or stepdad knows I write. This room is usually locked, and I only write from Mondays till Friday, when my stepdad is not around," Rachael nodded in admiration. She noticed the titles of all the books, but was caught off guard with two particular titles which were: ' SAME-SEX ATTRACTIONS, and WALLOW IN IT'. She knew in her heart, that it was the right thing to do.

, Rachel grunts. I want to say "Why", but I don't want to risk sounding like a creep so I whatever her and go back to going through the rest of the shelf even though I'd done that a thousand times before. I drag my hands across the spines of the books; Kara Taylor's Prep School Confidential, Carol Wyer's The Secret Admirer, and Megan Goldin's The Night Swim. You would be subtle to call Rachel a crime-thriller addict - she's more of a crime freak. The Night Swim. There is a piece of paper sticking out of it. I pull it out of the book. Something is scribbled across it in Rachel's handwriting.

“Something outrageous. With a pulley system and a trapdoor. Something that says ‘adventure’ and ‘home’ all at once.” She smiled, her heart a warm, full ache in her chest. This was the man she had married. Not the besieged strategist, but the builder of treehouses. “I got a letter today,” she said softly. “From Rachel Mirren.” She felt him go still. “And?” “She’s written a book. About power, coercion, and the failure of institutions. She wants to dedicate it to ‘the resilience of survivors.’ She asked for our blessing.” The ghost of their old life, reaching out in the form of a dedication. Not a threat, but an acknowledgment.
