Product Description
Thanks to a presidential pardon, the Sisterhood can put their fugitive
days behind them and resume their lives in peace. Still, all the women
admit that lately things are a little too calm and peaceful. Meeting up
for the first time in months to celebrate Kathryn's birthday - in the
City of Sin, no less - seems like the perfect antidote. But before they
can kick up their heels something too big to pass up is dropped into
their laps. The time has come to deal with Enemy Number 1, aka, Hank
Jellicoe. Wanted by the FBI, the CIA, and Homeland Security for
starters, President Connor, herself, has run out of patience with their
lack of results. Only the Sisterhood, with their special blend of guts,
imagination, and friends in all places are capable of pulling off the
impossible - of hunting down this monster and taking him out once and
for all.

Noah is concerned when he comes home after a tiring day at work and discovers there is no food on the stove! He quickly searches for his wife, Megan, and when he hears her singing he knows exactly what is going on. Easter is Meggie’s favorite holiday, and she had clearly started planning for the Easter Egg Hunt she organized for her workplace every year. It wouldn’t be a problem except that Megan was diabetic, and she was also allergic to chocolate, and it was going to take an extreme spanking to make sure Megan would stay out of the chocolate bunnies. Megan can’t believe that she was foolish enough to get caught with chocolate on her breath, and she knew that there was nothing she could say that would save her backside from the spanking Noah planned to give her. Even worse than knowing her bottom was going to be so sore she couldn’t sit down, was the migraine that was slowly creeping over her and making her ill! But, when Noah told her he thought she should give up planning the Easter Egg Hunt and permit someone else to take it over, Megan promised she would stay out of the chocolate. Noah made her a promise in return… If he caught her with even one piece of candy, chocolate or otherwise, he would spank her every day until Easter was over! Megan knew her husband was serious but would she be able to avoid all those chocolate bunnies…? Views: 51

Until the first edition of Steven Spielberg: A Biography was published in 1997, much about Spielberg's personality and the forces that shaped it had remained enigmatic, in large part because of his tendency to obscure and mythologize his own past.
