Any Woman's Blues, first published in 1990, is a tale of addiction and narcissism-the twin obsessions of ourage. World-famous folk singer Leila Sand emerged from the sixties and seventies with addictions to drugs and booze. Leila's latest addiction is to a younger man who leaves her sexually ecstatic but emotionally bereft. The orgasmic frenzies trump the betrayals, so she keeps coming back for more. Eventually, Leila frees herself by learning the rules of love, the Twelve Steps, and the Key to Serenity in an odyssey that takes her from AA meetings to dens of sin, parties with names worth dropping, and erotic gondola rides.

Tobias a Josephine sú deti prisťahovalcov a ako stovky ďalších očakávajú, že najideálnejším miestom v Amerike, kde sa človeku splnia všetky túžby, je Hollywood. Prirodzene, aj ich kroky vedú do Kalifornie. No prichádzajú sem už ako Toby a Jill. Zatiaľ čo Jill sem dohnala nešťastná láska, Toby odmalička sníval o tom, že sa stane slávnym komikom. Keď zistí, že talent nie je jediný predpoklad úspechu a rovnako dobre treba hrať na javisku i v živote, jeho hviezda začína stúpať. Závratná kariéra, sláva ani peniaze ho však nevyliečia zo samoty, nedôverčivosti a strachu, ktorý prežíva hlboko v duši. Jill na tom nie je lepšie. Okrem hrozného tajomstva, čo v sebe nosí, sa nevie zmieriť so zistením, že za všetko musí platiť vlastným telom. Napokon sa ich cesty stretnú a nezáväzný flirt sa premení na vášnivú lásku, ktorá im pomáha prekonať chvíle, keď sa rozhoduje o živote a smrti. Ani jeden z nich však netuší, že stačí len krôčik, spoločné šťastie sa zrúti ako domček z karát a vystrieda ho nenávisť.
