As she begins a relationship with Thomas G. Paine, she asks herself: Is the pursuit of happiness worth the risk? Tom, a formerly best-selling author who hasn't published a book in seven years, is trying to get his life back on track a year after separating from his wife. Although unrelated to Tom Paine the revolutionary, he has built his career publishing novels under the titles of his famous namesake: Common Sense, The American Crisis. Sherry and Tom play a game in bed, telling stories as a prelude to sex. As he at last begins a new book, neither can imagine that their entanglement will upend both their lives and spark a national conversation about artistic legitimacy and the rights of women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7402420\"\u003eMeg Bortin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ten16 Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645380320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645380327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC027020\"\u003eRomance | Contemporary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC034000\"\u003eLegal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ten16 Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51489960657183,"sku":"9781645380320","price":28.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/6953\/0143\/files\/img_3d4e2807-d4fc-42a3-8166-465fe8b010f7.jpg?v=1766770639","url":"https:\/\/www.mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/the-rites-of-man-9781645380320","provider":"MOCorrectionsbookstore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
