Summary
In which Therese is a trust-fund baby struggling to hold onto her nightmare of a summer job. Gen swears up and down that Carol is an (incredibly unwilling) sugar daddy. Carol has no clue what a sugar daddy is (and would rather not find out, thank you Genevive) - she’s just trying to make it through the summer with the world’s least competent research intern. Dannie is increasingly concerned that Therese has unwittingly joined a lesbian cult. Richard doesn't understand why Therese is so insistent their first date is at Thanksgiving dinner with her father, but hey, at least she's finally agreeing to go out with him - right? Right? And Abby is surrounded by idiots - it's going to take at least 10 years off her lifespan.

Summary
For almost a decade, she’d been attempting to get her music career off the ground. At 18, Therese arrived in Los Angeles with no contacts, no connections, and absolutely no friends. She’d worked dozens of odd jobs in bars and restaurants and retail, sometimes quitting, sometimes fired for skipping shifts to play last-minute gigs. When she couldn’t afford rent, she’d beg her landlord for a few more days, and then walk dogs or clean houses or pull weeds to get just enough to not get herself evicted. For so long, it had all seemed so pointless. Breaking her back and for what? It wasn’t until the past two years that she finally felt the fruits of her labor. And finally, Therese simply…Blew. The Fuck. Up.
Even in the most optimistic, rose-tinted fantasies of her career, Therese never imagined she’d be taking a casual afternoon stroll around Silver Lake Reservoir with Carol Aird, a singer whose celebrity spanned nearly Therese’s entire lifetime. But then again, she’d also never imagined Carol Aird would go out of her way to publicly call her a hack, either.

Then, there’s Abby. Carol and Therese try to unpack feelings over past hurtful actions. Can the three move beyond their history?

Summary
“You met Harge. And you're surprised someone would try to kill him?” Therese asked, watching the police officer through her sunglasses.
He glared out at a boat sailing on the lake, his arms crossed. “...I’m surprised it was you,” he explained.
After several moments of silence, Therese sipped her lemonade, the ice clinking in her crystal glass.
He turned his glare on her. “Don’t you have anything to say?” he demanded as he pulled out his handcuffs.
Therese considered it for a few moments, eyes darting between him, his handcuffs, and his holster. She raised her glass and toasted, “Happy Fourth of July.”

Summary
With the summer of 1964 waning, Carol Aird and Therese Belivet prepare for a relaxing last month before school resumes at Chester A Arthur High School in the Bronx. Life is slow and lazy. That is until Principal Fred Haymes comes up with a surefire way to build better staff camaraderie for the 1964-1965 school year, sending Therese on a distasteful and impossible mission. There is no shortage of advice, support, training, and exercises from helpful and loving friends and family– from Deirdre and the girls to Jeanette Johnson and her circle. Even a former student steps into the fray to lend a hand.
Will Therese survive? Will Carol lose her mind? The gang from ‘In the Year of Hagoromo Chalk’ and ‘In the Year of the Dragon’ are returning with a new adventure.
A bit of silliness... A tad of fun... Fluff and and a wisp of angst sprinkled throughout the chapters.
This multi-episode story features Carol, Therese, and secondary characters from ‘Hagoromo Chalk’ and ‘Dragon.’ ‘Just the Way You Are’ follows shortly after ‘My Special Angel’ and ‘The Children’s Hour.’ Readers can read as a standalone or part of the broader arc of the past stories.

Summary
“Stop. Stop, I can see you trying to think your way out of this.” God, Mom said they were the same when they thought too hard, that they looked just the same. “I’m asking exactly what you think I’m asking, now answer.”
“I…it was a long time ago.”
“Not to me.”
“Rindy, it’s not the time for—”
“No. No, you don’t decide that anymore. It is the time because I say it is, and if you disagree, if you lie to me again—”
“I never lied to you. I—”
“If you lie to me again, if you try to talk around it, I will go back out there in front of Grandma and Grandpa and everyone else, and I will make such a scene that not even you can smooth it over. It’ll be all anyone talks about when they think of you, for years. At least as many years as you spent…” Rindy stopped, breathed, stared him down.
"Rindy, I...please."
"Dad. What did you do to my mother?"
...
For years, Carol protected Rindy from the truth of who her father could be, what he was capable of in his worst moments. When Harge’s sins comes back to haunt him, he’s not the only one who suffers.
