A Woman’s Life is a three-book series Marie Ferrarella published between 1991 and 1994. The books share a focus on women at turning points, dealing with choices about love, work, and identity. Sapphire and Shadow opens the series, followed by Choices and Flash and Fire. Each stands alone with its own heroine and love interest, but together they explore what it means for a woman to define her own path.

Published under a different imprint from Ferrarella’s standard Silhouette and Harlequin titles, these books lean a bit more toward women’s fiction in tone. The romances are still central, but there is more room here for the heroines to wrestle with questions that go beyond who they will end up with. Fans of Ferrarella’s lighter work may find these books a welcome change of pace.
