Edinburgh 1828 - a tale of two cities, the New Town, home to the elegant, the Old Town, home to the homeless and yet between them, home to the most famous school of medicine in the world. However that world could not yet boast any of those soothing securities that we take for granted today - anaesthesia, antibiotics, aseptic surgery, dental conservation and at, a simpler level, running water. A junior doctor, Sandy Webster, stumbling by chance on what we would now call an anaesthetic agent, comes into direct conflict with a senior doctor who considers it worthless and dangerous and in no need of any name but his fellow lodger and friend, James Simpson disagrees. His attempts to discover bodies for the anatomy rooms, take him to a remote graveyard and into the Grassmarket, where two enterprising Irishmen have access to a seemingly endless supply. A rival for the affections of Caroline, his childhood sweetheart, a Lord Provost losing his clothes in a spa opened by Caroline's father, major surgery on the kitchen table, a hairy landlord straight from the Old Testament,s a Polish mesmerist and a lovesick horse weave around him a web of lunacy from which it seems, he can never escape.

A Walk in Her Shoes is the story of Linda Ryan, a mom who is forced to make sense of her daughter Jenny's suicide through the only clue left behind - her journal. The story weaves together Linda's struggle with her own guilt and sorrow in the months following Jenny's death with Jenny's journal entries, which provide heartbreaking insight into the life of the troubled teenager. What begins as a painful discovery process for Linda turns out to be a gift, as Jenny reveals herself and her innermost thoughts through her heartfelt writing. It is the story of how loneliness and childhood angst can spin out of control and destroy a teenager's world - and forever change the worlds of those who love her. A Walk in Her Shoes will make you cry, but will also make you smile as you relate to the characters and some of the very human issues they deal with and learn from over the course of the story.
