Jo Henderson's idyllic life on a remote, family-operated resort is shattered one April day by a killer snow storm. A happy marriage spanning more than three decades hasn't prepared her for the road ahead - one with seemingly impassable roadblocks painted with the names love, uncertainty, ecstasy and guilt. During the first season on her own, an encounter with sports figure Mike Talbot literally starts off on the wrong foot. One misstep leads to another and tragedy follows. Where to turn? Her brain is telling her one thing, her heart is telling her another, and her gut instinct is saying "listen to me". A solid shoulder named Tony DeMarco offers his strength for her to draw on. From the incredible beauty of Northwestern Ontario where the sunsets are beyond description to the cosmopolitan skyscrapers of Toronto and scuba diving off the Florida Keys, uncertainty follows. Try as she might, Jo can't forget - but the real problem lies in the remembering. A strong woman, Jo is determined to fight her way through the miasma of pain and guilt threatening to keep her from finding her promised tomorrow.
Edward Joseph Whittaker is dead. He's lucky. A quick death in a car accident robbed his widow of the satisfaction of killing him slowly. After Helen Whittaker's husband dumped her for a much younger woman then is killed in an automobile accident, she learns that her finances are as dead as he is. How can a 56-year-old bridge player compete in today's competitive work force? Several failed interviews and one part-time job later, she starts her own head-hunting agency for seniors. With a little help from her friends, she has a successful career launched. Add an interesting man from her past, a train wreck, a greedy mistress, and a hitherto unknown little bundle of joy and life as Helen knows it is changed forever. "A beautiful story that encompasses the fundamentals we all desire: compassion, humour, romance, mystery, friendship and misadventure. Helen Whittaker wondered why her high-school sweetheart, Gerald Mercier, had disappeared. Now, 25 years later, she bumps into him in the lobby of the building she calls home. Will Helen fully recover from the accident? The gals, Stella, Olivia, Sarah and Margaret set out to find the truth, but every action causes a reaction. Edward is gone but the mess he left behind cannot be swept under the rug. 'He had the audacity to die before she could kill him.'" -- Catina Noble, author of Katzenjammer (Twig Works, 2015)
Three white sisters return to their Caribbean island home to find their family living in poverty and mental anguish. Each sister responds to the family's plight in different ways - seeking change through romance or politics or money. Intenselyautobiographical, The Orchid House describes a colonial society in decay as seen through the (usually) loyal eyes of the sisters' childhood nurse, Lally: "Beauty and disease, beauty and sickness, beauty and horror: that was the island."First published in 1953, it was republished in 1982 as a Virago Modern Classic. It was later filmed by Channel 4 for a four-part series (1991) with Diana Quick, Frances Barber and Elizabeth Hurley (available as a DVD).This edition has a new and incisive introduction by the Dominican scholar Schuyler Esprit, which casts a fresh and contemporary eye on Allfrey's life and work.

Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World

Occasionally, the world produces one of those rare thinkers that alter the course of history. Disney reinvented entertainment, Einstein revolutionized science, Edison lit up our lives with the light bulb, Bell got the world talking with the telephone ... and Fender revolutionized music. If you think about it, Leo Fender has influenced every person on earth today - at least everyone who has ever heard a song. Guitar Player Magazine declared that Clarence Leo Fender is the father of the solid body guitar. Not only did he invent it, but Leo's guitars were used by everyone from Elvis Presley, to Eric Clapton and from Jimmy Page to Jimmy Hendrix. Indeed, Rolling Stone Magazine published a list of the world's top 100 guitarists, and 90 of them used one of Leo's guitars on stage, and the others used guitars that copied Leo's inventions and concepts. Leo Fender was shy, had one glass eye, and was nearly deaf. Yet, from the small town of Fullerton, California, he built an iconic worldwide empire that is worshiped by the rock stars themselves. The highest price ever spent for music memorabilia was not for Michael Jackson's glove, original Beatles' handwritten lyrics or even Elvis' killer pantsuit. It was for a Fender Stratocaster, which sold for a staggering $2.7 million. Written by the wife of the late Leo Fender, for the very first time, this book provides a rare look into the wonderful mind and world of this quiet genius.

"Go where?" Ping asked Chebucto. "You've been banished twice. You have nowhere to go." Growing up, no matter the era or place, can be terrifying. Chebucto understood what the medicine man told him to do, but couldn't do it himself on the ancient northeastern coast of North America. Meanwhile, adults in a local group called the Dire Wolf Alliance, tried to rescue and find homes for widows and orphans traumatized by the violent Death Runners who bludgeoned their way through Zana. The story, told by her spirits Baasee' and Grandfather Kwaiikit, helps Deloo, the protagonist of Phyllis Fast's two earlier books, 'Half-Bead of Fundy' and 'Midnight Trauma', come to grips with her own recent widowhood.
