"A captivating story about the power of friendship . . . More than a novel, it is a recipe for happiness."--Anne Fortier, New York Times bestselling author of Juliet Every dress has a history. And so does every woman.Phoebe Swift's friends are stunned when she abruptly leaves a plum job to open her own vintage clothing shop in London--but to Phoebe, it's the fulfillment of a dream, and her passion. Digging for finds in attics and wardrobes, Phoebe knows that when you buy a piece of vintage clothing, you're not just buying fabric and thread--you're buying a piece of someone's past. But one particular article of clothing will soon unexpectedly change her life. Th r se Bell, an elderly Frenchwoman, has an impressive clothing collection. But among the array of elegant suits and couture gowns, Phoebe finds a child's sky-blue coat--an item with which Mrs. Bell is stubbornly reluctant to part. As the two women become friends, Phoebe will learn the poignant tale of that little blue coat. And she will discover an astonishing connection between herself and Th r se Bell--one that will help her heal the pain of her own past and allow her to love again. Praise for A Vintage Affair "Romantic and sumptuous, this is a must for fans of vintage dresses and vintage romance."--Hester Browne, author of The Little Lady Agency "This colorful new novel has something for everyone. There is mystery, romance, great characters, as well as London and France."--Naples Daily News "Deftly blends past and present, romance and mystery, and a theme of forgiveness and redemption."--Mary Kincaid, HuffPost
Where the eye sees the brushstroke, the heart sees the truth. At thirty-five, Gabriella "Ella" Graham is a successful portrait artist in London. She captures the essential truth in each of her subjects' faces--a tilt of the chin, a glint in the eye--and immortalizes it on canvas. But closer to home, Ella finds the truth more elusive. Her father abandoned the family when she was five, and her mother has remained silent on the subject ever since. Ella's sister, Chloe, is engaged to Nate, an American working in London, but Ella suspects that he may not be so committed. Then, at Chloe's behest, Ella agrees to paint Nate's portrait. From session to session, Ella begins to see Nate in a different light, which gives rise to conflicted feelings. In fact, through the various people she paints--including an elderly client reflecting on her life and a woman dreading the prospect of turning forty--Ella realizes that there is so much more to a person's life than what is seen on the surface. And as her portraits of Nate and the others progress, they begin to reveal less about their subjects than about the artist herself. Look for special features inside.

Ontological and Historical Dimensions of Salvation According to Joseph Ratzinger

For Joseph Ratzinger, the separation between ontology and history constitutes the crucial problem that underlies all the difficulties of contemporary dogmatic theology since it affected the original unity of two essential dimensions of Christian revelation. This study delves into Joseph Ratzinger's approach to the problem, his account of the path that led to this separation, and into some key insights, drawn from his understanding of human salvation that could contribute to overcoming this dichotomy that afflicts contemporary theology.Through the study of Joseph Ratzinger's writings, Troconis highlights the relational and existential character of the theology of one of the best-known and most influential Catholic thinkers of our time.
