Her divorce final, Iris Layton wants to break with the past. But another past comes into her life when she finds remnants of an old farmhouse on her new subdivision lot and hears local legends about Hannah Davis, the witch-ghost said to haunt the place. Iris doesn't buy the stories, but she does find Hannah haunting her as she learns more about her unseen neighbor. And it is Hannah from whom Iris draws support when she faces a real-life threat that has nothing to do with ghosts. In her own time Hannah, too, faces a serious threat after a dying girl is left at her door. And Hannah is haunted by both past and present as she sets down the facts of her life for an unknown future. "If you've ever laid your hands on the stones of an old foundation and felt the history in their mossy chill, then Hannah's House is for you. Alternating between past and present, Joyce Allen shows us how much we share with our ghosts, and how our ghosts seek us out even in our spanking new houses. A fine read that will keep you turning the pages from first to last." Nancy Peacock - author of A Broom of One's Own: Words o



Twenty-one Candles - Stories for Christmas by Mike Mason For over two decades, award-winning author Mike Mason has been circulating Christmas stories to a select circle of his closest friends. Now he's sharing these classic Christmas stories with us. Praise for Mike Mason's Twenty-one Candles "It has been my delight to listen as Mike Mason read aloud many of these stories-a score and one more of narratives that circle like candlelight around a season when light is scarce. Now, reading them, they bring a unique brightness, because in one way or another they illuminate more than just snow scenes and families around hearth fires. With a light and often whimsical touch, Mason's tales speak of the way 'people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light' (Mt 12:16)." Luci Shaw author of Breath for the Bones: Art, Imagination and Spirit "The best moments of Christmas are spent in the evening by the fire, telling stories... stories of courage and conviction, of discovering anew 'peace on earth; goodwill toward men.' My friend, Mike Mason, has penned a collection of heartwarming stories to be told tim

A més d'aportar-nos els nutrients necessaris, la nostra gastronomia fa que el cor ens continuï bategant al ritme de la vida i dels sentiments. En cada plat de la cuina catalana, encara que sovint no ho sapiguem, hi ha espurnes de felicitat. Aquest és el gran secret del llibre que teniu a les mans. Després de l'èxit del seu darrer llibre, Fruits de la vida. Fruites i verdures per ser feliç, la doctora Pilar Senpau torna a sorprendre amb una obra deliciosa i profunda. Aquest nou volum és un ample recorregut per la gastronomia catalana, amb l'alenada poètica i el toc màgic, humà i entranyable de Pilar Senpau. Per estimar també ens fan falta vitamines i minerals. Un entrepà de pa amb tomàquet i pernil fa que els petons arribin més enllà del llavis; una truita de patates fa que recordem per sempre el teorema de Pitàgores i unes pomes al forn, que l'estrès d'un partit de futbol d'alta tensió no ens dugui a l'hospital.

Author and lecturer, Dr. Arthur Moore, has made a credible name for himself in books and interviews by denouncing faith, advocating science and reason and clashing with the voices of America's increasing religious majority. Despite his public success, he has made far more enemies than friends and struggles to maintain relationships with his homosexual son and the people in his life. After a freak tragedy leaves him briefly, clinically dead, a chance encounter brings him to privately question his worldly and cosmic perspectives. Arthur struggles with a newfound understanding of himself and a path that offers consequences for those he loves, and one he must inevitably reconcile with his established public image.

Letters Between Us is a powerful story of search for self, identity, of losing a friend and finding her in a deeper sense, and through her, making discoveries and gaining insights. Overman grips you with intimate, startling details so that you can't stop reading until you have reached the last page. Nahid Rachlin, author, Persian Girls and Jumping Over Fire Linda Overman's Letters Between Us is a clever, intricate, powerful novel, a tale of girls gone wild amidst the sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll of the Sixties and of the women they become. The story of Katharine and Laura-electrified with the possibilities of youth, grounded in the accommodations of adulthood, charged with the irony and tragedy-would be hard to forget even if simply told. But Overman is an artist, brave and skilled enough to put the pen in her characters' hands and let them write their own story of hope and disappointment, passion and desire. That makes Letters unforgettable. David Bradley, author, South Street and The Chaneysville Incident Cutting edge. A rarity. In an era of male "buddy" sagas, a story of a deeply tender relations
