Book Description
A Six Hundred Million Dollar Treasure Hunt! Barren Heath Isle hides a vast fortune, and the Danforth clan has been set against one another in a race to find it by cunning Lydia Danforth, who’s determined, even in death, to give her late husband's family as much trouble as she possibly can. Rule Danforth, Arnold Danforth’s son and legitimate heir, was deserted by his philandering father many years ago. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps and became a veterinarian, dedicated to the preservation of a breed of endangered Zebras. His leased property has been sold, so he is in desperate need of a new, permanent home where his rare equines can breed and thrive. When Mandy McRae, landscape architect for Barren Heath Isle, offers to help him in the treasure hunt, Rule doubts that her objectives are as pure as they sound. But there's something about her, something that attracts and troubles him. Yet, she knows the island, and his cause is heroic. Their 'all-business' relationship takes a hit when they find themselves lost in the thrill of each other's arms. Is Mandy McRae all she appears to be? Will the Danforth curse follow Rule all the days of his life? Or will he find a treasure on Barren Heath Isle worth far more than mere money? PRAISE FOR RENEE ROSZEL: "She is delightful, eloquent and humorous all in one." —Rendezvous Magazine "Talented...realistically excellent characterization" —Romantic Times

Book Description
DJ is David McLean's eldest grandson, so it stands to reason that he be the one to scatter his beloved grandfather's ashes. At least that's how DJ sees it. He's always been the best at everything—sports, school, looking after his fatherless family—so climbing Kilimanjaro is just another thing he'll accomplish almost effortlessly. Or so he thinks, until he arrives in Tanzania and everything starts to go wrong. He's detained at immigration, he gets robbed, his climbing group includes an old lady and he gets stuck with the first ever female porter. Forced to go polepole (slowly), DJ finds out the hard way that youth, fitness level and drive have nothing to do with success on the mountain—or in life. DJ's adventures start in Jungle Land, part of The Seven Prequels and continue in Sleeper, part of The Seven Sequels.

Pages : 340
Book Description
When Erika Drake, of the Westmount Drakes, met and fell in love with Marc Reiser, a Jew from northern Ontario, their respective worlds were turned upside down. Set against the backdrop of the first three years of the Second World War, Earth and High Heaven captured the hearts and minds of its generation and helped to shape the more diverse and inclusive culture we have today. Published in 1944, this classic novel was very timely; it spoke of the prejudices of its time, when Gentiles and Jews did not mix in society. Earth and High Heaven was the most successful novel of its time, winning many awards and prizes, including the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in 1945 (an award founded to reward books that exposed racism or explored the richness of human diversity). It was translated into eighteen languages and the film rights were purchased by Samuel Goldwyn for a remarkable $100,000. Earth and High Heaven was the first Canadian novel to top the New York Times bestseller list for the better part of a year.
