Book Description
As a doctor in Vietnam, Lily survived unimaginable terror and loss. Now, safely ensconced in a close-knit Maine town and a seemingly comfortable marriage, she no longer needs to be afraid, but she is: afraid of light, afraid of sudden sounds, afraid of seeing the wide-eyed child of war who haunts her. So Lily is unprepared for the act of betrayal that threatens to take away the one thing she cannot live without: her young son. Plunged into a bitter custody battle, befriended by a man with a heartbreaking secret of his own, Lily must fight–to escape her own memories, to survive an uncertain future, and to protect, above all else, the love between a mother and child.

Joyce's Ghosts
Author: Luke Gibbons
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022652695X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
For decades, James Joyce’s modernism has overshadowed his Irishness, as his self-imposed exile and association with the high modernism of Europe’s urban centers has led critics to see him almost exclusively as a cosmopolitan figure. In Joyce’s Ghosts, Luke Gibbons mounts a powerful argument that this view is mistaken: Joyce’s Irishness is intrinsic to his modernism, informing his most distinctive literary experiments. Ireland, Gibbons shows, is not just a source of subject matter or content for Joyce, but of form itself. Joyce’s stylistic innovations can be traced at least as much to the tragedies of Irish history as to the shock of European modernity, as he explores the incomplete project of inner life under colonialism. Joyce’s language, Gibbons reveals, is haunted by ghosts, less concerned with the stream of consciousness than with a vernacular interior dialogue, the “shout in the street,” that gives room to outside voices and shadowy presences, the disruptions of a late colonial culture in crisis. Showing us how memory under modernism breaks free of the nightmare of history, and how in doing so it gives birth to new forms, Gibbons forces us to think anew about Joyce’s achievement and its foundations.

How to Be a Ghost Libby Grace has no social life to speak of. The next thing she knows she’s standing in her son’s room with no body! What happened to her? Is she dead? The last place she remembers being is the local hardware store, but instead of her own body, she finds the corpse of the store’s owner. Libby must figure out who killed George Walsh. Along the way, she gets help from her reclusive neighbor, Ian McClain, who turns out to be one of the undead in a very different sense. How to Blackmail a Ghost Libby is a ghost, but Ian has assured her somewhere her body is still alive. Libby must find out what happened. Solving the mystery surrounding the murder of the hardware store owner only brought Libby more questions. While she's pretending to be a living person by going out on a date with the chief of police, someone murders the town busybody. Someone wants to pin the murder on Libby. If she doesn't take the wrap, her secret will be revealed. Now Ian tells her she's running out of time. Her body is losing the fight for life. How to Kill a Ghost Libby learns what happened to her body. Isabelle’s skills are the answer, but danger comes in multiples. Libby has to battle an evil she never imagined. Another murder may stop her from getting the answers. Sickness, a kidnapping, sacrifice, and the revelation of her secret could take away the one she loves the most and cause her to be banished from the world of the living.

She faces an eternity working menial jobs, hunting where it's safe, and holding onto the her flagging human emotions. Then she saves Milo’s life. Milo Beauron knows what Rue is. He wants to hire her. Milo’s attackers were demons, and they don't play fair. There are those who will kill to keep their secrets and kill to control of a powerful weapon. Cut off from the people she holds dear, Rue doesn't know who to trust. She meets creatures of darkness both good and bad, including Death. All she can do is follow her instincts, protect the weak, and stay alive. Fox in the Quarter A white fox enters Nathan’s apartment. Rue can see the fox, but Nathan can't see or smell him. Kitsune, a Japanese fox spirit, wants Rue to help him locate a missing woman. Rue's job seems simple, but now people are coming after Rue and Nathan, people with power she has never seen. There is a new darkness in New Orleans, and it could mean the end of all human and nonhuman kind. Wolf Ties Someone has killed Nathan's roommate, alpha of the most prominent werewolf pack in New Orleans. The police hold Nathan responsible. With days remaining before the full moon, Nathan can't afford to be locked up among humans. On top of that, he's out of control with grief and rage. Rue will do anything to Nathan, but she's running out of time. The humans can't learn his secret, and the pack can't learn the murderer might have been an enemy shifter. No matter how much her tracking abilities have improved, she can't locate the killer. Rue calls in a favor from another enemy. Surely, the wolves will forgive her for humiliation in the name of stopping a war. Night Fever Rue has a perfect plan for righting the wrong that has been done to Orin and Pammie. She has to break into a facility that is warded to detect and kill any nonhuman. Good thing Rue’s a resourceful vampire. After her venture, Rue’s met with a new challenge. Ghouls are loose in New Orleans, and they’re attacking humans. The humans call the resulting sickness Night Fever because it’s nothing they’ve ever seen. Anyone who gets the fever doesn’t just die--they are reborn as a ghoul. When the danger hits too close to home, Rue gets help from an unexpected source. She puts one friend in danger, unintentionally betrays another, and then makes a mistake she can’t ever take back.
