Book Description
Wanneer hulle haar vermoorde suster se woonstel opruim, ontdek Lizet Vos Marina se bucket list. En van toe af probeer sy om alles te doen wat op dié lysie is, al is al die gewaagde, gevaarlike dinge eintlik heel teen haar aard. Haar droom om eendag te trou en kinders kry te hê, skuif sy ver agtertoe. Totdat haar broer Evan se lewe met Anya Breedt verstrengel raak en Anya se broer Stephen en sy dogtertjie Soekie deel word van familiekuiers. Stephen se lewe het mooi volgens plan verloop. Hy het die groot stap geneem om sy eie platemaatskappy te begin, ’n jarelange droom, maar toe word sy vrou siek en voor hy kan asemskep, is sy weg en sy lewe heeltemal omver gewerp. En terwyl hy spartel om al die balle in die lug te hou, word die Vos-familie deel van sy gesin se lewe en begin Lizet Vos met haar donker hare en blou oë hom hinder. Om alles te kroon, is Soekie vanjaar in haar klas. Hy vermy enige besoek aan die skool, maar hy kan nie die uitnodiging om klasbesoek te doen na ses maande, ignoreer nie. Hy wil hom nog vererg vir Lizet, maar dan wys sy vir hom die tekening wat Soekie gemaak het. Lizet en Stephen moet beide opnuut hulle eie drome ontdek voor hulle lewe weer sin kan maak. Om weer te droom is die tweede roman in ’n reeks uit die pen van Elsa Winckler, en bou voort op die verhaal in Ware Noord, wat in Maart 2015 verskyn het.

Book Description
Alexander is autistic. When he is nine years old he is found dead in a bath of water. The only other person in the house at the time is his mother Ingrid. The circumstances arouse suspicion and the police take Ingrid into custody. Did she murder her child? And who could blame her if she did? She has had nine years of hell with her uncontrollable child, all those she cares about have deserted her, and not even the church has come to her assistance. Her efforts to find help for Alexander have left her bankrupt and she is emotionally and physically depleted. If it were not for Miriam and Gunter, she would surely never have endured the nine years... In this haunting novel Annelie Botes exposes the tragedy of autism and its devastating effect on families. Searingly honest, it brings home the inescapable truth that society can be cruelly indifferent to whatever it perceives to be aberrant.

That's easier said than done when you're the granddaughter of M. E. Thorne, famous author of the Elementia series, hailed as the feminist response to J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. And with a major motion picture adaptation of her grandmother's books in the works, Iris can say goodbye to her dream of making her own way in the music industry. When Iris and her brother get invited to the film set in Ireland, she's pretty sure the trip will be a nightmare. Except Iris can't deny the rugged beauty of the Irish countryside.
