Book Description
Betsy Tompkins wants to be a photographer. But in 1896 on the Canadian prairies, women have two choices: marry, and be a wife, or stay single as a spinster. Betsy knows the spinster option is the only one for her. She's deaf, and hearing men live in a different world. One man has proven how cruel and terrifying they can be to her. Also, wives simply don't have careers--they cook, clean, and raise children. How could she possibly find the time to pursue a career? Sergeant James Macleod of the North West Mounted has a troubling secret. Leaving his native Scotland was a painful and life-changing choice, and he feels he can't return. He's determined to make a new life on the Canadian prairies. He'd like a wife and a family, but eligible women are scarce, and he's an educated man. He's just doing his job when he meets Betsy, but he sees his future in a new light. He wants her to be his bride. But James must honour his commitment: to keep the peace on the wild Canadian prairie, even though it takes him far away from Betsy and endangers his life. Injured and without hope, he finds the most unlikely friend, who helps him bring peace to his troubled soul, but it takes time. Will Betsy wait for him? Can he win her trust and her love?

**THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** "An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy." —Entertainment Weekly The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive. Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

Silent Lamp
Author: William Henry Shannon
Publisher: Crossroad Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
"William H. Shannon shares his intimate knowledge and unique insights in this new and exciting biography of the monk whose own autobiography became a bestseller much to his chagrin. Silent Lamp is the name given to Merton two years before he died by the Chinese philosopher John Wu--and a perfect metaphor for the healing light that still spreads from his life and work to people everywhere." "Silent Lamp is a reflective biography: it illuminates Merton's inner life and thoroughly chronicles his outer journey, telling the story in terms of the significant events and experiences that shaped his spiritual path. It sheds new light on the principal themes that Merton developed as a writer and teacher, from the renewal of monastic life to the poetry of Latin America, from the demands of interracial justice to the teachings of the Sufi masters." "As the author puts it, "This book attempts to look at the inner journey which alone gives meaning to the exterior one. I want to put the picture in the frame." More than any other book on Thomas Merton, Silent Lamp achieves that goal."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
