Book Description
This story follows two young critical care nurses, their friends and family, their loves and the patients they care for. The self-described ‘BFF's', although polar opposites, find themselves caring for their beautiful dance instructor (Eve) after she is violently assaulted and then become the obsession of her attacker. They must fight to save her life as well as their own. Eve's attack brings back memories of a case from six years ago. A mother and daughter went missing and were never to be found. Due to similarities, the agents re-open that case. Determined to find Eve's assailant (and the missing mother/daughter), the agents embark on a hunt that takes many sharp turns. Beasts come in all forms and lurk in infinite darkness. The town's ‘Beast' becomes obsessed with Davia and Holly, and stalks them at work and home. Meanwhile, a young teen is being held captive and hidden in a clandestine cellar. June Lovekin, the town's beloved author wrote, ‘The Magical Fairies of Lake Flourish', which quickly made her famous. Her book is about a community of magical fairies. The princess fairy ‘Violet' clips her wing on a branch and begins falling toward the lake. She must travel miles to find the special glue that will repair her broken wing, but first (and ironically) she too must get past ‘the Beast'. The captive teen lives vicariously through Princess Violet. After all, Violet's life is much more exciting and magical than hers in captivity. There are many stories intertwined inside this novel. The unique characters each have their own secrets and stories to tell (stories of love, passion, acceptance, courage and determination). This story will keep you at the edge of your seat, while bringing you tears of laughter and joy and a yearning for more.

Firestorm
Author: Edward Struzik
Publisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1610918185
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
"Frightening...Firestorm comes alive when Struzik discusses the work of offbeat scientists." —New York Times Book Review "Comprehensive and compelling." —Booklist "A powerful message." —Kirkus "Should be required reading." —Library Journal For two months in the spring of 2016, the world watched as wildfire ravaged the Canadian town of Fort McMurray. Firefighters named the fire “the Beast.” It acted like a mythical animal, alive with destructive energy, and they hoped never to see anything like it again. Yet it’s not a stretch to imagine we will all soon live in a world in which fires like the Beast are commonplace. A glance at international headlines shows a remarkable increase in higher temperatures, stronger winds, and drier lands– a trifecta for igniting wildfires like we’ve rarely seen before. This change is particularly noticeable in the northern forests of the United States and Canada. These forests require fire to maintain healthy ecosystems, but as the human population grows, and as changes in climate, animal and insect species, and disease cause further destabilization, wildfires have turned into a potentially uncontrollable threat to human lives and livelihoods. Our understanding of the role fire plays in healthy forests has come a long way in the past century. Despite this, we are not prepared to deal with an escalation of fire during periods of intense drought and shorter winters, earlier springs, potentially more lightning strikes and hotter summers. There is too much fuel on the ground, too many people and assets to protect, and no plan in place to deal with these challenges. In Firestorm, journalist Edward Struzik visits scorched earth from Alaska to Maine, and introduces the scientists, firefighters, and resource managers making the case for a radically different approach to managing wildfire in the 21st century. Wildfires can no longer be treated as avoidable events because the risk and dangers are becoming too great and costly. Struzik weaves a heart-pumping narrative of science, economics, politics, and human determination and points to the ways that we, and the wilder inhabitants of the forests around our cities and towns, might yet flourish in an age of growing megafires.
