Book Description
A WWII vet’s suicide drives his daughter to uncover his troubled past in this “absorbing, poignant” novel from the award-winning author of Partial Eclipse (Publishers Weekly). Zelda Dawkins knows her older lover, Foxy, is going to leave her. As Zelda prays for something, anything, to prevent the inevitable, she receives a call from her mother. Zelda’s father, a World War II prisoner of war, has hanged himself. It’s not what Zelda wanted. It’s also not unexpected. Zelda comes from a family of unspoken things. Foxy is hers. But for Zelda, her father’s suicide is more than a wellspring for her grief, rage, and guilt. It was his final escape from the screaming nightmares that kept her awake when she was young—and the closely guarded secret he took to bed with him. It’s also stirring in Zelda memories and unanswered questions of her childhood: Why did her father seem to reject her in favor of a damaged neighborhood boy named Vassil? Why was he so taken with the boy’s mother, a prostitute? How did Vassil come to be so disfigured? And what happened to her father those five years in a Japanese prison camp? It’s time for Zelda to confront the past, its legacy of cruelty, and to unearth the secrets—her father’s and her own—that have a cast a shadow over her life. “A writer of addictive emotional thrillers—as if Ruth Rendell had got hold of an A. S. Byatt novel and stripped out the digressive bits.” —The Independent “Step into the world of family secrets, lies and whispers in the dark.” —The Sunday Telegraph

The Trumpet and the Swan

Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Joshua is a high school student with a desire to please in order to avoid conflict and just make life go smoothly. President Swan is back in office and has a desire to please in order to increase his following, what any powerful man wants. They are destined to collide, one sounding the trumpet, the other turning it to his own advantage. How does a boy go from algebra class to the White House? How can he please his parents and God when they seem to want different things? How can he know what God's asking him to do? How does someone who wishes Jesus would just come and tell him what to do find his way through the trial of tribulation? By learning one simple thing: You don't need to know everything. You just need to know Jesus. As believers, we are often looking for signs of the times. The Trumpet and the Swan is a timely reminder that in all the watching, we need to keep our eyes on the only one who matters - Jesus. While this story feels as though it could be set in our not-so-distant future, the truth remains the same, Jesus is the answer for whatever we face today, tomorrow, and in whatever our future holds. - Jenn The Trumpet and the Swan is yet another powerful end times story from author Lee Giles. Giles has a gift for writing books that not only brings the word of God alive through vivid story telling but leads the reader into deeper understanding of who God is and what we as Christians should be. This real time, end-of-days story encourages the heart of believers to "Fear God and nothing else, Love God and everybody else". Giles' masterful storytelling takes her readers on a journey that leads to the ultimate understanding that "all we need to know is Jesus". In an uncertain world that is spiraling out of control, this book brings you back to the basics of trusting the Father for everything. It will encourage the end time saints to stand firm and simply know Jesus. -K. Hart, house church leader This short novel pulled me in and would not let me go until I reached the powerful conclusion. You cannot remain the same after reading it. The struggles, triumphs, and faith of the young hero will force you to re-examine everything you have assumed to be true and normal, and to examine yourself and what you truly believe about God and His Word. You will emerge on the other side with a new focus on what is real, what is important, what is true; and you will be prepared to be a disciple of Jesus no matter what may lie ahead. - D. John, Missionary
