The weight of a whisper

Anna Teleki

Sinossi

This book is dedicated to everyone who thrives to escape.

 
In the heart of a perpetually moving Paris, a city cloaked in winter's biting cold, two lives on opposite ends of society collide. A brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, adrift in a sea of professional setbacks and personal weariness, is haunted by the patients he couldn't save. His orderly world shatters when he accidentally strikes a young homeless woman.

 
Driven by an unexpected impulse, he takes her in, pulling her from the frozen streets into his pristine, solitary apartment. As the young woman, with her rusty-red hair and resilient spirit, slowly sheds the layers of grime and hardship, the surgeon is confronted not only with her desperate past—a university student forced to scavenge due to her mother's spiraling debts and addiction—but also with his own unspoken burdens.

 
"The Weight of a Whisper" is a poignant tale of unexpected connection, hidden struggles, and the profound impact two souls can have on each other. Can compassion bridge the chasm between their worlds, or will the whispers of their pasts keep them from finding solace and hope?

In outback Queensland, quiet and reserved teenager Leesa Richards disappears silently from her bedroom into the fog early one morning. Then cowboy Toby White leaves his pregnant wife Alice in a cloud of dust and mystery, never to be seen again.

But with her parents and the love of her life Mac pressuring her to stay close to home, will her quest to find the missing be over before it begins?

The Social Hour - A Decklin...

Faith Wood

As candles flickered, she pulled out a small stool then sat, resting her palms gently on the surface of the smooth wood. Then, again reaching into her robe pocket, she pulled out a small, sepia-colored photograph, resting it against a plain, black urn. 
With candle flames mirrored in her eyes, Amelia lit the cigar with one of the candles, blowing its thick, acrid smoke at the photo—and, it was then she spoke, her words unintelligible. Chanting her desires, she gently picked up the photograph, raising it to her God. 
And, there she stayed until it was done . . . 
Once again, author Faith Wood transports her readers into a world of intrigue and the unexpected. When The Social Hour’s Decklin Kilgarry pulls up stakes to embark on a new life in Miami, he never considered changes to his heart. His soul. Even so, as his investigation transforms from something routine and familiar into an undercurrent of darkness and corruption, he digs in, stunned when confronted with a person from his past—one whom he barely knows. Forming an unanticipated allegiance, mysteries unlock one-by-one, revealing an insidious truth. One, when illuminated, reveals a malevolent, treasonous intent—and, murder.
