The Last Noel - Reuben’s Story (A Family Drama of Loss and Love at Christmas)

Darlene N. Böcek

Synopsis

A fireman. A duty. The one life he couldn’t save.

For firefighter Reuben Morales, life has always been about saving others. But when Halloween night delivers a devastating blow—his sister’s sudden death in a car crash—he’s forced to confront flames he can’t extinguish.

Grief is just the beginning. Reuben’s wife is hiding a secret that could shatter their family, his city is being ravaged by a shrouded arsonist, and the weight of leading the church Christmas pageant threatens to break him. On top of it all, his faith is crumbling under the crushing question: Why would God let his sister die without salvation?

As Reuben wrestles with his own fears of hell and failure, the love he shares with his wife and kids becomes his lifeline. But will that love be enough to pull him through the firestorm of grief, doubt, and the search for answers?

In a story that blends the relentless pursuit of faith from Fireproof with the redemptive heart of a Francine Rivers novel and the raw honesty of A Grief Observed, Reuben’s journey is one of loss, love, and finding hope where it seems least likely.

A novel of family, love, hope, and eternal decisions.

Praise for The Last Noel:

★★★★★ "I needed to read its message of hope during a rough patch… Isn’t it just like the Lord to use fiction to teach us?”

★★★★★ "I know Reuben’s pain… I'm now learning, through Reuben, to ‘rest in the Lord.’"

★★★★★★ "This book just blew my socks off! I gave it 6 stars—a rating very few books receive."

This Christmas, discover a story where faith is tested, hope is ignited, and redemption shines through the flames.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Scarlett Blackwood

It was supposed to be the best night of her life.

Selene Carter was ready for Prom but her supposed prince charming had abandoned her the second the bond with his true mate clicked into place. Now, she was nothing more than a forgotten shadow, surrounded by laughter and love she can't relate. She stood alone at the edge of the ballroom, humiliation sinking into her like ice-cold steel.

She didn’t belong here.

Until they walked in.

A kiss under the mistletoe.

One touch. One kiss. And the world shattered.

She was supposed to be invisible. But now, they saw her. And they claimed her.

They took her innocence, stripped away the control she held over her own body, and reveled in the way she trembled beneath them. Their dominance was unrelenting. And they weren’t finished.

They wanted more.

They were obsessed with her sweetness, her purity her innocence.

But she doesn’t belong in their world. She’s not the kind of woman they should want. Yet, as the Blood Moon rises, and as dark secrets about her own hidden power unfold, Selene finds herself torn between the man-made world she’s always known and the dangerous, intoxicating world of the Triplet Alphas. A power that binds her to them in ways she never imagined.

And Selene? She’ll have to choose. The life she’s always known or the Alphas who’ll never let her go.

guaranteed but at what cost?
