  Castle Gate isn’t just set in the past — it’s haunted by it. 
  Step back in time, and across the veil. 
  Castle Gate is a gorgeously researched, spiritually resonant historical novel rooted in genealogy and the lives lost in Utah’s 1924 Castle Gate Mine Disaster. Woven with ancestral voices and emotional truth, it brings to life what it meant to be an immigrant, a miner, a woman, or a child navigating the injustices of early 20th-century coal town America—where company scrip ruled, housing was tied to the job, and Prohibition-era secrets ran deep. 
  But this is more than a glimpse into the past. 
  It’s a story the dead have been waiting to tell—one of resilience, injustice, and the healing power of being witnessed across generations. 
  Weaving together meticulous research and her own ancestral lineage, award-winning author Lisa Bonnice channels a tale both personal and universal—blurring the line between history and mediumship. This is the kind of story that keeps you walking longer, driving slower, and listening deeper. 
  “… we don’t really die until someone says our name for the last time.” 
  ✨ Narrated with wit and warmth by Scottish voice artist Eleanor Morton. 
  📎 Bonus PDF includes: archival photos, historical references, discussion guide, and a full list of the men lost in the Castle Gate disaster.

  A global soccer star’s epic ride to the 1950 World Cup places him in shooting distance of his dreams and his own death.  Gilbert Chevalier’s life is a mid-century miracle: wealthy, handsome, beloved by every woman he meets, and blessed with incomparable talents on the soccer field. And it’s all about to end. . . Gil’s father makes him swear off the sport, to focus on his studies. When he leaves the bourgeois comforts of Port-au-Prince high society and moves to the dizzying, jazz-soaked streets of Harlem to attend Columbia University, the promise is broken. Scrimmaging in Central Park, he’s spotted by the U.S. National Team’s coach and is recruited to play for the Americans in the 1950 World Cup in Brazil. And then he flies too close to the sun. Gil’s unraveling is the wild stuff of myth: a plea to God for salvation; secret messages smuggled across continents; lovers shuffled, scorned, and reclaimed; and journeys past the veil between our world and the afterlife. From the Caribbean to the States, to South America and back, Gil’s adventures are lush and lurid, and delivered with a breathless, breakneck pace synonymous with the world’s most popular sport. Death of the Soccer God by Dimitry Elias Legér is a passionate and improbable love story, and a roaring Pan-American tale about the price of fame. Inspired by the unbelievable yet true story of an intrepid young Haitian immigrant and energized with the high-voltage fervor of a packed stadium, Death of the Soccer God is a heady dance between life and death, an answer to the eternal question: can love save us?

  When eight-year-old Nora arrives at the Park Ridge School for Girls in 1932, she is sure there’s been some mistake. She can’t imagine why she and her little sister, Patsy, were torn from their mother only to be subjected to the cruel whims of the house matron, Mrs. Morris. When their mother fails to rescue them week after week—and Mrs. Morris drops hints that their mother may be a “fallen woman”—Nora begins to doubt they will ever see her again. 
  Nine years prior, at seventeen, Gertie Gufftason runs off with Lorenzo, the barker for the traveling carnival passing through her small coal-mining town in Southern Iowa. Thinking she is embarking on a fantastic adventure, Gertie is bitterly disappointed by the life that follows and is thrown into despair when the State removes their two daughters. 
  Gertie eventually tracks down her girls at the Park Ridge, but, expecting a warm welcome, she is shocked by Nora’s cool reception. Nora reluctantly returns home with Gertie and Patsy, determined to live a more perfect life than her mother. It is only when she discovers a secret Gertie has kept hidden all these years that Nora begins to fully understand—and forgive—her mother’s tragic choices . . .
