The Counsellor

Gillian Jackson

Sinossi

She listens for a living. But will anyone hear her when she needs it most?
 
Ten years after the tragic loss of her husband, Maggie Sayer has built a quiet life in the close-knit town of Fenbridge. As a counsellor, she dedicates her days to helping others find hope and healing. With her dog Ben by her side and her best friend Sue keeping things light at the health centre, Maggie seems to have found her rhythm again.
 
But the lives of her clients weigh heavily on her shoulders. Julie, a young mother trapped in a violent marriage. Janet, burdened by a secret too painful to voice. Karen, haunted by a childhood marked by loss. As personal boundaries begin to blur, danger draws closer than Maggie expects.
 
Then Peter walks in, emotionally adrift and with demons of his own. Their connection is immediate but fragile, and Maggie must decide whether to retreat into safety... or take a leap of faith.
 
Tender and deeply human, Gillian Jackson's THE COUNSELLOR is a gripping story of courage and resilience.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews

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.
