  Elaine Rowe is a Toronto writer who likes to write for children (and others) about unexpectedly talented animals and resourceful women. After years of hiding her light under a bushel, she decided to see if anyone else likes her stories. As the author explains, "Old Wounds was sparked by a story I heard one evening on the CBC radio program 'As It Happens,' just as Myra does in this story. When I heard it, I wondered what had happened all those years ago when this plane disappeared. Who was waiting at home for the vanished pilot? What happened--or didn't happen--because he never came home? Myra appeared in my imagination and told me her story."

  A tragic twist of fate. A predatory aristocrat. And one woman's desperate fight for purity in a corrupt world.
   
  When an impoverished peddler discovers he is the lineal descendant of the ancient and noble d'Urberville family, he sends his beautiful, innocent daughter, Tess, to claim kinship with their wealthy namesakes. Driven by guilt over a tragic accident that cost her family their livelihood, Tess reluctantly journeys to the sprawling Stoke-d'Urberville estate. But the people she meets there are not true family. Waiting in the shadows is the charming, manipulative, and relentless Alec d'Urberville, whose dark obsession with Tess will shatter her innocence and alter the course of her life forever.
   
  As she navigates the lush, atmospheric landscapes of rural England, Tess is torn between her profound sense of duty, the harsh judgments of Victorian society, and her own yearning for true love. Will her innate goodness and quiet resilience be enough to survive the cruel machinations of a world that refuses to forgive?

Listeners who crave immersive historical sagas, intense emotional stakes, and complex, defiant heroines will find themselves utterly transfixed by this unforgettable tragedy.

  From "an important writer in every sense" (David Foster Wallace), a novel that imagines a future in which sweeping civil conflict has forced America's young people to flee its borders, into an unwelcoming world. 
   
   
   
  One such American is Ron Patterson, who finds himself on distant shores, working as a repairman and sharing a room with other refugees. In an unnamed city wedged between ocean and lush mountainous forest, Ron can almost imagine a stable life for himself. Especially when he makes the first friend he has had in years—a mysterious migrant named Marlise, who bears a striking resemblance to a onetime classmate. 
   
   
   
  Nearly a decade later—after anti-migrant sentiment has put their whirlwind intimacy and asylum to an end—Ron is living in "Little America," an enclave of migrants in one of the few countries still willing to accept them. Here, among reminders of his past life, he again begins to feel that he may have found a home. Ron adopts a dog, observes his neighbors, and lands a repairman job that allows him to move through the city quietly. But this newfound security is quickly jeopardized, as resurgent political divisions threaten the fabric of Little America. Tapped as an informant against the rise of militant gangs and contending with the appearance of a strangely familiar woman, Ron is suddenly on dangerous and uncertain ground.
