1989, Botswana. 
A marriage on the edge. A death that still haunts the desert. 
When the Australian pilots’ dispute explodes, journalist Verity White and her airline-pilot husband, James, see their hard-won careers collapse overnight. Bound by loyalty and fifteen years of history, Verity follows James to Botswana, where the wild beauty of the Okavango Delta promises a fresh start—and instead exposes every fracture in their marriage. 
Adrift in the isolated safari camps, Verity stumbles on the echoes of an old tragedy: a hunting trip in the Kalahari that ended in a young man’s death. As she begins to ask questions, she’s drawn into the orbit of Starky Willis, a charismatic safari operator with a past knotted tightly to that night—and to whispers of illegal wildlife killings that stain the desert silence. 
As poachers, old loyalties and buried guilt converge, Verity must decide what she’s willing to risk: her marriage, her life, or her chance to finally reclaim herself in a land where every choice has a cost.

    The amazing life story of a quadriplegic monk during the Middle Ages 
One of the most brilliant minds of the Middle Ages, Herman of Reichenau was a severely crippled monk who, though he was marginalized and even mistreated by his fellow monks, is celebrated to this day for his groundbreaking scientific work and the beauty of his musical compositions, among them "Salve Regina." A quadriplegic since childhood and brought to the monastery at an early age, Herman lived at one of the most influential and powerful Medieval monasteries, situated on a small island in the Lake of Constance on the modern-day border of Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. As he grew and studied, investing his hope in the medical promises of the time to alleviate his physical ailments, his days meandered between deep despair and his growing faith. When his music was played and sung, an exhilarating joy entered the whole community, and the monks came to see the extraordinary spiritual strength, beauty, and true happiness coming from the weakest among them. A deeply encouraging book about the life of a man who overcame numerous obstacles, this work captures the grandeur of the human spirit.
