Beschreibung

There can come a point in life where you’ll always remember what came before and what came after.
 
Rachel is a thirty-year-old married Jewish woman who’s wanted a baby for a long time. Katie’s a thirty-two-year-old single, catholic woman who has been trying to find a man who’ll stick around. We follow the women individually as they find themselves pregnant—Rachel happily, Katie, not. As they enter their second trimester, they’re shocked to hear that there’s something very wrong with the babies they’re carrying. Rachel and Katie meet in a support group and bond as they help each other through not only the excruciating decision they need to make but through the issues that come with making that decision. The Stories We Cannot Tell explores friendship, loss, love, hope, and family.
 
Praise for The Stories We Cannot Tell
 
“. . . a fast-paced, beautifully written tribute to what we can and can’t control and who we love in the process. A true delight. This book is GOOD!”—Zibby Owens, author of Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature and host of Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books
 
“Leslie Rasmussen deftly delves into the heartbreaking world of difficult pregnancies and the tough decisions that need to be made along the way. I can only assume by the heart with which she writes this story, that she has some experience with it. The Stories We Cannot Tell will keep you turning pages just to see if it all works out.”—Laurie Gelman, bestselling author of the Class Mom Series
 
 “Keenly observed and brimming with empathy for characters who you can’t help but root for, The Stories We Cannot Tell explores the complexities of motherhood as well as our ability to choose who to call our family. Leslie Rasmussen brings a fresh and welcome perspective to women’s fiction.”—Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Everything Must Go.
 
“. . . brilliant, timely. Astonishing. Caught in the middle of a whirlwind of work—her words inspired me, lifted me, awakened me—yes, breathed life into me. She is a writer to be reckoned with. To be taken mighty seriously. She’s funny & poignant. A lethal combination. Given the world we’re living in, this book is a MUST read. Buy it, share it . . . gift it. Re-read it. I will—buy it, gift it, share it. Re-read it. Brava, Leslie. Brava!”—Amy Ferris, screenwriter, and author of Marrying George Clooney: Confessions from a Midlife Crisis

    Sometimes the only way to embrace tomorrow is to let go of the past. 
      
    Architect Nick Sinclair has just received the commission of a lifetime. Designing the new regional arts center is a plum job that could launch his firm into the big time. There’s just one catch. The arts center board wants a no-name landscaping company to design the grounds. 
      
    Landscaper Laura Taylor has poured blood, sweat, and tears into establishing her business, and she’s determined to succeed when she’s tapped to handle the arts center job. As she works to prove to Nick that she’s up to the task, sparks begin to fly—but a past trauma has convinced her that playing it safe with her heart is the wise course. 
      
    Nick has no trouble picking up Laura’s keep-your-distance signals, but as he gets to know her, his usual no-strings, play-the-field style becomes less and less appealing. In fact, she makes him long for a wife, family, and white-picket-fence life. But can he convince her to take a second chance on love? 
      
    In A Place to Call Home, bestselling author Irene Hannon delivers a sweet, touching story about two people overcoming a legacy of shattered trust and finding their own happily ever after.

    Even when I’m not chasing kidnappers, I don’t keep normal hours. I’m a journalist; late nights, burnt coffee, and energy potions come with the territory. When I get lost in a story or deep in pre-publication crunch time, I can’t quit just because the sun’s been down for eight hours.So when my best friend called me well after midnight to say she was being followed, I was already halfway out the door before the call could be hexed.I wasn’t fast enough. By the time I arrived she was gone; vanished from within an impenetrable magical ward.Now I’m running out of time to discover who took her and why. There’s no time for sleep: The clock is ticking, my leads are thin, and the few confidants I’ve got aren’t playing straight with me. The monsters and thugs scurrying around the city won’t make clue gathering any easier.At the start, I was afraid that if I didn’t find her fast, she’d wind up dead. Now I know that if I don’t get her back in time, her death will just be the start.

    The kid sells lemonade. Not a lot of people buy lemonade, especially now that it’s winter, but the kid makes good lemonade, even if his friend Mullen thinks it ought to be sweeter.
       
    They don’t talk much with the other ten-year-olds — mostof the others are Dead Kids anyway. Except for Jenny Tierney, but she’s busy breaking kids’ faces with her math book. Besides, the Russians from the meat-packing plant are a lot cooler, and they always win at curling.
       
    But in small-town Alberta, there are just too many roman-candle fights, bonspiels, retaliatory river diversions, black-market submarines, exploding boilers, meat-packing-plant suicides and recess-time lightning strikes for one lonely kid to get any attention. He might as well go to Kazakhstan. Then the adults in his life start disappearing down tunnels and into rendering vats. Being ten is hard enough without all that, especially when your best friend is ruining the lemonade.
       
    But the Milk Chicken Bomb should change everything.
       
    Frenetic, hilarious and gently heartrending, The Milk Chicken Bomb takes us inside the mind of a troubled ten-year-old who is just beginning to understand that the adults around him are as lonely and bewildered as he is in the face of the slapstick demands of the world.
