Sinopse

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

    Georgette Adams is trouble incarnate. Spoiled, sassy, smart . . . and the President's only daughter. 
     
     
     
    Getting summoned to a meeting at the White House felt like an honor—until I caught the catch. I'm the newest member of her security detail. Not only for this summer in DC, but once she leaves for Stanford in the fall as well. Her safety is my responsibility. 
     
     
     
    Trouble is, the only place Georgie respects any rules is on the tennis court. 
     
     
     
    Our priorities clash and our personalities conflict, yet somehow—the more time we spend together, the less it feels like work. 
     
     
     
    But my job description doesn't include making her laugh or enjoying our conversations. And it definitely doesn't involve broken rules or blurred lines. 
     
     
     
    My only job? 
     
     
     
    Is to serve.

    When the walls are glass, there's nowhere to hide. 
    No sooner has Detective Erin O’Reilly moved in with her lover, gangster-turned-informant Morton Carlyle, than she gets a call about a body in a fancy downtown hotel. She’s expecting a run-of-the-mill homicide, until she finds herself face to face with a beautiful young woman floating in the hotel’s aquarium. 
    Below the smooth surface of the luxury hotel, she finds a rotten world of bribes, voyeurism, coercion, and murder. Everybody has something to hide. Erin and her faithful K-9 Rolf will have to plunge into the murky depths to hook their quarry. Meanwhile, her personal life is on a fine line between survival and disaster. With all eyes on her, she will have to balance her family, her job, and her increasingly dangerous double life infiltrating the O’Malley mob. 
    It’s a deep dive into another New York murder. It’ll take all Erin’s grit to pull the truth out into the light.

    The countdown to invasion begins... 
     
    It's September 1940, and British intelligence is desperately worried: the Nazi invasion of Britain is imminent. 
     
    A sinister organisation called The Group, a collection of British and Irish Nazi collaborators, is at work trying to support Hitler's plans... 
     
    But that is not the only concern for the spy chiefs: the search for double agent 'Archie' – the Soviet spy and British traitor – is proving fruitless, and now they know there’s a second traitor, Bertie, also in play. 
     
    Will they be able to foil the invasion plans without their schemes being leaked to the enemy? 
     
    Taking the reader from wartime London to the south coast of England, from Berlin to neutral Ireland and from the German intelligence headquarters in Hamburg to the port of Rotterdam, The Second Traitor is the second novel in Alex Gerlis’s highly acclaimed Double Agent series, a follow-up to Every Spy a Traitor.

    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.
