  When sixteen year old Cat’s mother is sent to prison in the fall of 1998, she is forced to leave the streets of Phoenix, Arizona to live with her grandmother whom she has never met, in a remote mountain valley in Northern California. After a devastating incident, Cat is taken in by nurse/midwife Emma Cassady and becomes an integral, yet controversial part of her circle of horsewomen friends: Lilly, Clare, Midnight and Briar. Emma’s decision to foster the troubled girl, disrupts her serene life, as do her feelings for the man who broke her heart decades ago. Lilly, blind-sided by change, and her fragile sister Clare, must deal with their aging mother, Dora, who is leading a secret life at the local nursing home. Midnight, culture keeper for her small tribe, is forced to face the truth about her only son; while Briar, a fearless horsewoman and trainer, becomes the circle’s greatest teacher. Over the course of a year, these authentic women and their ties to family, animals, their pristine wild environment and each other, inspire an unforgettable story that will be passed from friend to friend and mother to daughter. 
  “The beautiful and the terrible are magically united by True’s honest wisdom."

  In the shadow of South Africa’s turbulent history, one family’s story unfolds—bound by the land, haunted by the past, and driven by hope. 
  Set between 1930 and 1945, this sweeping tale follows Ruth MacLeod, a young woman determined to carve out a life beyond her family’s farm in Limpopo. Burdened by the legacy of the Anglo-Boer War—a conflict that left scars on both the land and the people—Ruth’s journey is one of resilience, independence, and quiet rebellion against the silence that has bound her family for generations. 
  Through the voices of Lena, a mother torn between duty and dreams; William, a father hardened by his own father’s emotional distance; and the indomitable Magda, a grandmother forged in the fires of survival, the MacLeod family must navigate love, loss, and the shifting sands of a world on the brink of change. 
  At its heart, this is a story of endurance, of finding beauty in the small moments, and of daring to seek more. As Ruth follows her own path, she carries with her the strength and sacrifices of those who came before her—and the hope of a future that feels just within reach. 
  Rich with historical detail and emotional depth, The MacLeod Legacy (or your book's title) is a poignant exploration of family, memory, and the ties that bind us to each other—and to the land we call home.

  A haunting attack. A killer in the shadows. A protective love.

Waking with bruises on her neck and a foggy memory, she believes she survived an attack, but everyone seems to think she simply sustained a head injury from falling down the stairs outside her studio. Plagued by an undiagnosed health condition, she is torn between the haunting reality of what she may have seen and the possibility that her mind is playing tricks on her. 
   
  Without proof the other victim ever existed, Detective Eric Thornton can hardly declare the area a murder scene. Still, he adds Allye's report to his already full caseload. But when new evidence surfaces to support her claims, Eric must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer and uncover the truth before the suspect closes in on Allye again.

  The Lost World

  So accustomed are we to numerous cinematic films depicting Dinosaurs (resurrected from their extinction through various dramatic devices) running amok amongst the human race, from King Kong to Jurassic Park, that we forget that it was the creator of Sherlock Holmes who was amongst the first to imagine such a scenario. 
   After so many years of the cerebral Holmes, Conan Doyle must have revelled in his colourful new character of Professor Challenger. He is a bear of a man with an appetite for self-advancement, adventure and controversy who leads an expedition into the forests of South America to vindicate his claim that a lost world lay hidden in that vast continent. 
  This is Conan Doyle away from the constraints of Baker Street and one gets the feeling that the author makes the most of the possibilities, pitting his heroes against dinosaurs, treacherous guides, inhospitable terrain and not least a race of vicious ape men. 
  Conan tells his rip-roaring adventure with all his usual descriptive skill and verve. 
  Head Stories presents Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
