  New title and cover, same great story! (Formerly titled Honor in the Mountain Refuge)This epic journey is his only chance to redeem his mistakes.Chogan should’ve seen it coming when his tribe cast him out. He may look like a Blackfoot brave, but he refuses to act like one ever again—especially when it means kidnapping or killing innocent people. His protective actions toward Nez Perce captives proved that. Yet the pain of having nowhere to belong strikes deeper than he imagined. Worse, there’s one particular Nez Perce woman’s face he can’t get out of his mind…or heart. How can he make amends for the sins of his past?If Telípe thought all would be well after her rescue from kidnappers, she couldn’t have been more wrong. With her husband now dead and the birth of their first baby imminent, she’s forced to seek shelter in the chaotic, overcrowded lodge of her youth. The solitude she finds only in the wilderness outside the village becomes a haven…until she comes face to face with the Blackfoot brave who once helped kidnap her. Yet even in her terror, she senses a spark of something unexpected—hope.But Chogan isn’t the only threat to her village. With a massive wildcat stalking her people, Telipe must decide whether to trust Chogan’s help. He proved his compassion and bravery when he’d kept her safe during her kidnapping, and her regard grows as she sees his determination to help her tribe—the very people who want him dead. As the wildcat closes in, one thing is clear: someone is going to be hurt—or killed—and it may cost Telipe and Chogan everything.From a USA Today bestselling author comes another epic journey through breathless landscapes and adventure so intense, lives will never be the same.

  Edited with a new introduction by Aimee McLaughlin
  "The Yellow Wallpaper" by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in January 1892, is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature for its illustration of the attitudes towards mental and physical health of women in the 19th century.
  What happens when a woman is pushed too far? Is she able to express her thoughts and feelings, or is she forced towards the expectation of behaving 'normally' again soon?
  A woman travels with her husband to an old colonial mansion after a nervous breakdown triggered by the birth of their child. Confined to the nursery and allowed only to breathe fresh air, eat well and rest in line with a regimented 'cure', she slowly begins to unravel at the seams. Her only distraction is writing in secret – that, and the woman she begins to see trapped inside the yellow wallpaper of the room itself.
  Isolated and breaking apart, she sets herself a task: to free the woman, and to become one with her temporary confinement.
  Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper' presents a harrowing, disturbing account of mental stress, confinement and female turmoil - within which the only available solace can be found inside four peeling, sickly yellow walls ...
  Our new edition also features the sequence of poems "Woman" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
  "The gothic genre offers Gilman an effective mode of diagnosing contemporary culture whilst in tandem expressing her ensuing fears and anxieties. Gilman within this novella, gothicises the domestic setting, inverting the pillars of domesticity: family, security and understanding, in turn unveiling the dangers lurking behind the familiarity of gender roles within marital relations. The intimate first-person narration of the narrative serves to enhance Gilman's exposure of the oppressive forces of a male-dominated society, as she deplores her protagonist's inferior position in her domestic arrangement. The female narrator is encumbered by masculine superiority, undoubtedly dwelling in the middle of patriarchy. Embedded within her characterisation is the subjugated role bestowed upon Victorian women. Gilman projects derangement onto a familiar literary figure ― the middle−class wife and mother ― placing the source of this madness in the inviolate sphere for dutiful women ― the home."

  Stories From The Shadows –...

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
