Sinopse

In 'Joan of the Sword Hand', S. R. Crockett crafts a riveting historical novel set in the tumultuous landscape of medieval Scotland. The narrative intricately weaves together the personal and political struggles faced by its titular character, Joan, a fierce warrior grappling with her identity amidst the ceaseless conflict of the Wars of Scottish Independence. Crockett's literary style is vivid and immersive, employing rich descriptions that evoke the era's atmosphere, while his deep understanding of history allows for a nuanced portrayal of the social upheaval and the complexities of loyalty and honor in a time of chaos. S. R. Crockett, a Scottish author deeply rooted in his homeland's folklore and history, draws from his extensive research and personal experiences to breathe life into his characters. His fascination with the historical narratives of Scotland, especially those involving valiant women, is palpable in 'Joan of the Sword Hand'.

This compelling tale is an essential read for anyone captivated by historical fiction that combines action, drama, and rich character development. The story not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on the courageous personalities behind the historical events.

    A story with a compassionate eye, the heartwarming vibes of A Man Called Ove mixed with the high emotional stakes of Anne Tyler, Cattail Lane is an uplifting family drama about overcoming the past and the extraordinary power of second chances
    		 
    Nick Ackerman’s life is an aimless circuit between his uninspiring job and the local bar until a note from a stranger changes everything. He learns he has a 14-year-old son, Billy, whose grandmother can no longer look after him. Railroaded into fatherhood, Nick takes in the resentful Billy and shuffles Grandma Evie off to the nearby dementia ward at Prairie View Manor. Things get off to a rocky start: father and son are little more than strangers, and Nick struggles with his new caretaking role while Billy can’t seem to let go of his. Luckily, there is Sarah, a housekeeper in the dementia ward and the single mother of an energetic and offbeat five-year-old. It is Sarah who Nick turns to as a parental role model and maybe something more.
    		 
    Nick, Sarah, and Billy all carry their own betrayals and disappointments and are used to keeping others at a distance, but during the dog days of summer, they are given a chance to leave past hurts behind and find a new kind of family.
    		 
    Compassionate and closely observed, Cattail Lane is a moving exploration of forgiveness, second chances, and the everyday moments where we might find our way to one another.

    INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
    In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
    Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. 
     
    Elizabeth Ogilvie sailed on the maiden voyage of the S.S Viking with rather mixed feelings. It was not that her job, as assistant purser, was likely to set her any problems; nor was she worried at having to keep secret the fact that she was virtually related to the Chairman of the shipping line, who was also on board — travelling incognito, for reasons of his own. What had been so upsetting for Elizabeth was to discover, at the last moment, that the Captain of the ship was to be Hugh Anson, with whom she had once been in love. But although Elizabeth did not know it, there were others on board with even bigger reasons for treating the Captain with hostility. Altogether it looked like being anything but a peaceful voyage!
