Sinossi

THE CHRISTY AND CAROL AWARD-WINNING NOVEL 
 
A throwaway assignment is about to change two lives forever 
 
Aidyn Kelley is talented, ambitious, and ready for a more serious assignment than the fluff pieces she's been getting as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. In her eagerness, she pushes too hard, earning herself the menial task of writing an obituary for an unremarkable woman who's just entered hospice care. 
 
But there's more to Clara Kip than meets the eye. The spirited septuagenarian may be dying, but she's not quite ready to cash it in yet. Never one to shy away from an assignment herself, she can see that God brought the young reporter into her life for a reason. And if it's a story Aidyn Kelley wants, that's just what Mrs. Kip will give her--but she's going to have to work for it. 
 
"Clara's vivaciousness in the face of death makes her a captivating protagonist, and readers will appreciate her poignant reflections on faith and renewal."--Publishers Weekly 
 
"With a truly compassionate protagonist, Brunsvold reverently creates a space for readers to reflect on living with vivacity and dying with dignity."--Booklist

In her debut novel, Sara Brunsvold explores age, faith and compassion. Rookie journalist Aidyn Kelley has incurred the wrath of her editors and is chastened with a low-key assignment. Or so it seems… When interviewing 79-year-old Clara Kip, Aidyn realizes that the dying woman has an extraordinary story to tell.

Brunsvold does a wonderful job contrasting the competitive world of Aidyn's newsroom with the compassionate views of Clara Kip. As Aidyn gets to know Clara, she understands how much more fulfilling life becomes if, instead of only focusing on your own advantage, you take a moment to consider the needs of those around you. A truly inspirational read that will warm your heart, whether you are religious or not.

The Trap

Henry S. Whitehead, H. P. Lovecraft

An ancient mirror. A missing boy. A reality twisted by dark forces beyond comprehension. 
In this eerie and cerebral tale of supernatural horror, Henry S. Whitehead and H. P. Lovecraft blend gothic dread with cosmic terror. The Trap follows the mysterious disappearance of Robert Grandison, a student at a quiet schoolhouse, shortly after the arrival of an antique mirror retrieved from a decaying estate. His tutor, Canevin, soon uncovers that the mirror is more than an object—it’s a portal to a strange, warped dimension where time fractures, forms mutate, and lost souls linger. 
As Canevin pieces together the truth, he encounters the lingering presence of Axel Holm, the mirror’s original owner, whose hunger for immortality has cursed the glass with malevolent power. With Robert’s life—and sanity—hanging in the balance, Canevin must confront the eldritch forces that lie just beyond the surface of the mirror… before it’s too late. 
This chilling short story offers Lovecraftian horror with a psychological edge, where science meets sorcery and no reflection can be trusted.
