Une librairie a toujours le pouvoir de guérir les coeurs.

Loveday travaille dans une librairie d'occasion et préfère la compagnie des livres à celle de ses semblables. Elle reçoit un jour trois mystérieuses livraisons de livres qui la plongent dans les souvenirs de son enfance difficile. Quelqu'un connaît le secret de sa vie. Est-ce Archie, son patron marginal et paternel ? Rob, l'amoureux éconduit qui ne cesse de la harceler ? Nathan, le poète-magicien qu'elle vient de rencontrer, celui qui pourrait l'aider à trouver les mots pour raconter son histoire ? Le moment semble venu pour elle d'affronter son passé et d'enfin tourner la page.

Ailsa Rae is learning how to live.

She's only a few months past the heart transplant that - just in time - saved her life. Life should be a joyful adventure. But . . .

Her relationship with her mother is at breaking point.

She knows she needs to find her father.

She's missed so much that her friends have left her behind.

She's felt so helpless for so long that she's let polls on her blog make her decisions for her. And now she barely knows where to start on her own.

And then there's Lennox. Her best friend and one time lover. He was sick too. He didn't make it. And now she's supposed to face all of this without him.

But her new heart is a bold heart.

She just needs to learn to listen to it . . .

A tragic accident, a broken heart, and a marriage drowning in secrets...

Mike always walks the dog in the evening while Elizabeth relaxes in the bathtub--but one night he doesn’t come back. Mike has drowned while saving a teenage girl named Kate, his dog standing on the bank barking frantically as the police pull his body from the water.

But despite her husband being lauded as a hero, Elizabeth can’t wrap her mind around the fact that Mike is gone--and Kate won’t reveal the details of what really happened that night.

Elizabeth finds herself facing the unfathomable possibility that she may not have known her husband at all. Does she really want to know the truth? Or will the weight of Mike’s secrets pull her under?

“It smelled bittersweetly of sourdough, and there was the trace of hot, fresh bread in the air. She took a deep breath and unlocked the door”

Fifteen years ago Bettina May’s life’s veered off course in one disastrous night. Still reeling from the shock of losing everything she thought was hers, Bettina opens a bakery in a village and throws herself into the comfort of bread-making.

She spends her days kneading dough and measuring ingredients. She meets someone. She begins to heal.

Until someone who knows what happens that night walks into Bettina's bakery. In the pause of a heartbeat, fifteen years disappear and Bettina remembers a time she thought was lost for ever . . .

Can she ever go back?

How I Said Bah! to Cancer Tells how one woman said 'Bah!' to cancer through thinking strategies, a proactive approach to treatment, and a determination to keep the rest of her life going. This book shares what she learnt along the way, from the nature of cancer cells and chemotherapy drugs, to how she was able to help her friends and family to help her.

Elizabeth’s world is turned upside down when her husband dies in a tragic drowning accident. How typical of her kind, generous husband – a respected police officer - to sacrifice his own life saving a complete stranger’s.

There’s still a part of us that thinks surviving cancer is a bit of freakish good fortune – the medical equivalent of having a cannonball go right through your middle and living to tell the tale – and so often it’s hard to know how to ‘do’ life after cancer.

Thrive: The Bah! Guide to Wellness After Cancer focuses on moving on from a major physical, social and psychological trauma. Like Stephanie’s first book, How I Said Bah! to cancer: A Guide to Thinking, Laughing, Living, and Dancing Your Way Through, Thrive uses a blend of storytelling, practical advice, humour, thinking techniques and strategies, visualisations, meditations, questions, candour and common sense designed to help those who have had a cancer to get from survival to a place where they are truly thriving.
