Jaxon-

I'm months away from the NFL draft, from everything I've ever wanted. Except none of it matters without her.

Madison Blake has always been it for me-my best friend, my biggest what-if, the girl I've never stopped loving.

One drunken voicemail. That's all it took for me to drop everything and transfer to PCU.

She doesn't remember calling. But now that she knows the real reason I'm here? She's running faster than ever.

Madison-

Jaxon Montgomery was never supposed to be mine.

I spent years convincing myself he was better off without me. But now I know the truth-he's here because of me.

Because I asked for him. Because he's never been the one to walk away.

I thought choosing him would only end in heartbreak.

But maybe the real mistake was believing he wouldn't choose me back.

A spiritual expedition into the stories and wisdom of ancient, desert-dwelling Christians, who show us how to forge faith at the edges of empire.

For all that bewilders and bedevils us, the desert mothers and fathers can help us face our circumstances and ourselves. In The Way of the Desert Elders, Lisa Colón DeLay asks: What if desert elders from more than a millennium ago could walk beside us and nourish our spirits now?

Starting in the fourth century, half a million Christians fled the villages and cities of the Roman Empire. Leaving behind comforts, they battled what Evagrius called "afflicting thoughts," which still unsettle us today. Yet they discovered a spirituality durable enough to endure harsh conditions and self-denial, sturdy enough to flourish in abandoned places.

In wise and vivid prose, DeLay introduces us to a cast of characters who were both devoted and flawed. Like us, the desert abbas and ammas wrestled with gluttony, lust, greed, wrath, acedia, despondency, vainglory, envy, and pride. We meet the abba who'd been a crime boss, the amma who once traded sexual favors for a chance to travel, and the archbishop who fled his post because of a scandalous love affair. We learn about the stylite hermits, who lived atop pillars and drew tourists, and about the weaver who prayed so intensely while he worked that he wove a basket larger than himself. DeLay brings the timeless sagacity of these spiritual companions to bear on our own barren times, offering reflection questions, prayers, and suggestions for crafting a rule of life.

Desert spirituality doesn't mean going it alone; it means finding companions to walk with us. With their ordinary longings and extraordinary commitments, the desert elders can lead us toward peace, spiritual growth, and intimacy with God.

«Ada está huérfana de hijo, ese terror que parece que solo puede tener casa en la palabra locura.»

Cuando Marcos era pequeño le dejaba cartas a su madre antes de ir a la escuela. Ahora se aparece en sus sueños, porque le quiere contar a qué lugar lo llevaron... cuando lo desaparecieron. Ada está en una carrera contra el tiempo, porque teme morir antes de encontrarlo, pero de una cosa está segura: tiene que buscarlo en un árbol.

En el corazón de la ciudad, cortaron la palmera y en su lugar sembraron un ahuehuete que ha muerto por razones extrañas. Y la escritora quiere escribir sobre eso, denunciarlo. Así es como se cruza en el camino de Ada y de otras madres buscadoras que también sueñan dónde están sus hijos. Y aunque la fiscalía quiere enterrar los expedientes de los sueños, esas coordenadas indican a dónde fueron los desaparecidos con una precisión inexplicable. Los árboles lo ven todo. Testigos de la muerte que se acumula en sus raíces a manera de fosas clandestinas, y que se manifiesta en sus troncos y hojas, se convertirán en traductores de la búsqueda, en interlocutores entre la memoria, la ausencia y la esperanza. ¿Y si lo que ha sido silenciado estuviera hablando a través de los árboles?

Alma Delia Murillo narra la tragedia colectiva de nuestros desaparecidos y lo hace con indignación y dolor, pero también con amor, lucidez y un humor vital que empuja a seguir leyendo

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Ada has lost her son, a horror that can be best described with the word madness."

When Marcos was little, he used to leave notes for his mother before he left for school. Now he appears in her dreams, trying to tell her where he was taken ... when he disappeared. Ada is in a race against time, afraid that she will die before she finds him. She is sure of just one thing: the answer lies in a tree.

In the heart of the city, a palm tree was cut down and a cypress planted in its place, but for some reason it died. Seeing a possible story, the author investigates. This how she meets Ada and other mothers who see their lost children in their dreams. The state prosecutor wants to bury their testimony, but the coordinates revealed to them by their subconscious are eerily precise. The trees see all. With roots stretching down to unmarked graves, bearing witness to the dead in their trunks and leaves, they become the interpreters of the women's search, interlocutors between memory, absence and hope. What if those who were silenced are speaking through the trees?

Alma Delia Murillo narrates the collective tragedy of the disappeared in an account marked by indignation and pain, but also love, lucidity, and a vital humor that elevates its pages.

From #1 bestselling author Genevieve Graham, "the reigning queen of Canadian historical fiction" (Kristen Harmel, #1 New York Times bestselling author) comes a dazzling novel set at an elegant hotel in Toronto in 1929 about a young chambermaid, a handsome waiter, and a murder that will reverberate for a century.

Welcome to the Dominion, where secrets lurk behind every locked door.

1929: Rosie Ryan wants nothing more than to escape the poverty of The Ward, Toronto's roughest neighbourhood, and become a chambermaid at the brand-new Dominion Hotel. Until she meets Damien, that is--a charming and ambitious waiter who promises her a better life--and adds him to the top of her list. The Dominion offers her a chance to do well, but behind the gleaming chandeliers and polished marble lurk dangerous secrets involving its most notorious guest, a wealthy gangster who's about to profit from The Crash that will decimate the economy. When a friend is murdered, Rosie finds herself tangled in a web of betrayal--one that just might cost her everything.

Present Day: City building Inspector Bridget Kelly is assigned to scrutinize the recent renovations at the elegant old Dominion Hotel, a task she relishes as a lover of history and architecture, and that gets even better once she starts working with a brilliant and fascinating archivist. But when a routine inspection uncovers mysterious boxes, locked doors, and secret corridors, bringing to light a long-buried clue to a decades-old murder, her inspection is thwarted, and threats rise round her on every side. Bridget soon realizes someone doesn't want the truth to surface--and they'll do anything to keep it buried.

Spanning nearly a century, The Chambermaid's Key is a gripping dual-timeline novel about ambition, betrayal, and the secrets that bind us across generations.

One of the great overlooked voices of modern Irish literature, once hailed as "magnificent" by The New York Times, Mary Lavin's fiction is now being revived for a new generation of readers in this definitive volume, selected and introduced by Colm Tóibín.

During her lifetime, Irish American writer Mary Lavin was a prominent literary figure. Throughout the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, her stories were frequently featured in The New Yorker, compared to the works of Chekhov, James, and Wharton, and celebrated in major publications, ranging from The New York Times to The Irish Times. Lavin won prestigious awards, such as the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Katherine Mansfield Prize, and her influence extends to many of today's great fiction writers. Yet, despite her incredible success, Lavin's once acclaimed body of work has largely fallen out of print, lost and erased from the canon.

Now, An Arrow in Flight brings together sixteen of Lavin's most powerful stories, selected and introduced by Colm Tóibín. In witty and sharp prose, these tales explore familial tensions, relationships between men and women, and the social mores and biases of 20th-century Irish society, from the streets of Dublin to the fields of County Meath. Essential for any fan of contemporary Irish literature, An Arrow in Flight shines a much-needed light on "a master of the genre" (Los Angeles Times) who has, for too long, remained in the shadows.
