Image
  A mysterious stranger with a blank name tag and a guitar appears in the lives of people at the edge of collapse. He offers no easy miracles, only truth, mercy, and one next step. Who is Shiloh Malachi? is a moving cycle of modern parables about guilt, grief, faith, justice, and the unsettling presence of grace. THE NURSE Morning came in through the lace curtains in thin strips and laid itself across the kitchen table, the syrup bottle, and the two plates. Maria Santos moved the way she always moved before a double shift: navy scrubs, hair in a ponytail that would hold for sixteen hours, and lunch already zipped in its bag. The bungalow was yellow because she had painted it herself on a Tuesday when she should have slept. The roses by the walk were hers too. Japanese beetles had been at the leaves again, and she had picked them off at dawn with her fingers, one by one, before Lucas woke. "Shoes," she called. "The bus will be here in five minutes."

It’s proof that, even in the harshest conditions, a meaningful and fulfilled life can still be built.” New York, NY, --- Deeply personal and unflinching, All Is Well is the memoir of Matin Miryeganeh (Mah-TEEN Meer-yeh-GAH-neh), a senior research scientist who has survived immense trauma—not only in the world outside, but also within the walls of her own home.

Book Review ‘Baltimore Blues’ by Laura Lippman

Image
Tess Monoghan is ritualistic, quirky, and unrefined, not quite as brash as Janet Evonovich’s, Stephanie Plum, but, a strong no fuss female who finds comfort in searching out the negative in everything and everyone. In Tess’s world, all this, combines with her clever, observant qualities, and equals an entertaining character.
