Who is Johnny Amund? He would describe himself as a frustrated man, a log-truck driver and mediocre employee. Mary Amund…
would explain it differently; the serious and purposeful young man she married has been dealt blows that are twisting him into a bitter recluse who doesn&’t seem to care anymore.An altercation at work gets Johnny&’s attention and embarrassed, he evaluates his lifestyle and choices. Johnny realizes his life and marriage are worth saving and begins trying. Mary is ecstatic to see changes in her husband and is encouraged by her father to stick with the big trucker. When logging operations are shut-down during fire season, they take a trip and Johnny realizes what he has been taking for granted--a caring wife who has supported him through his pain and anger. Staggered by the sadness and loss his actions have caused, and how close he is to losing her, Johnny sets his mind to make things right.The changes in Johnny are noticed and appreciated by his boss and coworkers and friendships grow. When a violent abduction of a newly hired trucker occurs, Johnny is surprised at how swiftly he moves from spectator to active participant, and the measure of trust he has recently earned propels him into new responsibility. Reflection on training he received as a child helps Johnny become the solid and caring person he used to be.Unanswered questions abound regarding the abduction and through the busy winter, fear and uncertainty in the company give Johnny and Mary opportunity to share their growing strength with coworkers and in doing so, build rich friendships. At the same time, circumstances from Johnny&’s past loom large. Mary helps him as he does his best to remember the positive and not obsess about the unknown. But when an unexpected and tragic message from the past arrives, Mary worries their newfound happiness will not survive.Set in the beautiful Central Interior of British Columbia, this story revolves around an old Norse proverb and a young man with no blood family who reclaims his life and in doing so becomes the true brother he was expected to be.

"It has waited seven years for someone to come back to the rambling lakeside house called Pinecrest, which has stood…
empty since its last owner went missing. For upscale Chicago couple Dan and Merrill Brewster, the old midwestern manse is an ideal retreat, and for their kids, Eric and Marci, it's the perfect place to spend a lazy summer exploring. Which is how Eric and his teenage friends discover the curious cache of discarded objects stowed in a hidden room of Pinecrest's carriage house. The bladeless hacksaws, shadeless lamps, tables with missing legs, headless axe handle, and other unremarkable items add up to a pile of junk. Yet someone took the trouble to inventory each worthless relic in a cryptic ledger. It has all the makings of a great mystery--whispering, coaxing, demanding to be solved." -- Worldcat

"Irene Ochoa has long felt trapped in a dead end alley, an alley whose walls seem to cave in on…
her as the abuse by her husband Marcos becomes habitual. Her only weapon is her survival instinct and it is very clear to her that it is either Marcós life or her own. The perfect opportunity presents itself on a Wednesday when Marcos comes home more drunk than usual and falls asleep. A couple of hours later, firefighters and policemen investigate the cause of a fire that took its only victim: Marcos. Everything has gone as planned, but there is one thing that Irene has no control over. That same night she got rid of her abuser and she is able to taste her freedom at last, she meets a man that could take it right from under her again. This man is Inspector Vázquez, the policeman in charge of her murdered husband's case. Their relationship signifies passion, longing and danger. Whilst Pamplona still is in a state of shock over the accident, Inspector Vázquez is in the midst of quite possibly his most lurid case of his entire career: several voyagers that had been on the Camino de Santiago were found dead in Roncesvalles, just a few kilometers away, which leads the investigators to believe that this was the work of a serial killer." -- Provided by publisher

"Blood roars in Josie's ears as they circle the tree in the deep snow. A woman lies still on the…
freezing ground. The howling wind lifts the last of the snow clinging to her face, exposing her lovely features, frozen in forever sleep. Detective Josie Quinn is still recovering from the killing of a beloved member of her team when she and her husband Noah receive yet more devastating news. Close to her breaking point, Josie heads to a specialist trauma retreat, set in an isolated group of log cabins in the mountains of Pennsylvania. But fear is not far behind her. Josie's five fellow patients all seem to be hiding secrets darker than just the problems that brought them there and a storm is gathering, with thick snow coming down fast, isolating the cabins from the world below. Then one morning, Meg Cleary disappears. Having spent years living in terror of a stalker, Meg had come to the retreat to try to piece her life back together. But now, her cabin is empty, no logs are burning in her fireplace, no tracks in the snow lead to or from her door. Quickly organizing a search, Josie's worst fear is realized when she finds Meg's body lying in the snow, the marks around her neck revealing that her death was no accident. And this is no normal case, as Josie is stranded without her team, a phone signal or any legal authority to investigate. When she discovers that someone has placed hidden cameras inside the retreat buildings, Josie's terror grows with the knowledge that the murderer is among them. Then another patient goes missing. With their food supplies running low and no chance of escape, Josie knows that she is in the greatest danger of her life, and that she alone has a chance to identify the killer and save the rest of the group before it's too late...."-- From publisher

has been tracking her for years. The well-structured novel uses an omniscient narrator to address such important themes as identity, forgiveness, redemption, evolution and truth. It is 1986. Everyone in Nidocuervo knows that the boy and Marta Ferrer, la Colorada, are different. Everyone also knows that Tomás Laguna, a retired insurance broker, rented the guardians' house to live there with Roco, a black dog. In reality, nobody knows anything: neither of them is what they say they are, and not even they are aware of the ties that bind them, although the time will come when they will have to settle their accounts with the horror of political violence." -- Provided by publisher

"Lorrie Moore's first novel since A Gate at the Stairs--a daring, meditative exploration of love and death, passion and grief,…
and what it means to be haunted by the past, both by history and the human heart. A teacher visiting his dying brother in the Bronx. A mysterious journal from the nineteenth century stolen from a boarding house. A therapy clown and an assassin, both presumed dead, but perhaps not dead at all... With her distinctive, irresistible wordplay and singular wry humor and wisdom, Lorrie Moore has given us a magic box of longing and surprise as she writes about love and rebirth and the pull towards life. Bold, meditative, theatrical, this new novel is an inventive, poetic portrait of lovers and siblings as it questions the stories we have been told which may or may not be true. I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home takes us through a trap door, into a windswept, imagined journey to the tragic-comic landscape that is, unmistakably, the world of Lorrie Moore." -- Provided by publisher
