Book Description
Rose Parker passed quietly one night, never having required custodial or hospice care. The support Ray received from his father and his adopted son, Manny Morris, was admirable. Erin and Miller weathered the gossip and had three normal children and a wonderful life together. Gaye and Jay were married and gloried in their second lives, based on (of all things) love. Nora and Jaque did not marry but continued to love each other. Vanessa hadnt asked if Jaque were her biological father. When and if she did . . . Gino Capetti declined to press charges against his captors. Before his trial was to begin, he feigned the symptoms of acute appendicitis. Though in a lock ward at the hospital, his visiting doctor looked enough like Gino that Gino rendered him unconscious, changed into the doctors clothes, and was released unknowingly. Ten minutes later, when the doctor stumbled out of the room, Gino had disappeared. Ginos guard was given a new assignment, walking a beat in an obscure part of town. Ginos plan was to get to Mexico, have his face changed, and return to Jacksonville to repay the Ortegas for their hospitality. Before leaving town, he managed to get an old bicycle, which he left at the gate entry to the Ortega complex. Nora correctly interpreted the implication.

Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book Description
Palermo, Sicily, 1978. The Christian Democrat leader Aldo Moro has just been kidnapped in Rome by members of the notorious Red Brigades. Two months after his disappearance on 9th May, Moro is found dead in the boot of a car. A trio of eleven-year-old schoolboys, Nimbo, Raggio, and Volo, avidly follow the news of the abduction as their admiration for the brigatisti grows. When the boys themselves resolve to abduct a classmate and incarcerate him in a makeshift 'people's prison', the darkness within their world, and the world of the novel, becomes all-pervasive. A vivid and hellish description of Sicily in the late seventies, Time on my Hands is an unforgettable novel from a significant new voice in Italian fiction.
