Daisy was living her dream, literally. She had already established her garden centre, Daisy's Dream, and had a scholarship to study Horticulture at University. She had the support of her loving family, plus she had been in a steady relationship with Kyle Fielding for over 7 years. It wasn't 'if' they would marry, but 'when'.Why Kyle was working with the Australian Army Communications as part of his Honours Degree, he was seconded for a special operations mission overseas. After several months he was injured when the convoy in which he was travelling clipped a land mine. He received extensive damage to his legs and it was not known if he would ever walk again. Kyle felt he had let Daisy down, and he didn't want to be a burden so told her he'd changed his mind and no longer wanted to be saddled with a home-body and a small town when he could have an international career.Daisy's mother and grandmother didn't want a third generation of women to suffer at the hands of war as both their husbands had been killed in active duty. They believed it was best for her to let Kyle go, especially as Daisy had begun her Uni degree and a dashing young professor was very keen to support her.Is love stronger than war, and will Daisy and Kyle finally have "Perfect' as their wedding song?

Long before Elena Ferrante, there was Grazia Deledda, prolific writer whose characters typically face moral dilemmas, commit sin, and seek redemption. The Flight into Egypt, published less than a year before Deledda was awarded the Nobel prize for literature, delves into one man's attempt to atone for his decades-old sin by saving the most innocent of lives.Perhaps as proof that it's never too late to make a change and begin a new chapter in life, the story begins with Giuseppe De Nicola, who, after forty years' service as a primary school teacher, is planning to retire and leave his native Sardinia for the first time ever. He's been invited to come live in a small town on the Adriatic coast of the Italian peninsula with his long-estranged adopted son, his son's sickly wife, and their lively little daughter.The teacher's emotional state is described with allusions to the Biblical story of the flight into Egypt, which serves as an inspiration for the novel's title, and which also appears as the title of a small, hand-crafted needlework tapestry, one of the man's prized possessions.As Giuseppe settles into his new life, bonding with his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, details emerge about his own troubled past and his failed relationship with his son. When he stumbles upon sin in his new home, Giuseppe, a man of faith, comes to believe that God is presenting him an opportunity to atone for his past sins by saving an innocent soul now. Will his faith provide the requisite strength to do what must be done?A beautifully written novel featuring Deledda's straightforward, yet hauntingly elegant prose. A keen observer of both the human and natural worlds, she offers a timeless portrait of a time and place in equal parts achingly far away and deceptively close at hand. The Flight into Egypt is a story of redemption that lingers long after the book is finished.(Paperback edition coming soon.)

From the author - "My intent here was to document one of the most emotional years of my life, as raw and as honestly as I could.

This is me, after a long silence, finding both my voice and my heart, and struggling with them both."

"Lathan was falling, not fast or slow. It was almost like gliding. Comfortably gliding toward a bright light. Specks of white were racing by him, or he was racing past them. He couldn't quite tell. Some lights even seemed to be circling his body. Although they zipped by quickly, the journey took a long time. Some lights pulsed and seemed to pace him. He wasn't sure what to make of that. All he felt was peace, acceptance of where he was, and where he was going.The bright light didn't change in size, until it did. It seemed so distant for so long, never changing. Then it grew and grew. The light was getting larger rather quickly now. It was tinted gold, like yellow flames on the outside of an orb. Right when he passed through the light, those same golden flames licked at him and warmed his whole body. Before it was like traveling through a dark tunnel that was speckled with pinpricks of light, now everything was twilight and open."Finally free from his isolated past, Lathan Greywind is living a stable life with his wife and newborn daughter as a taiko drum coach at UC Davis. Events outside of his control force him to take action. Faltering against the mundane and the supernatural, he is thrust into a reality he doesn't understand. A reality filled with sentient life and power that has a will of its own. Lathan must learn to harness his newfound abilities before he can return home to his family. If he can only figure out how!

Each section is presented by the month so Biznanigans is easily incorporated into company training programs. Months include 'Don't Be a Cheap Skate', 'Say What' and even one month is 'Just for Fun'. You will laugh as you go through stories of life experiences with the author Thomas O'Malley. You will find the stories ludicrous but somehow familiar and informative. You will enjoy a range of reading from being robbed by criminal flamingos to Tom being convinced his spouse is an alien. Tom manages to weave in business lessons into most of the stories and keep them humorous and easy to read.

He has his own reasons for keeping tonight's installment on the air...an episode that has no script. Now the six actors must ad lib their way through an entire story-at gunpoint! Stage fright, misplaced sound effects, a soused lead actress, a character who keeps returning from the dead and other disasters befall the troupe, who must give the performance of their lives...or else!

Nick's Mom knew there was something very different about her son. Here is the raw, honest and informative account of her journey through the diagnosis of his severe classic autism - the rather underwhelming world of medical support, some heartbreaking episodes, her avid learning about medications each day and ultimately the power of love that underpins her parenting of young Nicholas. This piece was written by someone who is in a position to speak through her experiences and save other parents from stress, confusion and frustration as they must adapt to raising an autistic child. This true story is not for the fainthearted or those seeking neat, easy messages. This writer is wise far beyond her years, and her extremely difficult circumstances are related with wit, laconic humour, absolute transparency and true grit. Her insights are relevant to readers whose lives are touched by this rather mysterious condition, and who will benefit from witnessing her ballsy, steadfast stance - often parenting on her own. Autism, Are you F*&^ing Serious? Will make a deep impression on all readers, but if you have a child who is "on the spectrum" this book is a godsend.
