It is summertime in the late 1950's and you can practically feel the hot sand on your feet, hear the screen door slamming and taste the penny candy at the local ice cream parlor. But beyond this idyllic facade, life is changing for Sherry Waxman. Her friends' parents are divorcing right and left, her mother criticizes everything she does, and her grandfather is having a romantic liaison with a woman thirty years his junior. Sherry falls in and out of love as she struggles to understand everything from the meaning of life to her own awakening sexuality. With her parents preoccupied with their professions and their tennis tournaments, Sherry and her friends must fend for themselves. When Sherry's Aunt Geraldine arrives, the glamorous yet down-to-earth woman presents Sherry with a unique and special gift, showing her how to draw strength from the unseen world. Geraldine teaches Sherry and her friends how to empower themselves by connecting with their spirituality. As Sherry matures, she learns of her own intuitive gifts and how to use them to overcome obstacles and gain self-confidence.

Victoria Malvey, the exquisitely talented author of "A Merry Chase, Temptress, Enchanted, " and "Portrait of Dreams, " takes her readers once again to Victorian England, where a defiant lord and a daring lady struggle to forge a new destiny...together. Lady Alyssa Porter refuses to leave the future to chance. Determined to provide for her younger sister after the death of their parents, she conceives a most ingenious -- if somewhat shocking -- plan. Soon the exotic beauty is masquerading as Zora, gypsy fortune-teller extraordinaire. Before long, using intuition, wit, and a flair for high drama, she is the latest darling of the town, invited to the finest of homes and introduced to the most interesting of men. Intrigued by tales of the mysterious gypsy, Mr. Ian Fortune is amused by her audacity as she spins beguiling tales for enthralled lords and ladies. Certain that Zora is neither gypsy nor seer, he is nonetheless enchanted by her bold ruse, though he wonders if others will take the deception so lightly. Drawn to her vibrant beauty, he vows to win her confidence and learn her secrets. For even the most fiercely independent female sometimes yields to the pleasures of a man's protection. And though this lady may not hold the future in her hands, she does hold the key to his heart.

And what a stew it is. Here are some of the ingredients: Our heroine, Nuala Anne McGrail, in her guise as international singing star, accompanied by her spear-carrying husband, Dermot Coyne, is off to a major music festival in Milan, where they meet Seamus Costelloe, a Chicago Irish macher, and his family. Seamus is no better than he should be, and in fact the suspicion is that he's very bad indeed, but softhearted Nuala sees the sign of death on him-she hasn't lost her ability to see into the future-and decides to do something about it. She also sees something good in him. Which leads to a few hair-raising conflicts with some of Chicago's more desperate characters. Nuala and Dermot's new baby is premature, and dark clouds hover over their sublimely happy marriage. Meanwhile, Dermot is trying to solve the mystery of Chicago's Haymarket riot, which isn't easy since it happened over a hundred years ago. Only bestselling author Andrew M. Greeley, with his knowledge of Ireland and Chicago's unsavory politics, plus his uncanny ability to combine two stories-one in the present and one in the past-and his talent for building mystery and suspense to an almost unbearable degree, could have written this truly tantalizing novel.

'One of the best Dublin memoirs I've ever read' Donal Fallon Peig McManus was born into the last of Dublin's tenements before moving to one of Ireland's first social housing estates in Cabra. Her father believed that children should earn their keep and learn to face reality as soon as possible. While that reality was poverty, class prejudice and strict Catholicism, at the heart of Peig's earliest memories are music, hoolies and the bonds of family and community. I Will Be Good is the story of a girl who rebelled against societal expectations and dreamed of further education. It tells of a young woman whose hopes of marriage to a Scottish sailor ended in the heartbreak of a daughter given up for adoption; of a mother who needed something more than her 'place at home'; and of a pioneering citizen who became one of Ireland's foremost campaigners for educational reform. Now, in her eighties, Peig shares her story of grit and courage: an inspiring journey through the trials and triumphs of a remarkable Irish woman who refused to do what she was told.
