Full of funny quips, jokes and an intense degree of faith and trust. You will be aware of more compassion in life for having read I See You with My Heart.

Margo, the youngest, faces career questions and pulling up big girl panties. And witty Ceci, the most vibrant outgoing sister, suffers through disease.

“Noelle Salazar has an unerring instinct for writing tough women with big hearts . . . The Lies We Leave Behind is a globe-spanning wartime journey filled with pathos and heart!” ?—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code For fans of Kate Quinn and Beatriz Williams, this sweeping story follows a fearless nurse who must leave love behind when duty calls her back to the front. Somewhere in the Pacific, 1943. Kate Campbell is a nurse who bravely flies back and forth from the front to rescue wounded soldiers, amid long days, harsh conditions and often dangerous weather.

Love has never been part of her plan, but despite herself, she falls for an officer with three bullet wounds, startling blue eyes and a wicked sense of humor. For the first time, Kate sees a future far from the horrors of war and hate. But before she can pursue it, a secret from her past calls her to duty, and she'll have to travel back into danger one more time to rescue a part of herself she'd left behind. But will she make it back? And will that future still be waiting for her if she does?

An inspirational collection of essays about starting over in mid-life by a fresh, original voice who has reported on Minnesota Public Radio and was co-host of "The Al Franken Show." Katherine Lanpher, whose essays have appeared in the New York Times and More magazine, officially moved to Manhattan on a leap day, transferring from a rooted life in the Midwest to a new job, a new city, and a new sense of who she was. But re-invention is a tricky business and starting over in the middle of life isn't for the feint of heart. Katherine Lanpher's short essay on her first six months in New York--"A Manhattan Admonition" was published last August in the New York Times op-ed page and remained on their list of most e-mailed stories for weeks. Now she has written a book chronicling how her past life and loves have prepared her for unexpected discoveries in her new home. Lanpher looks back on her marriage, her early days in newspapers, and her childhood in the Midwest. And, with startling insight, she examines her new world--how beauty is defined in New York, how the landscape differs from the Midwest, and how good food and books have been constants in her life. The tone of her essays mixes the emotional depth of Anna Quindlen with the quirky wit of David Sedaris.

"No matter how broken you are, you are still God's creation, and only He knows how to put you back together again. I believe that through the life I lived, as shared in Satan's Underground, I have begun to learn a little bit about God's way of dealing with emotional pain. No matter what the trouble, His answers remain the same. And so it is my prayer that, as I share some of these answers with you, you will find hope and healing for your hurting heart." from I Know You're Hurting In the fall of 1992, Pelican published Lauren Stratford's breakthrough work, I Know You're Hurting: Living Through Emotional Pain . This book speaks to people who have been victims of any abuse-physical, emotional, or spiritual. Though Lauren Stratford draws on to her own experiences as a survivor of ritual abuse by a satanic cult, the important lessons-reclaiming one's spirituality and cultivating a sense of self-worth-are helpful for anyone who has felt the pain of abuse. I Know You're Hurting was also originally published by Harvest House but was only released for a short time due to the growing controversy associated with Satan's Underground, Lauren Stratford's previous book, which tackles the same issues. By publishing I Know You're Hurting, Pelican demonstrated that it believed in Stratford's story, which it continues to stand behind today. I Know You're Hurting is a significant contribution to the spiritual recovery market for its valid insight into a growing area of abuse that few are willing to talk about. Also, it also has a general focus, which has an important role in the mainstream self-help market.

A Christian Science Monitor Best Fiction Book of the Year A Guardian Best Book of the Year A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year The stunningly vibrant final novel in the bestselling Ibis Trilogy from Amitav Ghosh, Flood of Fire. It is 1839 and China has embargoed the trade of opium, yet too much is at stake in the lucrative business and the British Foreign Secretary has ordered the colonial government in India to assemble an expeditionary force for an attack to reinstate the trade. Among those consigned is Kesri Singh, a soldier in the army of the East India Company. He makes his way eastward on the Hind, a transport ship that will carry him from Bengal to Hong Kong. Along the way, many characters from the Ibis Trilogy come aboard, including Zachary Reid, a young American speculator in opium futures, and Shireen, the widow of an opium merchant whose mysterious death in China has compelled her to seek out his lost son. The Hind docks in Hong Kong just as war breaks out and opium is “pouring into the market like monsoon flood.” From Bombay to Calcutta, from naval engagements to the decks of a hospital ship, among embezzlement, profiteering, and espionage, Amitav Ghosh’s Flood of Fire charts a breathless course through the culminating moment of the British opium trade and vexed colonial history.
