Black and White
by Filippo GiganteAlex is a boy of about twenty-five years of age, orphaned from his father Domenico, and his mother Marina is a figure somewhat absent in the house. He would like to find a new path, where we can understand what makes up the light of all those smiles that he always receives from his paternal grandparents: Sato and Paola. Among unforeseen situations, emotions of all kinds, friends, beautiful stories in the grandparents’ garden and walking by the sea, a circus comes to town. Alex will become friends with Damabiah, a white clown, who will lead him on a road never traveled ... where the heart and the mind will read and respect each other. BLACK AND WHITE is not only the story of the inner journey, which the main character will take, but it is the synthesis of all the many journeys, among thousands of contrasts, that each of us is willing to undertake alone or in company. Between what is good and what is evil, what is light and what is dark, I hope you can fall intensely in love with this novel, written to convey to all of you, as well as to me, a moral that we often forget the daily chaos.

Blackberry Cove (A Sunset Bay Novel #3)
by Roxanne SnopekAmid the wildly beautiful beaches of Sunset Bay, Oregon, lies Sanctuary Ranch, a refuge for strays, both human and animal. A place where love and healing go hand-in-hand . . . When journalist Jonathan Byers leaves L.A. with his career in tatters, he heads to Sanctuary Ranch, determined to settle some of his personal affairs by putting his aging father in a seniors’ home. But his father stubbornly refuses to leave his secluded retreat—and has even rallied Sanctuary Ranch’s beautiful gardener to his cause. Something about sexy, mysterious Abby Warren piques the rugged reporter’s investigative instincts—and his interest—luring Jonathan to stay a little longer . . . Having found her own healing at Sanctuary Ranch, Abby knows Jonathan’s hard-headedness hides a wound that needs mending. Believing a time-out in nature will help father and son see eye-to-eye, she welcomes Jonathan into the only haven she has ever known. But Abby never expects to find herself so drawn to him—or that he will uncover devastating secrets she’d hoped to keep long buried. Will their deepening connection be enough to steer them through the darkness ahead, and toward a bright future for everyone? Praise for Sunset Bay Sanctuary “Grief and loss define this slow burning contemporary romance featuring a large cast of folksy characters who infuse the first installment in Snopek’s Sunset Bay series with lots of down home charm and many examples of tough love. Fans of small town series with character driven plots, such as those by Susan Wiggs and Debbie Macomber, will find that Sunset Bay hits the spot.” —Booklist

When he laughs at her ambition, she unwittingly sets in motion events that will change the fate of the whole Thorel household and set the scene for a devastating day of reckoning between her and Sara.THE PRICE OF a piece of silk may prove more than either is able to pay.(P)2019 Quercus Editions Limited
