Annie's Christmas
by Pat PritchardONCE IN A LIFETIME The White River is treacherous even in good weather, but steamboat captain Isaac Chase hopes to make one more round trip before winter sets in. He has no choice--he must earn enough money to repair the vessel by spring. Then, during a sudden storm that traps him on the river, an explosion on board knocks him unconscious--and the first face he sees when he comes to is Annie Dunbar's. Annie knows taking in the injured captain is the only decent thing to do. Someone has to care for him, and there is a spare room at the boardinghouse she owns. But she'd have slammed the door and locked it had she realized that he was the one man who could bring her carefully constructed world tumbling down--and heal her wounded heart. Yet with that healing comes the yearning to love again... Now Christmas is coming, the season of gifts and miracles--and the perfect time for wishes to come true...

by Maureen CoppingerThe shocking but ultimately uplifting life story of an Irish woman who endured 13 years of cruelty and injustice in an orphanageMaureen Coppinger's earliest memory is of watching the woman she believed to be her mother walk away and abandon her to the care of the nuns at one of Ireland's notorious industrial schools.

Life in the outside world brought its own challenges, however, and Maureen was thrown into turmoil when she discovered that the truth about her past was more murky than she had ever realised.Annie's Girl stands apart as a poignant testimony to the resilience of the human heart. This touching and evocative memoir is the incredible story of an illegitimate industrial-school survivor's profound struggle to overcome a shame-filled past and solve the mystery of her origins.Maureen Coppinger emigrated to Canada in 1955, where she married and raised three sons. She worked as a school secretary for 25 years before retiring in 1994 and now spends her leisure time as a volunteer for the Galway Association.

Annihilation: The Sense and Significance of Death
by Christopher BelshawThe ever-present possibility of death forces upon us the question of life's meaning and for this reason death has been a central concern of philosophers throughout history. From Socrates to Heidegger, philosophers have grappled with the nature and significance of death. In "Annihilation", Christopher Belshaw explores two central questions at the heart of philosophy's engagement with death: what is death; and is it bad that we die? Belshaw begins by distinguishing between literal and metaphorical uses of the term and offers a unified and biological account of death, denying that death brings about non-existence. How our death relates to the death of the brain is explored in detail. Belshaw considers the common-sense view that death is often bad for us by examining the circumstances that might make it bad as well as the grounds for thinking that one death can be worse than another. In addition, Belshaw explores whether we can be harmed after we die and before we were born. The final chapters explore whether we should prevent more deaths and whether, via cryonics, brain transplants, data storage, we might cheat death. Throughout Belshaw shows how questions of personhood and life's value are bound up with our views on the sense and significance of death. "Annihilation's" in-depth analysis and insightful exposition will be welcomed not only by philosophers working on the metaphysics of death but also by students and scholars alike looking for a foundation for discussions of the ethics of abortion, euthanasia, life-support and suicide.
