What links the murder of seventeen-year-old Helen Carstairs in 1954 to the murder, over thirty years earlier, of Private Rodney Purbright? The tragic story of two sisters, one pretty, one plain, is key to both murders. The Rowan sisters are bound together by a secret they must keep, and their reclusive behaviour plants suspicion in the minds of their neighbours, who regard them as ‘witches’. Dispensing herbal remedies and keeping a mangy black cat add to their air of mystery and seem to bear out the rumours.

When a mysterious middle-aged woman moves in next door to St Stephen’s vicarage, she is immediately taken under the wing of Nancy Harper, the Reverend Bernard Paltoquet’s redoubtable housekeeper.

Bernard and his friend Dr Robbie MacTavish also begin to think she has a dark secret.

The date 1888; the place Whitechapel in London’s East End. Yes, it is the time of the unholy, but mercifully brief, reign of Jack the Ripper. Prostitutes are being viciously murdered by an unknown assailant and, as the murders become ever more horrific, young Polish immigrant, Jacek Kaminski, is gradually suspected of being the perpetrator. He even begins to suspect so himself, being subject to blackouts during which he has no recollection of what he has done.

Jed Parks, Bernard Paltoquet’s new gardener, has an unusual psychic gift: he can see people’s auras. A black aura is a death sentence. He also has a guilty secret. Having helped to cover up two murders, he lives in fear his past will come back to haunt him. Thus, when Lady Mountjoy, his former employer and lover, turns up telling him he is the father of her son, he is torn between his old life and his new.

וינסטון שלנו, שוויתר על חייו באמריקה, מתגנב לשטח האויב על מנת להשלים את מלאכתו החקלאית-פואטית. כאשר עולה השחר מתקפת האביב מתחילה, וגיבורנו נקלע לקרב שנמשך 24 שעות, בעודו שרוע על האדמה, לכוד במלחמה בין אדם לרעהו: האחד נלחם למען שחרור העולם החופשי, והאחר נלחם על מנת לשעבדו. ברקע נשמעים רעשי פגזים ותחמושת חיה, מוזיקת התותחים, אך בהפוגות מצליח וינסטון לחשוב ואף לחלום. כל חייו נפרשים לנגד עיניו כמניפה ועומדים במבחן: זיכרונות של חיים בארץ החלומות, מלווים ברגעים אקזיסטנציאליים.

These show that written or recorded prayers can be prayed, especially when we cannot find the words to express what we are going through. These simple prayers are...

According to a 2022 article published in Forbes, women still comprise just 25% of healthcare leadership positions. Women in healthcare are often deterred from seeking a career in leadership due to the lack of organizational support for work-life integration, gender equity, racial discrimination, and pay equality.

After 20 years in the healthcare field with leadership roles in academia, public health, the insurance industry, and hospital administration, my mission is...
