Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.

When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

The One Evening in Eden audiobook gives insight into the spiritual goals and progression of the poet-philosopher John Moriarty, including readings from the booklet Serious Sounds. Blending Eastern and Western philosophies, Moriarty seeks to unveil the innate connection between religion and spirituality. 'Seeking to Walk Beautifully on the Earth' details Moriarty's exploration of six Indian-American stories, capturing the time when Moriarty de-Europeanised himself and lived through the Native American myths, as he felt they had more resonance than some European myths. Here are stories that permit us to stand in a new way and a better way upon the Earth. There is an outer journey and there is an inner journey with an inner Eucharist that we can listen to, to help us on our way. There is a self-singing Sanctus that is un-fallen at the core of our being. 'Tridium Sacrum' is our transition back into the divine and back into the Earth as well. Moriarty did not believe that the Christian way was the only way to God. However, he remained Christian because Jesus pioneered a way for everyone and everything by starting below in the canyon – the lowest point in the Earth. Moriarty wanted to put the bright angel trail (the path that leads down to the floor of the grand canyon) back at the heart of a new culture. Moriarty proclaimed a new Christian epoch called canyon Christianity – where Jesus took on not only the sins of the world but also the impulses and the energies of the human psyche and of animals. 'Six Stories' do not ask too much or too little of ourselves. Moriarty inherits his humanity in all its awkwardness and crookedness and all its contradiction and as long as he does not hurt anyone else he allows his nature to happen to him. The vernacular is very important – the author believed that Theology, or the words Theo Logos meaning discourse or an account of or an understanding of God, was a contradiction in itself. We cannot talk about God at all but we can talk about the journey back to God. These six stories are about the journey back to God. 'The Eden Collection' is a set of poems in which Moriarty confronts his own darkness as Faust did – consciously. At the age of twenty eight Moriarty underwent Ragnorok (Nordic for 'the end of the world') after which he wrote no more poetry. Feeling there was "too much happening between the lines …" Moriarty returned instead to prose. Modern poetry read to Moriarty like crafted prose. He liked cadence and rhythm and felt it was absent in modern poetry. He wanted to write poems that were almost incantatory. Moriarty believed that cadence and rhythm were essential to poetry and he challenged modern poets to produce poetry like this again. These philosophies and beliefs culminate into a sensuous world of lyrical mysticism, told only as John Moriarty could.

Between the 17th and 19th centuries auto-biographers and diarists invented new ways to write about childhood and children. At the same time, pedagogical ideas about child-rearing changed. This book looks at the connection between these developments. Egodocuments can bring the past alive, and allow us to sketch six intimate portraits. The second part of the book concentrates on the changes. Childhood became more highly valued as a phase of life. Children were taken more seriously. This is shown in chapters on child's play, punishment, wet-nursing and independence. Around 1800, in diaries, parents more openly grieved about the loss of a child, which indicates both a change of literary conventions and changes in the way emotions were felt and expressed. Finally, autobiographers wrote more and differently about their early years, and developed new memory strategies. Autobiographical texts are discussed within a wider cultural setting, using paintings, poetry, pedagogical tracts and novels. This book makes clear how changes in autobiographical style, the concept of childhood and the working of human memory are connected.

Bloomsbury presents Good Talk written and read by Mira Jacob. 'By turns hilarious and heart-rending. Plunges fearlessly into the murky grey areas of race and family, of struggling to find common ground, of trying to talk to our children and help them make sense of it all' Celeste Ng 'Does Donald Trump hate Muslims?' 'Is that how people really walk on the moon?' 'Is it bad to be brown?' 'Are white people afraid of brown people?' Inspired by her viral BuzzFeed piece '37 Difficult Questions from My Mixed-Raced Son', Mira Jacob responds to: her six-year-old, Zakir, who asks if the new president hates brown boys like him; uncomfortable relationship advice from her parents, who came to the United States from India one month into their arranged marriage; and increasingly fraught exchanges with her Trump-supporting in-laws. Jacob also investigates her own past, including how it felt to be a brown-skinned New Yorker on 9/11. As earnest and moving as they are laugh-out-loud funny, these are the stories that have shaped one life, but will resonate with many others.
