The way back home
ALIAS ANNA FITZGERALD... There was danger in Anna Fitzgerald's past--and there would be danger in her future, too, if anyone ever discovered she was really Rosie Jensen. As a teenager, she'd fled from an impossible situation, only to discover that, for a runaway, life on the streets was worse than she could have imagined. But she'd survived, and now she was a woman, with every woman's need for love. If only the man whose love she needed could be anyone but Grady Clayton: honest, upstanding, a public figure-with a career that would be destroyed if the world ever learned of her secret past, her hidden shame.
A Child of Books
A little girl sails her raft across a sea of words, arriving at the house of a small boy and calling him away on an adventure. Through forests of fairy tales and across mountains of make-believe, the two travel together on a fantastical journey that unlocks the boy’s imagination. Now a lifetime of magic and adventure lies ahead of him . . . but who will be next? Combining elegant images by Oliver Jeffers and Sam Winston’s typographical landscapes shaped from excerpts of children’s classics and lullabies, A Child of Books is a stunning prose poem on the rewards of reading and sharing stories—an immersive and unforgettable reading experience that readers will want to pass on to others.
