The Ballad of Josephine
by Anne Lynn McKay
Britain has been at war for five years, and in 1944 Josephine Devine, a newly qualified Catholic teacher, returns to her home town in northern England to begin her career. When her friend, Jim McCleary, declares his love, she’s shocked at his desire to marry her. Her ambitious family put pressure on Josephine to encourage the young surgeon. Then, at a Christmas dance she encounters a charismatic soldier, home on leave. Tom Rowan, handsome, confident, with a seductive charm, tilts Josephine’s world on its axis. Caught between these two men and relentless coercion from her mother and sisters, Josephine tries to navigate her way forward. This story captures the enduring class divide in postwar Britain, as well as the struggles of a Catholic woman to make choices about her own body. Josephine’s decision, for better or worse, will have life-long repercussions.

The Church on the Street
Ministry of Presence by Deacon Robert Kinghorn
“In ‘The Church on the Street’ Deacon Robert Kinghorn leads us on a compelling and inspiring journey through the streets of Toronto, as he offers powerful witness to the values of the Gospel amid the dire circumstances faced by growing numbers of people. ‘The Church on the Street’ is necessary reading for all members of the clergy, those involved in active ministry, and for all who may be inspired to help bring the love, light and mercy of Christ to those who struggle within the margins of our society." Monsignor A. Robert Nusca, President, St. Augustine’s Seminary “Many years ago, I recall watching a television interview of a young woman who was living on the streets. Most people walked by her as quickly as possible so as to avoid being asked for help. Others would hastily drop some coins in her basket as they hurried uncomfortably past. One man walked up to her, bent down in front of her and looked at her directly in the eyes. With deep concern, he asked how she was doing. The young woman broke down in tears because it was the first time that someone actually acknowledged her existence. Each one of us longs to be known and acknowledged. The wise Deacon's stories reveal the good that can happen when we stop, look and listen to our neighbour in need. The Gospel calls us to see Jesus in others. Do we? Are we even looking? The ‘Church on the Street’ is both a consolation and a challenge for us who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ.” Father Peter Turrone, Holy Rosary Parish “Deacon Robert has persevered faithfully in his ‘ministry of presence’ to those he meets on the streets for over 20 years. In this book, you will encounter some of the people whose lives have touched his own and discover that when we take the time to listen, we find that everyone carries a story worth hearing.” Deacon Mike Walsh, Executive Director, National Catholic Broadcasting Council

45's & A Trench Coat
by Robert J Groves
Set in the seaside town of White Rock, B.C., Private Investigator Jackson Cole may be a nostalgia buff, but he’ll be the first to tell you that not everything is better when it’s older: the trail of accountant William Moore has certainly not improved in the half-decade since he disappeared. Jackson, though, has a fantastic team: between retired forensic scientist Sam (his best friend and trivia-genius sparring partner) and hacker extraordinaire Emily (his ex-wife and current flame), he’s got the best chance of anyone of finding a man who’s left no trace. But William’s abandoned daughter Grace, who’s not sure if her dad’s still alive, isn’t the only one he left with unfinished business. Even after all this time, someone else is pursuing this missing man, Someone who’s determined, dangerous and not above leveraging Jackson to achieve their goal. In his race to find the truth, sometime it’s better to be lucky than good, but you can’t go wrong trying for both.
