Will the ghosts of the past ever be laid to rest? Twenty-five years on, the fallout from the thwarted love affair between Susan Summers and Jonathan Ashby continues to affect the lives of others in Blood is Thicker, this third novel in the ‘Voice from the Past’ trilogy. Georgia Shaughnessy in particular now finds herself in a quandary. Stunningly beautiful, vivacious and outgoing, Georgia, a Belfast girl living in London, is blissfully happy in a stable, loving relationship – until she inadvertently stumbles across some disturbing information about her boyfriend. “Georgia froze as the two voices behind her continued to discuss the man she loved in the most derogatory terms.” Catch up with Charlotte and Neal, Suzy and Ralph and other favourite characters from the first two books and see how Georgia’s life becomes inextricably intertwined with theirs as she struggles with her conscience in a desperate attempt to save her relationship. “Trouble was definitely brewing; she could feel it in her bones.” This family drama will be enjoyed by readers of contemporary romance fiction and those interested in the psychology of relationships. Maggie O’ Farrell, Hilary Boyd, Lisa Jewell and Jill Mansell have all influenced Heather’s writing style.

In the Greater Scheme of Things

By: Heather MacQuarrie

In the Greater Scheme of Things is the page-turning sequel which reintroduces us to some of the characters we first encountered in A Voice From the Past. When Francine Martin applies for the position of nanny with the popular Leclerc family, she is looking for much more than a new job. She wants a whole new life. But what is she running from? Why is she so determined to cut all ties with the people she once loved so dearly? Is Francine even her real name? Caught off guard one day, not realising that she is in the company of her employers’ family and friends, she reveals that she is actually called Frankie. Evie O’Sullivan is trying to rebuild her life following the breakdown of her ten-year marriage to Liam. Desperately lonely, she too finds solace in the workplace and tries to remain positive for the sake of her young daughter. In the Greater Scheme of Things introduces new characters, new situations and new locations but ultimately brings us back to some unresolved issues from Heather’s debut novel, A Voice from the Past. This family drama will be enjoyed by readers of contemporary romance fiction and those interested in the psychology of relationships. Maggie O’ Farrell, Lisa Jewell, Jill Mansell, Emily Barr and Carole Matthews have all influenced Heather’s writing style and creativity.

Grass Roots

Grass Roots

By: Heather Robertson

Heather Robertson's classic account of life and death on the Canadian prairie was praised and reviled with equal vehemence when it first appeared: "a pack of lies" said one reviewer; "dynamite" said another. Both her reporting and analysis are, in fact, explosive. The book offers intimate profiles of four modern prairie towns and of the immense difficulties faced by farmers in Western Canada. It offers sweeping descriptions of the forces that led to the settlement of the West, and examines how those same forces, controlled from eastern Canada, are causing the inexorable decline of many rural communities. Grass Roots is a superb portrait of an imperilled way of life, combining economics, history and politics with a remarkable eye for storytelling.

Women, Intimate Partner Violence, and the Law

Women, Intimate Partner Violence, and the Law

By: Heather Douglas

Every year, millions of women across the world turn to the law to help them live free from intimate partner violence. They engage with child protection services and police and apply for civil protection orders. They seek family court orders to keep their children safe from violent fathers, and take special visa pathways to avoid deportation following their separation from an abuser. Women are often driven to interact with the law to counteract their abuser's myriad legal applications against them. While separation may seem like a solution, often the abuse just gets worse. Countless women who have experienced intimate partner violence are enmeshed in overlapping, complex, and often inconsistent legal processes. They have both fleeting and longer-term connections with the legal system. Women, Intimate Partner Violence, and the Law explores how women from many different backgrounds interact with the law in response to intimate partner violence, over time. Drawing on their experiences of seeking help from the law, this book highlights the many failures of the legal system to provide safety for women and their children. The women's stories show how abusers often harness aspects of the legal process to continue their abuse. Heather Douglas reveals women's complex experiences of using law as a response to intimate partner violence. Douglas interviewed women three times over three years to reveal their journey through the legal process. On occasion, the legal system allowed some women closure. However, circular and unexpected outcomes were a common experience. The resulting book showcases the level of endurance, tenacity, and patience it takes women to seek help and receive protection through law. This book shows how the legal system is failing too often to keep women and their children safe and how it might do better.

Discoveries of Medically Themed Media

Pediatric Patients and Parents’ Journeys of Sense-making

By: Heather A. Stilwell

Discoveries of Medically Themed Media: Pediatric Patients and Parents’ Journeys of Sense-making examines the information needs and sense-making processes of pediatric patients through ethnographic accounts of 14 children undergoing craniofacial, neurological, and neurosurgical treatment. It contends that children rely on information—much of which is not delivered in an age-appropriate manner but rather geared toward adults—for the navigation of their medical experiences, and proposes medically themed media as a significant avenue by which greater understanding and sense-making are possible for pediatric patients.

Cultural Sexism

Cultural Sexism

The Politics of Feminist Rage in the #metoo Era

By: Heather Savigny

How does gendered power work? How does it circulate? How does it become embedded? And most importantly, how can we challenge it? Heather Savigny highlights five key traits of cultural sexism – violence, silencing, disciplining, meritocracy and masculinity – prevalent across the media, entertainment and cultural industries that keep sexist values firmly within popular consciousness. She traces the development of key feminist thinkers before demonstrating how the normalization of misogyny in popular media, culture, news and politics perpetuates patriarchal values within our everyday social and cultural landscape. She argues that we need to understand why #MeToo was necessary in the first place in order to bring about impactful, lasting and meaningful change.

Equivocal Predication

Equivocal Predication

George Herbert's Way to God

By: Heather A.R. Ross (Asals)

Equivocation replaced Thomistic analogy as a means of predicting God in the minds of many seventeenth-century divines. In this study, Professor Asals analyses George Herbert’s use of language as a method of devotion in his major cycle poem, The Temple. Tracing the logical notion of equivocation (here the extensive us of puns and pun-like verbal devices) as prediction through other influences on his poetry, she argues that the very basis of Herbert’s work lies in its responsibility in predicting God as One and Love. Asals explains that, for Herbert, the act of writing a poem—the actual handwriting—was a sacramental and ceremonial act of worship recreating Christ’s death on the cross: ink becomes blood. The sign on the printed page points sacramentally to the blood it signifies. Thus, the domain of Herbert’s poetry reaches from earth to heaven and from heaven to earth. Continuing with an examination of Herbert’s language, including aspects of phonology, morphology, and syntax, Asals reveals its two-fold significance in expression and meaning. Through a detailed reading of the entire corpus, she investigates the profound influence of Augustinianism and Wisdom literature on the way poetry works and explores the meaning of gesture and its importance to Herbert’s Anglicanism—his belief in the importance of ceremony. In the final chapter, on the topos of Magdalene, its relationship to Herbert’s mother, and his mother’s importance to his writing, Asals argues that Anglicanism as a way to God (and God as a way to himself) is at the very core of Herbert’s poetics. This book establishes a new critical milieu in which Herbert may be interpreted and sheds new light on the poetry of other writers of the period.
