Would you lay down your life for a friend? Budding playwright Allie prefers to keep her drama on the stage… …until she goes on a week’s sixth-form trip to the stunning but treacherous Morecambe Bay where she meets a mysterious boy whose accent she can’t place. Step by painful step, Allie finds out who Mareno really is. The more she learns about the dangers that ensnare him, the more determined she becomes to write him a happy story. But the drama that unfolds is all too real, with an ending no one would seek. Content warning: exploitation; death of secondary characters including a dog.

Igloo

By: Jennifer Burkinshaw

A surprise Christmas holiday in the French Alps should be a dream come true, but not for sixteen-year-old Nirvana. She has important plans to complete at home, and tensions are high with her parents. In desperation, Niv skips ski school and heads off-piste towards the forest, where she discovers a hidden igloo. Better still, it’s empty. When its builder, Jean-Louis, finds her trespassing, he suggests they share the igloo, and as the pair find common ground in their struggles to be themselves, they realise they are each other’s perfect Christmas gift. Too soon, Niv must return home to Lancashire. Now in two different countries, each faces new problems, alone, and their battle to be together becomes infinitely harder. Is it a battle they can win? Or will their sweet, fledgling romance be lost to the seasons, like the igloo where it began? Praise for Igloo: “Igloo is a heart-warming story of first love set against the stunning backdrop of the French Alps. I was rooting for Niv and her journey from the start! Nirvana is such an inspiration to girls – particularly given the current market – for standing up for what she believes in. A girl who is passionate about joinery and can make an igloo from scratch? And make her own love story happen at the same time? Go Niv!” – Eve Chancellor, poet and author of short stories on East of the Web

Another North

By: Jennifer Brice

The pieces in this collection capture the feeling of being buffeted by great gusts of middle-aged longing. What began as one woman's quarrel with Buddhism, especially its doctrine of non-attachment, morphs into a larger question: What's the right way to love a person or a thing? With voluptuous detail and rigorous self-interrogation, Jennifer Brice looks for answers in family lore, personal experience, conversations with friends, and beloved books. The result is a tender, moving, far-reaching--sometimes delightfully funny, sometimes achingly poignant--exploration of the powerful ties that bind us to one another and to the world around us.

If We're Being Honest: Silencing the Lies We Tell Ourselves to Live a Life We Love

By: Jennifer Thompson

Do you ever find yourself feeling alone? As if somehow, you're the only person in the world who can't seem to get their life together? Women everywhere struggle with feeling as though we're failing. We shapeshift in and out of our roles as mother, wife, daughter, employee, friend, and volunteer in a desperate attempt to be all and give all... but at what cost? Jennifer Thompson was doing well at fitting the bill of being a working mom and wife, but on the inside, she was screaming. She wrestled with comparison, and focused on her inconsistencies and gaps, instead of her ability to continually show up. She set expectations no one could uphold, only to beat herself up when she couldn't meet them. With yesterday's mascara streaming down her face from a good shower cry, she hit a pivotal crossroad. She could continue down a path of chasing perfection at every turn or she could learn to let go. She could choose to love herself today. She now brings her, "been there done that" stories of her own failures and how accepting herself flaws and all has changed her life...and how it can change yours, too. If We Are Being Honest challenges women everywhere to walk into freedom and peace by rejecting the idea that perfection exists, and instead, honoring and owning who we are at our core to find joy on the other side. Are you ready to get honest?
