The pace never falters and I found the writing and storyline literally breathtaking...written so beautifully and honestly.' - 'Writing Out Loud

Charlie Johnson is 13 and in her first year of high school. She loves her family, netball and Liam, the cute guy who sits next to her in Science-but most of all she loves horses and horse-riding.

Four months later, long after the police and the SES have called off the search, Charlie is found wandering injured and filthy miles from where she was last seen. Her family rejoice in her return, but can anyone truly recover from what Charlie's been through? When a life has been shattered, how do you put the pieces back together? A moving, haunting and all-too-real-novel that takes you beyond the headlines and explores a family's worst nightmare with compassion and insight.

After the Fall

After the Fall

By: Kylie Ladd

“That’s the thing about falling. It doesn’t go on indefinitely, and it rarely ends well . . . ” In her page-turning fiction debut, neuropsychologist Kylie Ladd delivers a searing portrait of two marriages united and betrayed by friendship. “I had been married three years when I fell in love,” begins Kate, a firecracker of a woman who thought she’d found the yin to her yang in Cary, her sensible and adoring husband. For their friend Luke—a charismatic copywriter who loves women and attention in equal measure, and preferably together—life has been more than sweet beside Cressida, the dutiful pediatric oncologist who stole his heart. But when a whimsical flirtation between Kate and Luke turns into something far more dangerous, the foursome will be irrevocably intertwined by more than just their shared history. After the Fall follows the origin and fallout of the most passionate of affairs through the eyes of all four characters, unveiling the misunderstandings and unspoken needs that lie beneath our search for love and connection. The narrative moves effortlessly between past and present, painting a nostalgic picture of the two marriages at their most idealistic—the exact moment when like turned to love—and at their most volatile. Thanks to the boundless compassion with which Ladd draws her characters, one can’t help but root for them as they wrestle between newfound desire and remembrances of time past, all the while spinning toward an inevitable conclusion. Steeped in psychological insight and raw emotion, After the Fall is an unsettling novel of the many ways we love and hurt each other.

Dive Bar - Volume 3

By: Kylie Scott

La réputation de tombeur d’Eric Collins, l’un des propriétaires du Dive Bar, n’est plus à faire. Rien de surprenant donc qu’il remarque d’emblée la belle Jean, nouvelle venue en ville. Sauf que non seulement elle ne veut rien entendre de lui, mais elle est également enceinte. Une bonne raison pour tenir Eric à l’écart... D’autant plus que, décidée à mettre un terme à son style de vie déluré, Jean aspire à être le genre de mère qu’elle a toujours rêvé d’avoir. Pourtant, lorsqu’elle commence à avoir des contractions alors qu’elle est coincée dans sa voiture en pleine tempête de neige, c’est Eric qui lui vient en aide. Un lien s’est désormais tissé entre eux, mais est-ce suffisant ? Eric est-il prêt à changer pour être l’homme dont a besoin Jean ? Traduit de l’anglais par Eva Roques
