The month of October has started and in this post we bring you a publishing
new each.
MARTA’S PROPOSAL
Abstract:
The warm fall day starts like any other at the
Center—a women’s reproductive health services clinic—its staff offering care to
anyone who passes through its doors. Then, in late morning, a desperate and
distraught gunman bursts in and opens fire, taking all inside hostage.
After rushing to the scene, Hugh McElroy, a police
hostage negotiator, sets up a perimeter and begins making a plan to communicate
with the gunman. As his phone vibrates with incoming text messages he glances
at it and, to his horror, finds out that his fifteen-year-old daughter, Wren,
is inside the clinic.
But Wren is not alone. She will share the next and
tensest few hours of her young life with a cast of unforgettable characters: A
nurse who calms her own panic in order save the life of a wounded woman. A
doctor who does his work not in spite of his faith but because of it, and who
will find that faith tested as never before. A pro-life protester disguised as
a patient, who now stands in the cross hairs of the same rage she herself has
felt. A young woman who has come to terminate her pregnancy. And the disturbed
individual himself, vowing to be heard.
Told in a daring and enthralling narrative structure
that counts backward through the hours of the standoff, this is a story that traces
its way back to what brought each of these very different individuals to the
same place on this fateful day.
Jodi Picoult—one of the most fearless writers of our
time—tackles a complicated issue in this gripping and nuanced novel. How do we
balance the rights of pregnant women with the rights of the unborn they carry?
What does it mean to be a good parent? A Spark of Light will inspire
debate, conversation . . . and, hopefully, understanding
SARU’S PROPOSAL
Abstract:
Five Dunbar brothers are living – fighting, loving, grieving – in the
perfect chaos of a house without grown-ups. Today, the father who left them has
just walked right back in.
He has a surprising request: Who will build a bridge with him?
It is Clay, a boy tormented by a long-buried secret, who accepts. But why
is Clay so broken? And why must he fulfil this extraordinary challenge?
Bridge of Clay is about a boy caught in a current, a boy intent on destroying everything
he has in order to become everything he needs to be. Ahead of him lies the
bridge, the vision that will save both his family and himself.
It will be a miracle and nothing less.
ROCÍO’S PROPOSAL
Abstract:
One Crowned, Two Exiled, A Revolution Rising.
The battle has been fought, blood has been spilt and a queen has been
crowned, but not all are happy with the outcome.
Katharine, the poisoner queen, has been crowned and is trying to ignore the
whispers that call her illegitimate, undead, cursed.
Mirabella and Arsinoe have escaped the island of Fennbirn, but how long
before the island calls them back?
Jules is returning to Fennbirn and has become the unlikely figurehead of a
revolution threatening to topple Katharine's already unsteady rule.

bestselling Three Dark Crowns series. Discover more about Fennbirn and the
three queens in the thrilling start to the quartet, Three Dark Crowns, and its
