Bochica
Una poderosa y escalofriante novela de terror gótico ambientada en la Colombia del siglo XX. Perfecta para fans de Mexican Gothic, La maldición de Hill House y El resplandor.
«Un debut absolutamente impresionante... Una autora a la que hay que seguir de cerca y un libro que hay que leer» --Cynthia Pelayo, autora de Vanishing Daughters y ganadora del Premio Bram Stoker.
En 1920, Antonia y sus padres se mudan a La Casona, la opulenta mansión construída por ellos al borde del Salto del Tequendama: una majestuosa cascada a las afueras de Bogotá, que alguna vez adoraron los indígenas muiscas. Lo que comienza como un sueño pronto se convierte en tragedia: mientras decenas de personas van al Salto a quitarse la vida, Antonia empieza a sufrir pesadillas terribles y Estela, su madre, desvaría cada vez más. La estocada final ocurre cuando Estela cae al vacío, y su padre, enloquecido por el dolor, intenta quemar la casa con Antonia todavía dentro.
Tres años después, atormentada por sueños perturbadores y el críptico diario de su difunta madre, Antonia regresa a la casa, ahora convertida en un lujoso hotel. Pero la visita desencadena una serie de visiones y recuerdos fragmentados que la obligan a preguntarse sobre las verdaderas circunstacias de la muerte de su madre. En busca de respuestas, y sin poder confiar en nadie, Antonia se lanzará a desenterrar los secretos más oscuros de La Casona. El horror ancestral que habita entre sus muros ha sido despertado, y ya no hay vuelta atrás.
Un debut inolvidable de Caronlina Flórez-Cerchiaro, la nueva reina del gótico latinoamericano.

A to Z of Everything
"My darlings . . . Not to be too Hollywood about this, but if you're watching this tape, that can mean only one thing: I have shuffled off this mortal coil . . . and you two are going to need each other more than ever. You need to set aside your differences and look out for each other--just like you always used to."
Poppy and Rose used to be close as sisters could be--until everything went wrong. Now in their forties, they haven't spoken in years. But when their vivacious, glamorous, powerhouse of a mother dies, they are both faced with the shock of grief. However, their mother was not one to go shrinking into the night. No, their mother, Andrea, has left them a project to work on together: a sort of scavenger hunt through their lives, which she calls the A to Z of Everything. Her final wish: to heal the fractured relationship between her daughters that broke her heart.
A is for Ashes. C is for champagne. D is for Daddy Issues. But when they get to F for Forgiveness, can they make a start, even when they can barely look at each other?
With Andrea's wicked sense of humor and wild stories from her acting career, she has left the quest in a series of boxes filled with letters, recordings, videos, mementos, and instructions.
From Liverpool to London and even Paris, the sisters follow the trail toward a glimmer of hope: despite loss, there is room for laughter, love, and healing--and for second chances.

Dread Comes at Daybreak
Lena Nylander joins Ottawa's Civil Service in 1958, expecting parties and glamour, but finds dullness instead. A leaked document about a proposed atomic test in Alberta raises her fears about the arms race and draws her into a local protest group. The stakes are high - if word gets out, there will be outrage from the Soviet Union, and the moratorium between the global nuclear powers will be in jeopardy.
Lena volunteers to organize a protest at the test site, convincing her estranged birthfather to come with her. Tagging along with them is her new boyfriend, a policeman on his own secret mission. When Lena discovers the protest leader in Ottawa wants her to stop the test, she has to decide if this is the right choice, and if she has the courage to pull it off despite the odds stacked against her and the certainty of a prison sentence as her reward for success.
This novel was inspired by a historical reference to disarmers across the globe who took heart with the signing of the Limited Test Ban Treaty by existing and potential nuclear powers in 1963. The fictional events in this novel attempt to show efforts by disarmers who made that treaty possible.

Healing from the Trauma of Pregnancy Loss: Reclaiming Your Reproductive Story
This book aims to help would-be parents and their supporters better understand how pregnancy loss happens, why it is so uniquely traumatic, how experiences of grief and coping can vary, and how sufferers can move forward after these devastating events.
Anyone who has faced the trauma of pregnancy loss--be it a miscarriage, stillbirth, or other experience of heartbreak--knows how lonely, frightening, and overwhelming it can be. These losses, although tragically common, are rarely spoken about, and can leave bereaved would-be parents feeling guilty, shunned, and full of shame. Their friends and family may also feel helpless and unsure of how to react. Based on personal and clinical experience and a deep understanding of the research on pregnancy loss, Dr. Jaffe offers a personable, supportive, and caring voice to serve as a companion in those long hours of grief. The book aims to help readers reflect on pregnancy loss and grief, and to find ways of coping and a path to healing and change. Dr. Jaffe focuses on the concept of the reproductive story: the sometimes conscious, but often unconscious hopes and dreams people internalize about becoming a parent. She shows readers how to uncover and recognize their story--as well as their power to edit that story, write new endings, and continue their journey. -
