How Far to Heaven
At the end of the twentieth century, a woman's awakening passion takes her on a journey of self-discovery. Based on the myth of Psyche and Eros, this novel tells the story of a woman who boldly navigates through the complexities of love and loss, masculinity and femininity, eroticism and spirituality, to discover, in an unusual way, that she is a lesbian. Sorely wounded and disillusioned after a second failed marriage and the death of her parents, Elizabeth Burroe, a masseuse by trade, enters into the mysterious world of erotic bliss and works through four labors that forge her into the woman she was always meant to be. --- How Far to Heaven is at once a coming-out novel, a simmering love story, an intimate portrayal of the rugged green beauty of the Pacific Northwest and an intriguing illustration of how mythology can play itself out in our daily life.

Kathleen
Kathleen Ferrier has a reputation as the greatest lyric contralto of the twentiety century. Her story, from her humble beginnings as a telephone operator in Blackburn to the height of international fame as one of the world's leading concert artists and her untimely death at the age of forty-one, is told told with compelling insight and perception, using a variety of sources, from photographs, diaries, and private letters to the memoirs and recollections of those who knew her best. Despite having no formal musical training, Kathleen worked with all the celebrated conductors of the time, and is remembered for her performances of music by Brahms, Schubert and Mahler, as well as a handful of operatic roles. Enlarging considerably on many alternative biographies, this excellent account captures the warmth, humour and charm of a figure whose astonishing life and career proved to be, sadly, all too brief.

In its aftermath, one young American soldier lay dead not far from the beach he was guarding. But who was he? And what were the circumstances which had led to his tragic death? The Shadow of Sacrifice answers these questions and, in the process, tells the compelling and poignant st...
