novels.
    Counterpointe Art, science, love, and
ambition collide as a dancer on the verge of achieving her dreams
is devastated by an injury. Afterward, Clare Eliason rushes into a
marriage with Rob Chapin, a scientist. The marriage falters,
propelling Clare and Rob on journeys of self-discovery. Rob joins a
scientific expedition to Peru, where he discovers how easy it is to
die. Clare’s journey, which takes her only a few blocks from the
Boston apartment she shared with Rob, is no less profound. During
their time apart, each will have a chance to save a life, one will
succeed, one will not. Finally, they will face the most difficult
quest of all, navigating the space that still lies between
them.
    Absence of Grace The memory of an act
committed when she was nineteen weaves a dark thread through Clen
McClendon's life. It is a darkness Clen ignores until the discovery
of her husband's infidelity propels her on a quest for redemption
and forgiveness. Her journeying is providing few answers and peace
remains elusive, even during the time she spends in an abbey. But
when Clen makes a decision that is both desperate and random to go
to Wrangell, Alaska, she will learn choices are never truly random
and they always have consequences.
    Dreams for Stones Poignant and
haunting, Dreams for Stones is a story of loss and second chances.
Alan Francini, a man who has given up on love, and Kathy Jamison, a
woman who has learned to let go of love too easily need all the
magic of serendipity, old diaries, and a children's story to take
another chance on love.

Dreams for Stones) An arsonist seeking revenge, and the ending of a

a new place to live, Charles finds much more as he reaches out to
help his neighbor Luz Blair. Then he learns Luz is being sought in
the disappearance of the two children she is caring for, and he
must decide whether to report her. As he weighs his responsibility
as an officer of the court against his growing conviction Luz did
the right thing in running away, he risks not only his career but
the integrity of his soul. It is the kind of decision that will
alter everything that comes after.
