With the Depression and the Great War in recent history and the Second World War about to begin, emotions are running high. This is particularly true for young Greta Peters who lost her mother, brother and sister to illness and now lives with her father, Harry. Helping them in their grief is their friendly neighbour Rene, and Greta’s barmaid grandmother, Cissie Hardcastle. But with so many deaths in her family, it is no wonder that Greta believes her house to be haunted when she comes home one foggy, winter’s evening to find a stranger lurking in the darkness. But this was certainly no apparition. Was he a would-be burglar caught in the act, or just a hungry, desperate man?

Christina's mother, Greta, walked out on her when she was just six years old. Now in her thirties, she has reached a desperate crossroads and goes on the run with her youngest child in a bid to find her mother and sanctuary from her husband and family.

Presents the portrait of a wounded country and a story of family and friendship. This book presents the story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely bond and an indestructible love.

stocked 5.11.09 - Sookie Stackhouse works as a cocktail waitress in Merlotte's, a little bar in Bon Temps, a small town deep in Louisiana. She's funny and pretty and well-mannered, but she doesn't have that many close friends - mind you, that's not so surprising when you consider how few people can appreciate her abilities as a mind-reader. It's not a quality that has the guys beating down her door - well, unless they're vampires or werewolves or the like ...but they're not just supernatural freaks, some of them are friends, even family ...And then along comes Bill: he's tall, he's dark and he's handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a word he's thinking.
