It was time. Time for the old man to reveal the family secrets hidden for seven decades. Old Grandpop made it clear that knowledge of the secrets came with a burden as he passed his journals to Angelo, his namesake grandson. His grandson accepted the mantel of Pavelli family protector, promising to ensure the family remained protected from an insidious evil. Grandpop Angelo immigrated to America to search for Gus, his missing father. The journals tell the story of a boy growing into manhood, a man remarkably different from the grandfather he thought he knew. The exposed secrets change the grandson's image of his quiet, tired nonagenarian Grandpop. The Italian farm boy's search for his father transformed his life and tested the old saying that blood is thicker than water.

Father and Son is a memoir by poet Edmund Gosse, which he subtitled "a study of two temperaments." The book describes Edmund's early years in a Plymouth Brethren home. His father, Philip Henry Gosse, was an influential, though largely self-taught, invertebrate zoologist and student of marine biology who, after his wife's death, took Edmund to live in Devon. The book focuses on the father's response to the new evolutionary theories, and Edmund's gradual rejection of both his father and his father's fundamentalist religion.

She's never met-but is presently searching for-her birth mother. And the man she loves may, in fact, give up teaching voice, therefore no longer requiring her services. Can she rectify the second and third of these three problems, even though she must live with the first? Also featuring a collection of hilarious voice students with issues of their own, Samantha's Silent Song speaks to those who have made an honest attempt, but failed, at fully realizing their dreams.

NEW ORLEANS, 1919. For nearly a decade, a ruthless killer has prowled the streets of this city, breaking into homes in the middle of the night and hacking people to death with an ax. He leaves few clues. Even his motives are unclear. The police are baffled.

What Fitzgerald is not prepared for are the shocking secrets his investigation will uncover, secrets that stretch to the top levels of the Police Department and City Hall, and reach back decades to the assassination of a legendary police chief and to the murder of Fitzgerald's own father.
