"Rory Sullivan has always grown up in her sisters' shadows. But this summer, she's determined to make some changes. Rekindling her teenage friendship with Pyrite Falls's prodigal son, Gideon Payne, feels like a good start.

Decorated army hero Gideon's return has sent the local community into parade-planning overdrive. Except Gideon isn't the all-around golden boy who left. His life imploded in the same explosion that caused his honorable discharge from the army -- he lost his career, his marriage and he damn near lost himself. Gideon knows Rory is far too innocent for someone as damaged as him. But the scorching hunger between them is irresistible ... All he can offer is something temporary, unless Rory can make Gideon see he's capable of giving her everything she needs..."--Back cover.

This red line goes straight to your heart : a memoir in halves / by Anand, Madhur,1971-author.;
"We begin with a man off balance: one in one thousand, the only child in town whose polio leads to partial paralysis. We meet his future wife, chanting Hai Rams for Gandhiji and choosing education over marriage. On one side of the line that divides this book, we follow them as their homeland splits in two and they are drawn together, moving to Canada and raising their children in mining towns and in crowded city apartments. And when we turn the book over, we find the daughter's tale--we see how the rupture of Partition, the asymmetry of a father's leg, the virus of a mother's rage, makes its way to the next generation. Told through the lenses of biology, physics, history and poetry, this is a memoir that defies form and convention to immerse the reader in the feeling of what remains when we've heard as much of the truth as our families will allow, and we're left to search for ourselves among the pieces they've carried with them." --Amazon.ca.
