Window shopping for God : a comedian's search for meaning / by Kimmett, Deborah(Deborah Ann),author.;
"Window Shopping for God is the story of Kimmett's lifelong flip through the catalogue of beliefs -- from her teen years, when a near-death experience gave her a new, less Catholic perspective, to her struggles with addiction and mental health that led her in and out of faith -- and her search, as a woman in her sixties, for meaning that could finally plant her on firmer ground. Unflinchingly honest and wildly funny, Kimmett's writing takes us down the serpentine routes we travel in our search for certainty, and the more familiar paths that bring us back to ourselves."-- Provided by publisher.

The scientist and the psychic : a son's exploration of his mother's gift / by Smith, Christian,1969-author.;
"The captivating story of a neuroscientist's life with his famous psychic mother and his extraordinary investigation into the science of the paranormal. Christian Smith realized his mother was different in the autumn of 1977 when he was eight years old. Before then, he'd witnessed seances at home and the kids at school sometimes teased him about his mom being a witch--so he sensed that his life wasn't typical. But it wasn't until he was backstage at Massey Hall in Toronto, watching from behind a curtain as Geraldine commanded an audience of 2,000 with her extrasensory readings, that he understood she was special. An only child to a single parent, in subsequent years he would assume the role of the quiet observer, while Geraldine guided a live CBC broadcast of a seance; made startling and consistently accurate predictions; and eventually offered her services to the parents of murder victims in LA. Over time, the high profile and emotionally depleting work affected Geraldine's health and relationships--addiction took over her life, and her son pulled away. Fast forward to the present day: Christian is a molecular biologist at the Hospital for Sick Children, and Geraldine is retired and in poor health. They are closer than they've ever been, and now he gives us the story of her undeniable perceptual abilities and pioneering work as a psychic--and endeavours to make scientific sense of it. Weaving together the strands of a complicated mother-son relationship with research into the paranormal, The Scientist and the Psychic is a fascinating, one-of-a-kind true story of belief, skepticism and familial love."--

A noise downstairs : a novel / by Barclay, Linwood,author.;
"The internationally bestselling author of No time for goodbye returns with a haunting psychological thriller that blends the twists and chills of Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe with the driving suspense of Dennis Lehane and Harlan Coben, in which a man hears sounds that quite possibly emanate from the dead. Paul Davis is hearing some very strange noises in the night. He hears the clickety-click of a manual typewriter--as if someone is vigorously tapping the keys. The eerie sounds began soon after his wife, Charlotte, bought him a classic antique Underwood. But only Paul can hear the noise coming from downstairs; Charlotte doesn't hear anything unusual. Is Paul losing his mind? Maybe. Or is something really there? Eight months ago, he stumbled upon Connecticut's infamous "Apology Killer"--a psychopath who forced his victims to typewrite personal apologies to him before he cut their throats--disposing of two mutilated bodies on Milford's Post Road. Most shocking of all, the killer was his colleague, someone he thought he knew. Paul's been seeing a therapist for months to recover from the nearly fatal encounter, but his nerves and short-term memory have suffered since the traumatic encounter. There's only one way to learn if the noises are real or a figment of his hyper-imagination. One night, Paul rolls a sheet of paper into the machine. The next morning, when he checks the page, there is a chilling message: "We typed our apologies like he asked but he killed us anyway." As he desperately searches to find a rational explanation for the note and the noises, Paul slowly begins to consider the unthinkable: The message is authentic, and the women butchered by his colleague are reaching out to him from beyond the grave."--
