Liberty Street : a novel / by Marshall, Heather(Heather J.),author.;
"From #1 bestselling Canadian author Heather Marshall (Looking for Jane) comes a riveting, page-turning and intertwining story of two women whose destinies are linked over decades. Toronto, 1961: Emily Radcliffe works as an editorial assistant at Chatelaine magazine, surrounded by a group of the best women journalists in the country, whose articles tackle the controversial topics no other women's publication dares to touch. When a bombshell letter lands on Emily's desk from an inmate at the notorious Mercer Women's Prison, Emily sees a scoop that could launch her career as a real, hard-boiled journalist like the colleagues she admires. After convincing her boss to let her cover the story, Emily goes undercover in the prison to learn whether the shocking claims in the inmate's letter are true. But what she doesn't know is that getting into the prison will turn out to be the easy part; it's getting back out that will be difficult. Huron County, 1996: Rachel Jamieson spends her days working at a small-town cemetery, alone amid the peace and quiet. As an anxious and introverted person, the solitude of the job suits her just fine. But when one of her staff stumbles across an unmarked grave containing the remains of a woman in an old prison uniform, Rachel's work takes a sinister turn. While she assists the police in uncovering the woman's identity and how she came to be buried in a secret unmarked grave, trauma from Rachel's past threatens to surface from where she's kept it carefully hidden. Inspired by the real-life Toronto women's prison that was the first of its kind in Canada, as well as true figures and events, Liberty Street vividly brings to life the historic treatment of mentally ill and incarcerated women while shining a light on the dark realities of various 'prisons' that hold women captive."--

Includes bibliographical references."A highly anticipated, rediscovered collection from Viktor Frankl, published for the first time in the United States, exploring freedom, responsibility, and how we can draw meaning from the temporary nature of our lives. The Library of Congress lists Man's Search for Meaning as one of the ten most influential books in history. Scientists and artists, politicians and celebrities regularly cite Frankl as one of the most important authors every person should read. Now, there is another book for his devoted fans to add to their collections. Published here for the first time in the United States, Embracing Hope continues Frankl's enduring life's work and provides even more lessons for those searching for meaning and purpose. It's made up of four distinct pieces from Frankl on different themes-all uniting around the idea that we should remain open to life even when we have been subjected to appalling injustice, and even when we are faced with our own mortality and the brief nature of our lives. At a time of global suffering where so many are searching for hope and meaning, Frankl's work seems more relevant and more important than ever. Whether you're a devoted follower of Frankl's work or a newcomer seeking to enrich your understanding of life's purpose, this book promises a captivating journey that will leave you pondering its teachings long after you've turned the final page."--
