L'ORO VERDE
by
L.E. Chamberlain
In the quiet hill country
of Italy, Bernardo’s body is discovered propped
up against the statue of St. Francis of Assisi in
the medieval church where for years he served as
altar boy. A red cell phone, presented to local
nun and teacher, Sister Angela, by Montriano Police
Inspector DiMarco, alerts her of the crime. Her
investigative abilities are needed to solve this
perplexing case. Complicated by pressure from the
bishop’s deputy, Father Sergio, who questions the
compatibility of her role as part-time police detective
with her teaching vocation, the nun struggles to
understand the victim’s relationship to the powerful
families involved in the production of l’oro verde,
the region’s famous olive oil; its green gold. Sister
Angela and the inspector learn that young Bernardo
was not who he seemed to be.
Power, deception, love,
and the darkest of family secrets rock the small
village of Montriano, and the olive orchards and
vineyards that cloak the landscape around it.

LETY'S GIFT
BY
Coralie Hughes
Jensen
Sophie Hawkins has a unique
gift. Born illegitimately in a poor fishing village
in the 1950s, she is now set to be consecrated the
first woman Anglican bishop in Newfoundland's Eastern
Diocese. Sophie's mother, Lety, died when Sophie
was too young to remember her. As a result, the
little girl was left to be raised by a cruel grandmother,
an abusive minister, and the sadistic overseers
of a prison-like orphanage.
Under the pressures of a
difficult adolescence, her psychic talents emerge
not as a blessing, but a curse that leads to a breakdown.
Sophie's survival depends on learning to control
her abilities and to confront other traumatic events
from her childhood. She turns to psychiatrist Griffon
Fairbourne who helps her make sense of her powers
and inspires her to enter the priesthood.
Along with classmate Noah
Lodge, Sophie is sent to isolated western Newfoundland
as a hospital chaplain, where her gift reemerges
when she senses danger posed by recent activity
on the hospital's fourth floor that decades earlier
housed an insane asylum. Lety's Gift is a mystery,
a love story, and above all a tale of triumph.

PASSUP
POINT
BY
Coralie Hughes
Jensen
Everyone has secrets...
Jonah Devlin arrives in an
isolated fishing village in Labrador to serve as pastor
of a community church that the Anglicans had abandoned
years earlier. He meets Gabrielle Pye, a young waitress
struggling to raise her two brothers in the depressed
economy of maritime Canada. When the Trans Labrador
Highway opens the tiny town to the outside world,
Gabrielle's crime of forgery, committed when she was
just thirteen, makes her a target of the Canadian
Police.
Just as Devlin attempts to
help her, reports of his troubled past reach Passup.
Newspaper stories allege that as a Catholic priest
in the States he had committed unspeakable crimes,
forcing him to defend his position to his new community.
While Devlin grapples to make sense of Catholic doctrine
and endeavors to apply it to his new congregation,
the often quirky citizens of Passup and the surrounding
villages educate him on the real purpose of faith. |
