The two true life stories contained in Tenacity span decades -- and two worlds, Australia and Britain. Told through the painful words of mothers Julie Rose and Marilyn Cowell (as recorded by her daughters, Michelle and Sarah), this compelling read has no sugar coating as it takes you through Julie's and Marilyn's struggle to get their sons off drugs ? and the tragedies that ensue. These stories highlight the harrowing fact that addiction can happen to anyone and can strike even the best of families. Powerful and hard hitting, this must read serves as an information and education tool for both young people and parents, a lesson not to be ignored.
Caitlin Galway's Bonavere Howl is Bayou Gothic, filled with beautiful and atmospheric writing. --Alix Hawley, author of All True Not A Lie In It, Giller-longlisted and Amazon.ca First Novel Award book In true Southern Gothic tradition, Caitlin Galway manages to both unnerve and enchant, cloaking the reader in the perilous sticky heat of the Bayou. This gorgeously layered tale, the story of two mesmeric sisters--one who disappears, and the brave, audacious Bonnie who goes in search of her--haunted me for days. --Carolyn Smart, author of Hooked [A]n astonishing debut novel. This story's lush world, pulsing through ghostly spaces, will hook you. The sheer layered sensuousness of Galway's story will ? make it difficult to put down this book's haunted swamp-world of family secrets. Galway is an extraordinary writer. Gothic deep south, in the hands of a poet. Totally gorgeous. ?Jeanette Lynes, author of The Factory Voice (which was long-listed for the Giller) and The Small Things that End the World
