The Winds of Morning by Gifford MacShane
1848: the third year the potato crop failed in Ireland. The Protestant landlords have absconded back to Britain, leaving the Catholic peasants to fend for themselves, while the English feast on the massive amounts of Irish food they’re importing every day.
With two younger brothers to feed, Molly O’Brien takes her father’s place on the road gang, building a road that runs from her tiny village to the river and no farther. Yet fifteen hours of labor a day will not garner enough wages to buy food for her family.
She is beyond despair. Beyond prayer. And so far beyond the tenets of her childhood, she has decided to offer her body to the first man with the price of a loaf of bread.
But when a stranger takes her hand, he will change Molly’s life in ways she could never have imagined.

The Bully by Wiley K. March
Never safe for a moment, she learns from too young and tender an age, that she is all alone in a cruel and hostile world, where even those who were meant to be her protectors are her enemies. Sold, beat down, and abandoned, a young girl struggles to survive against all odds, struggles to find balance and peace between anger and indignation.
The reader encounters Carissa Locke near the end point of her eighteen year journey as she lay in a bloody heap recalling the shattered life that led her down a path from which there may not be a way to redemption. The fierce defiance and violent temper that has saved her life again and again, may well prove to be her undoing during a police investigation that will decide whether she is to be charged with the attempted murder of her lifelong friend Danielle.
While Carissa is a hard person, she is not a difficult person for which to find empathy. Many difficult and painful choices brought her to the this moment in her life and it seems to have been the inevitable outcome. But as the story twists through her wiles, manipulations and brutal acts of violence, one comes to understand and embrace the wounded child within who was fighting desperately for the right to live, to be heard, to be loved. She is also a soul who stands up, who fights back for others who are abused like her, but is she helping them, or is she manipulating them to meet her own ends? Is she so different from those she has despised, whose demise she has plotted in one way or another?
Time cut far too short with those who had loved her, helped her, but were always ripped away from her too soon. But did they leave behind enough love, enough lessons to save her from a cruel destiny that seems bent on her death before she even gets a chance to live?
In search of deliverance, for forgiveness, desperate to believe she is a person worth saving, or that there is anything of her at all that is more than a war child. Carissa’s soul searching, her introspection, leading us back to where we found her, self pity seeping away with the realization that the rage and loathing she had visited upon the world, the weapons that had saved her life would be the very ones that led her to this precipice of self-destruction.
As her best friend lay dying, Carissa will do anything to heal the wound of the fight that has ruined their friendship and may ultimately cost Danielle her life and Carissa her freedom. In her grief over what she has done, Carissa implores Danielle’s forgiveness, learning that Danielle perfect veneer has been a lie all these years, she has soul-shattering secrets of her own. Carissa has only just begun the inner battle against the Bully she has become. She has realized the most dangerous enemy any of us will ever face is ourselves.

About Featured Book: Beyond the Song by Carol Selick
Beyond the Song is an autobiographical novel based on the author’s coming of age in the ‘sixties and early ‘seventies. A singer-songwriter like her alter-ego Carol Marks, Carol Selick begins each chapter with lyrics she wrote and still performs today. Taken together, the songs introduce the themes of her story and trace the development of her character as she rebels against her strict suburban upbringing to join the counter-culture in hopes of fulfilling her dream of making it in the music business.
The narrator relates her tale in a warm, vulnerable, and irrepressibly zany voice as Carol goes to school in Washington DC, drops out to take a pilgrimage to Berkeley, and eventually winds up living in New York in pursuit of making it in the music business. Torn between romance and career, she continually wavers.
Her quest for freedom lands her in a series of dangerous situations and narrow escapes: she hitchhikes in California at the time of the Manson murders, attends anti-war demonstrations that turn violent, and is nearly arrested when her boyfriend is nabbed in a drug raid.
Along the way, the narrator also meets two important guides who help her sort her priorities, take herself seriously, and develop her considerable talents: Rose, a pioneering black woman songwriter based on hall-of-famer Rose Marie McCoy, Carol’s real-life mentor; and Bruce Pasternak, a fictionalized psychoanalyst who helps her establish the self-assurance to stand on her own two feet at a time when female singer-songwriters had few role models. All inform the heroine’s lyrics and narrative voice as she gradually learns to believe in herself, discipline her talent, and turn her heartbreak into song.
