“A riveting wilderness suspense novel by a novelist at the height of her powers” (Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Candy House), Heartwood takes you on a gripping journey as a search and rescue team race against time when an experienced hiker mysteriously disappears on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. In the heart of the Maine woods, an experienced Appalachian Trail hiker goes missing. She is forty-two-year-old Valerie Gillis, who has vanished 200 miles from her final destination. Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her thoughts into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping. At the heart of the investigation is Beverly, the determined Maine State Game Warden tasked with finding Valerie, who leads the search on the ground. Meanwhile, Lena, a seventy-six-year-old birdwatcher in a Connecticut retirement community, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Roving between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie’s disappearance may not be accidental. Heartwood is a “gem of a thousand facets—suspenseful, transporting, tender, and ultimately soul-mending,” (Megan Majumdar, New York Times bestselling author of A Burning) that tells the story of a lost hiker’s odyssey and is a moving rendering of each character’s interior journey. The mystery inspires larger questions about the many ways in which we get lost, and how we are found. At its core, Heartwood is a redemptive novel, written with both enormous literary ambition and love.

A unique and validating look at the tension you feel between disillusionment and a desire for truth, Searching for Enough helps you see your doubt not as an emotion to fear but as an invitation to be followed. Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I' m not enough, and I' m never going to be. And I know I' m not supposed to say this, but God' s not enough for me either." Whether or not we attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live. We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious. In Searching for Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple history's most notorious skeptic. Like Thomas, we are caught between two unsatisfying We want to believe in God but can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal struggles. But what if there's a better story than shame? What if there's redemption so complete that there's nothing left to hide? What if there is a God who can heal your resentments, fears, and loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole ? From a place of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the presence of the living God. Whether you are a distant skeptic, an involved doubter, or a busy but bored Christian, Searching for Enough invites you to find enough in a God who offers the only promises that never disappoint.

Sinds ze zich laat leiden door haar intuïtie lijkt alles in het leven van Jules Hesseling beter te gaan.

Raffael, der Selbstbewusste mit dem entwaffnenden Lächeln, und Moritz, der Bumerang in Raffaels Hand: Seit ihrer ersten Begegnung als Kinder sind sie unzertrennlich, Raffael geht voran, Moritz folgt. Moritz und seine Mutter Marie sind Zugezogene in dem einsamen Bergdorf, über die Freundschaft der beiden sollte Marie sich eigentlich freuen. Doch sie erkennt das Zerstörerische, das hinter Raffaels stahlblauen Augen lauert. Als Moritz eines Tages aufgeregt von der Neuen in der Schule berichtet, passiert es: Johanna weitet das Band zwischen Moritz und Raffael zu einem fatalen Dreieck, dessen scharfe Kanten keinen unverwundet lassen. Sechzehn Jahre später hat die Vergangenheit die drei plötzlich wieder im Griff, und alles, was so lange ungesagt war, bricht sich Bahn – mit unberechenbarer Wucht. Mareike Fallwickl erzählt von Schatten und Licht, Verzweiflung und Sehnsucht, Verrat und Vergebung. Ihr packendes Debüt bringt alle Facetten der Freundschaft zum Leuchten, die Leidenschaft, die Sanftheit – und die Liebe, in ihrer heilsamen, aber auch funkelnd grausamen Pracht.
