In Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Night Blooming, Saint-Germain, summoned to the Court of Karl-lo-Magne, is given a mistress who leaves him for the King. Soon Saint-Germain is given the task of escorting the albino stigmatic, Gynethe Mehaut, to Rome, during which time they become lovers. In Rome, Olivia takes Gynethe Mehaut under her wing, but neither she nor Saint-Germain can save her once an ambitious Bishop goes to work on her, ordering her to become an anchorite. Following Karl-lo-Magne's coronation on Christmas day, 800, Saint-Germain soon has to leave Franksland.

But I see that this intimacy, this talking about my own interior, puts you off. The fact that I've abandoned my cigars for a dark burl pipe and carry the tobacco in a square of white crumpled paper, as he did, instead of a pouch. That I peruse used book shops for old French paperbacks whose unread pages must be slit apart. François Raspail's Annuare de la Sant, for example, lies at this very moment on my bedside table. I feel you're a good enough friend that I can tell you that I've started--very two weeks or so--to visit a prostitute. And I don't shun disease. One must learn to suffer without complaint and abide pain without reluctance. It is thus--from pain--that pearls are born, a product of the oyster's sickness. It was Van Gogh who taught me all this, my friend, and another lesson too: one pays for even the smallest success. Each of the stories in Night-Blooming Cereus is set in a different place and time, yet they all deal with the same underlying theme: how the imagination, in its infinite variety, seeks to transcend external events. A small Jewish boy's life during the Nazi era grows rich with the sounds and sights of the Arabian Desert when he finds an aged copy of Travels in Arabia Deserta in an Amsterdam cellar. An effete and scholarly collector begins to imitate Van Gogh, the painter he worships. An old woman's life is shaped by remembrance as she lies in her hospital bed and recounts a voyage through the Greek Islands during World War II. A reporter remembers his part in a college rape as he interviews a Serbian general being held for war crimes in a Dutch prison. A housekeeper embroiders her deepest yearnings into the laundry of the residents of a rooming house. K. A. Longstreet's stories are appealing and varied. This collection is unusual in many ways, not the least of which is its breadth. Each story exhibits a dexterous use of detail, often historically based, in providing a landscape for the characters' experiences and musings.

Amber-Rose Collier had a rough childhood, and if it were not for her faith, the chains of addiction that held her parents would bind her too. She found Jesus at an early age and was blessed to be adopted by Christian parents. They take her away from the orphanage in the impoverished coal-mining town where she was born and her mother was killed during one of her father's drunken rages. Amber loves her new family but is without her older sister and younger brother, who had been adopted separately. Then, just one year after her older sister found her, she is blinded in an accident. Her sister, filled with guilt, stays out of her life. Amber pushes away her fiance, convinced it would be unfair to marry him. With the help of the Braille Institute, she sees herself in a new light and decides to marry Mason Powell. They have children, even though his mother is against it. She would endure other trials, which only served to strengthen her faith. She and her daughter, Rae, become beacons of hope in their community. Night Blooming Jasmine is the first book in the Shadow of the Steeples series. "Lisa Keck's debut novel, Night Blooming Jasmine, is hauntingly sweet, much like its title. From the first page until the last, Keck carries her readers along on a painful but positive journey, one that brings victory from ashes and triumph from heartache. I look forward to more offerings from this talented author " -Kathi Macias (www.kathimacias.com), multi-award-winning author of forty books, including Golden Scrolls 2011 Novel of the Year, Red Ink

The night-blooming cereus is a gangly, ugly plant, justifying its existence by producing an annual blossom of ethereal beauty and scent that lasts only one night. Like the flower, Garnet Grant exists in a grim, narrow world, bound by her mother's whims and grudges and her family's hardscrabble survival in rural Kentucky over a century ago. Garnet has dreams, though, and hopes, and the determination to bloom however she can.

Capello (English, University of Rhode Island) combines the bilingual journals of her grandfather, her mother's poetry, Sicilian folklore, and dreamwork with her own reminiscences of growing up in an immigrant family in a working-class suburb of Philadelphia. She explores the contradictions of her father's rage and gardening, and her mother's poetry and agoraphobia. As a lesbian who has entered the middle class, she celebrates the subversive desire in her family's responses to the forces shaping their lives. No index.

Retired florist Theo Bloomer goes to Israel to rescue his niece from terrorists in this engrossing mystery. On the shores of the Dead Sea, Dorrie Caldicott is coming into bloom. A spoiled graduate of the finest prep schools on the Atlantic Seaboard, she went AWOL during a tour of Israel and put down roots in a kibbutz. Her mother simply won’t stand for this kind of behavior, and it falls to Dorrie’s uncle Theo Bloomer, a retired florist who’s as meek as a daffodil, to bring the girl home. But in the sands of Israel, this gentle flower will be forced to take root or die. Theo has hardly arrived at the settlement when a pair of murders makes it unlikely he and his niece will ever make it home. Under threat by terrorists, the police, and the attentions of a few dozen intellectual farmers, Theo and Dorrie must find the killers if they wish to escape the Holy Land alive. Anyone who has envied Nero Wolfe’s orchid collection will find himself right at home with Theo Bloomer, a globetrotting florist who—like Rex Stout’s most famous detective—would prefer to be at home with his plants. Readers won’t want to miss joining Theo in this unique series by Joan Hess, one of the funniest mystery novelists on the planet. The Night-Blooming Cereus is the 1st book in the Theo Bloomer Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
