England, 1940: A tear-jerking wartime tale of an orphaned baby who needs a home, and the woman who risks everything to provide it. Fans of Before We Were Yours, Wives of War and Diney Costeloe will be utterly swept away by this heartbreaking - yet beautifully hopeful - World War Two page-turner. With the war raging, Lily has learned not to take life for granted. In a time of such tragedy, every day is a gift. Her husband is a soldier, fighting to save their country, and she prays that she will survive - to one day welcome him home. One sweltering July night, bombs rain down. Lily and her dear friend Ethel, who is nine months pregnant, seek refuge in a shelter. Miraculously, a baby girl is born to the sound of ear-splitting shrieks and explosions in the distance. Once the raid quietens, Lily races into the house to find the newborn a blanket. But then the unthinkable happens, planes thundering right over the rooftops... When Lily rouses, finding herself amongst broken glass and crumbled brick, she is devastated to discover that Ethel has been killed - leaving little Joy behind. With tears rolling down her face, Lily makes a split-second decision. To save the orphaned child, Lily must tell a heartbreaking lie, a secret that she holds close to her chest for years. But when the truth comes out, whose lives will be destroyed? And will she ever be forgiven? Readers absolutely love Shirley Dickson: 'I was gripped from the very first page... It was heartbreaking...

"The uneasy peace between Arra and Destauria is over. Destauria has made the first move. Jaimin, the prince of Arra, is aided by Elaina as he flees the assault. Although she appears to be a simple farm girl, Elaina is beautiful and mysterious, and she occupies his every thought. Elaina also can't stop thinking about Jaimin, the handsome young man who fled too soon. Despite not knowing his identity, she finds herself drawn to him. Nastasha, Jaimin's best friend, is hopelessly in love with the young prince. But he is smitten with the farm girl, and Nastasha cares too much about him to interfere. When the threat of invasion becomes imminent, however, these three heroes learn there are far more serious things to worry about than the affairs of the heart. Can the trio work together to unravel the mysteries of the past in time to save their present kingdom?"--Back cover.

It was an accident... That was what the authorities said killed Charlie Kim's parents. And in Charlie's mind, that was how it had to be. An accident meant closure. An accident meant that the driven fifteen-year-old could move on, reassemble his life, and return to the carefully planned future that he had laid out for himself. But then Charlie's memories of his parents suddenly begin to vanish. And suspicions arise, calling the accidental nature of their deaths into question. Charlie can't help but doubt himself and the motives of those around him... Doubt leads to discovery. Charlie uncovers secrets that forever change his life. And thrust him and the group of teens that he is forced to unite-fellow orphans, whose parents have met similar fates-into the center of a secret battle between good and evil... A battle dating back to the war in Heaven. A war that only Charlie and the Orphans can end. But if they hope to stand a chance against the ultimate evil, they must first overcome their own inner demons.

To beat the traffic, rise above it, else you need a miracle. Orphans of the Secret War is a witty, sad, entertaining book narrated by a young "loog-kruenk" boy. An Asian-American child born to a Thai mother and an absent American father. He writes about his growing-up years in a small Thai village during the Secret War that was waged in Laos by the US against the North Vietnamese. In scope and content, the novel is reminiscent of Tom Brown's School Days and Huckleberry Finn, but with a broader world view of events. This is not a children's book, however. As an adjunct to the primary war the US engaged in a little publicized, tactical war against the North Vietnamese in Laos. To help in this effort, Thailand allowed the US to station troops in a number of cities across Thailand, including Udon Thani, in the North. Like a good omen- the rich foreign soldiers came, brining new economic opportunities to this deprived, neglected region of rural Isaan. The author presents, in a simple and entertaining style, his recollections of the life and times of his family during the occupation of Tahaan Falaangs in Udon. More broadly, Bruce portrays the effect of this American military base on the life of impoverished rice farmers in Northeast Thailand. He helps you understand how the presence of the base and the soldiers changed the culture and values of the entire region. Most importantly, Bruce provides the reader with a visceral, empathetic portrait of what happened to the Isaan people once the air base closed and the soldiers returned home. These post-conflict effects are seldom publicized, but they are very real and much longer lasting that the war itself. --
