Londra, settembre 1914. "Le mie mani non tremano mai. Sono una chirurga, ma alle donne non è consentito operare. Men che meno a me: madre ma non moglie, sono di origine italiana e pago anche il prezzo dell’indecisione della mia terra natia in questa guerra che già miete vite su vite. Quando una notte ricevo una visita inattesa, comprendo di non rispondere soltanto a me stessa. Il destino di mia figlia, e forse delle ambizioni di tante altre donne, dipende anche da me."

A northern tale, narrated with a voice that turns quiet moments into pure poetry. The Salt Between Us-A Homecoming to the Quay Wall is a quiet, powerful novel about returning home, facing the past, and the salt, wind that never forgets. When she comes back to the Quay Wall after decades away, the summer is blistering so hot the asphalt shimmers and the air holds itself still. Only the wind by the water remains unchanged: cool, salty, and rough, speaking in the same fierce language it once used on her childhood skin. In that first gust, she sees the girl she used to be. The one from 1985.

Meet Underground Angel Laura Haviland. Her story reminds us that one person can make a profound difference for the good. She singlehandedly stood for the freedom of slaves as an abolitionist, humanitarian, and Underground Railroad conductor close to two centuries ago. The story of Laura’s life shows us that we can each become a change agent of compassion in a world that continues to oppress others because of their race, religion, or ethnicity. It inspires us to think and act “outside the box” in a divided country.

I wasn’t born an outlaw. I was trained into one. Cale and I were just kids when the Silver Ghosts taught us how to pick a pocket, pull a trigger, and lie with a straight face. By the time we killed Silas Quinn defending Uncle Will, innocence wasn’t even a word in my vocabulary. So I ran. San Francisco was supposed to be my fresh start—new name, new life, no blood on my boots. Katherine Thorne, respectable lady. That lasted about five minutes. Then Evander Poe showed up, smooth as whiskey and twice as dangerous, and I went and did the stupid thing—I fell for him.
