Dawson Scott is a well-respected journalist recently returned from Afghanistan. Haunted by everything he experienced, he's privately suffering from battle fatigue which is a threat to every aspect of his life. But then he gets a call from a source within the FBI. A new development has come to light in a story that began 40 years ago. It could be the BIG story of Dawson's career--one in which he has a vested interest.

Soon, Dawson is covering the disappearance and presumed murder of former Marine Jeremy Wesson, the biological son of the pair of terrorists who remain on the FBI's Most Wanted list. As Dawson delves into the story, he finds himself developing feelings for Wesson's ex-wife, Amelia, and her two young sons. But when Amelia's nanny turns up dead, the case takes a stunning new turn, with Dawson himself becoming a suspect. Haunted by his own demons, Dawson takes up the chase for the notorious outlaws. . .and the secret, startling truth about himself.

In her best-selling debut, Commencement, J. Courtney Sullivan explored the complicated and contradictory landscape of female friendship. Now, in her highly anticipated second novel, Sullivan takes us into even richer territory, introducing four unforgettable women who have nothing in common but the fact that, like it or not, they’re family.

For the Kellehers, Maine isIn her best-selling debut, Commencement, J. Courtney Sullivan explored the complicated and contradictory landscape of female friendship. Now, in her highly anticipated second novel, Sullivan takes us into even richer territory, introducing four unforgettable women who have nothing in common but the fact that, like it or not, they’re family.
For the Kellehers, Maine is a place where children run in packs, showers are taken outdoors, and old Irish songs are sung around a piano. Their beachfront property, won on a barroom bet after the war, sits on three acres of sand and pine nestled between stretches of rocky coast, with one tree bearing the initials “A.H.” At the cottage, built by Kelleher hands, cocktail hour follows morning mass, nosy grandchildren snoop in drawers, and decades-old grudges simmer beneath the surface.
As three generations of Kelleher women descend on the property one summer, each brings her own hopes and fears. Maggie is thirty-two and pregnant, waiting for the perfect moment to tell her imperfect boyfriend the news; Ann Marie, a Kelleher by marriage, is channeling her domestic frustration into a dollhouse obsession and an ill-advised crush; Kathleen, the black sheep, never wanted to set foot in the cottage again; and Alice, the matriarch at the center of it all, would trade every floorboard for a chance to undo the events of one night, long ago.
By turns wickedly funny and achingly sad, Maine unveils the sibling rivalry, alcoholism, social climbing, and Catholic guilt at the center of one family, along with the abiding, often irrational love that keeps them coming back, every summer, to Maine and to each other.

chez Sophie ce matin

LÉGO une compagnie fiable. Le 22 décembre je reçois cette boite qui devait contenir deux ''Microworld'' elle semble avoir été ouverte et refermée avec du tape, j'avais commandé The Village pour Zachary et The Nether pour Mathieu -  Le Village n'était plus dans la boite ... disparu. Dilemne!! Mathieu a eu son  Microworld et Zachary..........j'ai téléphone à la compagnie Légo à Toronto ... vraiment formidable de communiquer  avec des gens aimables, en réalité c'était ma parole contre le transporteur, et mardi le 14 janvier j'ai  reçu  la boite manquante, naturellement sans frais et Zachary a finalement eu son cadeau de Noël .

Mercredi 15 janvier 2014 à 19 h 30 - La première pleine Lune de l’année éclairera le ciel le 15 janvier, dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Elle est aussi connue sous le nom de Lune des loups.
La légende veut qu’en janvier, alors que le froid glacial et la neige abondante sévissaient, des meutes de loups hurlaient en rôdant autour des villages amérindiens à la recherche de nourriture, difficile à trouver à cette période de l’année.
De plus, la pleine Lune de janvier peut difficilement être observée sans ressentir la morsure du froid!
Il s’agit également d’une «micro Lune», puisque la pleine Lune de janvier est celle qui nous apparaît la plus petite du fait qu’elle se trouve loin de la Terre.

Le Village est maintenant completé

 

C'est la période des crampons, les entrées sont glacées, la pluie délave sable...et ça recommence!
