Hot Summer Reads to Keep you Cool

Have you looked at our catalogue lately? Whatever you’re interested in reading, we have!

Looking for some fantastic writing featuring love, heartbreak, tossed with a bit of WTF? Try Jo Rousseau’s Tourists in the Country of Love. The books begins with a lovely story of Mom coming home from the hospital. But we’re thrown when one of the heroines is off to wed an inmate. Do we end with a cheating lover? or a stalking protector? She’s got it all!

If you like short stories and looking for more after Rousseau’s – move to the wonderful and wandering tales in How to Throw a Psychic a Surprise Party. Stories filled with empathy, healing, and a bit of magic realism. The Crier takes us to a world where we’ve given up negative emotions, The Healer’s Daughter is a touching look at a little girl’s view of love and illness. The title story tells the story of a mom and daughter facing one of life’s challenging problems.

Tour with us in the country of love

“Moving and often heart-wrenching tales drawn from the depths of human experience.” Kirkus Review

Tourists in The Country of Love

From award winning author Jo Rousseau comes her second book of short fiction. In these beautifully crafted stories, the author creates sensitive and realistic characters who have no passport, no roadmap to the country of love. In “Reading to My Mother,” a family deals with keeping their aging mother at home, questioning whether they can trust their youngest sibling who reappears after years of absence. Is the love of family strong enough to navigate these unfamiliar roads? “Johnsonville” gives us Kathy, a second time bride, on her way to a future husband who will spend his life in prison. Rousseau, in these stories tells us the truth about love…that we are all tourists in the country of love.
