A secret diary. Love lost. And love found…
Greece, 1969. Reeling from a devastating loss, free-spirited Elin Morgan escapes to a sun-drenched Greek island. She seeks shelter among the blue painted shutters, bobbing fishing boats and lanes lined with olive trees.

Up the hill from the taverna where she’s staying, Elin rekindles her love of painting at a tiny art studio and, with the help of handsome wood-carver Stelios, unlocks hidden passions.

But their carefree summer isn’t to last. Elin leaves, taking with her a shocking secret that will span decades.

Wales, 1991. Art student Alexandra is unmoored by the death of her beloved mother Elin. She doesn’t know what to do when she learns she’s been left a beautiful old diary.

Elin’s journal tells of the summer she spent on a Greek island in 1969 and gives Alexandra her blessing to find out the truth about her past.

With just an old diary to guide her, she seeks the answers to long-buried secrets. And as Alexandra begins to see the world through her young mother’s eyes, she realizes that some love stories have no ending…

Proto thought he’d saved the world and found true love. Or at least, he’d achieved some sort of ending, happy or otherwise.

So when he wakes up in his bed, right where he’d gone to sleep before arriving at Somnus’ Palace, it’s highly disconcerting. “It really was a dream!” he muses sadly.

But, for better or for worse, things are never that simple for Proto. He finds out that what he did back at Somnus’ Palace really was quite important. Overall, he did a good job there as a visitor of dreams, with one exception.

Alas, because of that one exception, the world is going to end in a thousand years.

Proto already saved the world. Now, he needs to save the future. And the key, it turns out, is his visit to Mercune’s dream.

He didn’t get it quite right the first time. Now, he’s got another chance. Will he be able to figure out what he needs to do in Mercune’s dream, in the limited time he has… ?

Two priests. One vast, untamed land. A lifelong mission of service and faith.
In Death Comes for the Archbishop, Willa Cather paints a luminous portrait of the American Southwest in the mid-19th century, following the lives of Bishop Jean Marie Latour and his loyal friend Father Joseph Vaillant. Sent from France to establish a diocese in New Mexico, they face a landscape of deserts, mountains, and diverse cultures — Mexican, Native American, and Anglo — each with its own challenges and beauty.

Through a series of interwoven episodes rather than a traditional plot, Cather captures the quiet heroism of their work, the strength of their friendship, and the profound connection between spirituality and the land. Her prose, rich in imagery and restraint, turns history into a timeless meditation on faith, perseverance, and cultural understanding.
