Winter S Edge

Set in San Francisco in the 1970s, Winter's Edge is an acclaimed working-class feminist novel.

Bill Simmons is a man in the western tradition who, after losing his first wife to death, has an opportunity to start over and correct the mistakes of his past marriage. Valerie Dobbins is a younger professional who realizes that, in meeting Bill, she is trusting a man for the first time in her life. She sees in Bill a man that has the adventurous spirit she seeks in a relationship. But as much as she is drawn to Bill, she feels conflicted about moving forward as she struggles to overcome a devastating event in her childhood. The Red Mill Series is a trilogy about dating with differences in life, courtship and marriage, and a woman's struggle of trying to fit into another familys life as a new wife and mother. The question that remains to be answered is, "How does suffering fit into Gods will for our lives?" Winter's Edge is the first of an ongoing series about love, God's plan for our life and preparing us through suffering for a future ministry.

Neve Halloran and her daughter have shared a fierce love for the austere beauty of Rhode Island’s South County ever since Neve guided Mickey’s first baby steps along the sandy shore. Now, with Mickey a teenager and Neve’s last hope for happiness with her daughter’s loving but unstable father gone, both will struggle to make a new life together amid the windswept landscape that sustains them. Captivated by a fragile wildlife sanctuary, Mickey will move toward womanhood in the company of a lonely boy who shares her instinctive way with the creatures of the coast. And Neve will find herself drawn to a man who has devoted his life to the sanctuary, but who is unable to share the pain of a recent loss—or reconnect with the father who still bears the scars of World War II. As winter gives way to spring, and spring to summer, a secret will emerge that has lain buried in the depths just offshore for decades, a secret that will galvanize the small seaside community. For the waters bear their own vestige of the past—and their ceaseless rhythms may point the way to hope and new beginnings. Lyrical, luminous, and utterly captivating, The Edge of Winter is Luanne Rice at her most penetrating and insightful, in a moving exploration of the bonds that shape us and set us free.

Saskatchewan is the anchor and epitome of the ‘prairie’ provinces, even though half of the province is covered by boreal forest. The Canadian penchant for dividing this vast country into easily-understood ‘regions’ has reduced the Saskatchewan identity to its southern prairie denominator and has distorted cultural and historical interpretations to favor the prairie south. Forest Prairie Edge is a deep-time investigation of the edge land, or ecotone, between the open prairies and boreal forest region of Saskatchewan. Ecotones are transitions from one landscape to another, where social, economic, and cultural practices of different landscapes are blended. Using place history and edge theory, Massie considers the role and importance of the edge ecotone in building a diverse social and economic past that contradicts traditional “prairie” narratives around settlement, economic development, and culture. She offers a refreshing new perspective that overturns long-held assumptions of the prairies and the Canadian west.
