By Winter, Guy2018., CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Call No: SC MYS Fic Win Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Three changelings will come, to shape Scotland; One from the Wayward Sisters, one from the Still Folk, and one from Man… The hale and hearty Tam O’Shanter pays no heed to the prophecies of old. Who cares what a bunch of haggard old crones forewarn, when his favourite pub has an empty seat waiting for him? It isn’t until the actions of a malevolent new coven threaten his own family that Tam is forced to take action. Three wicked witches, led by the beautiful but vile Cutty Sark, plan to make a dreadful sacrifice to change the fate of Scotland and kill Bonnie Prince Charlie, heir to the British throne. Their choice has fallen on Tam’s own son, Wee Tam. When the witches come for Tam’s family, he teams up with a group of boisterous and brave companions to try to break their spell and save Wee Tam from a horrible fate. This swashbuckling yarn takes the Tam O’Shanter of Robert Burns’ poem and gives him a new adventure full of magic, action and the best drink Scotland has to offer. In his quest to save one young boy, Tam may yet save his entire country.

c2007., Viking Canada Call No: Fic Hos Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.
