A Michigan woman was blind and now she can see, after being
touched by a young man who calls himself Juvenal. Maybe it was just
coincidence, but Bill Hill--who used to run the spectacular
Uni-Faith Ministry in Dalton, Georgia, and now sells RVs--can see
dollar signs when he looks at this kid with the magic "touch." The
trouble is that others see them also, including a wacko
fundamentalist fascist with his own private army of the faithful
and an assortment of media leeches. But everyone who's looking to
put the touch on the healer is in for a big surprise--because
Juvenal's got a trick or two up his sleeve that nobody sees
coming.
Fifty-something librarian Shona is a proud former pupil of the
Marcia Blaine School for Girls, but has a deep loathing for The
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which she thinks gives her alma mater a
bad name. Impeccably educated and an accomplished martial artist,
linguist and musician, Shona is selected by Marcia Blaine herself
to travel back in time for a crucial mission involving Macbeth, the
Weird Sisters and a black cat. Unsure which version of history
she's in, Shona tries to figure out who she's here to save. But
between playing the Fool and being turned into a mouse, things
don't always go her way. Shona's expertise in martial arts is put
to the test as family tensions rise and fingers are pointed for
murder. Can Shona unravel the mystery in time to complete her
mission? Never underestimate a librarian!

this wise and gentle man? As she questions her fellow students and
other acquaintances of the Zen master, it becomes clear that
Garson-roshi has been keeping secrets from Darcy. What happened
while he was living in Japan? And where does he disappear to on the
last Wednesday of every month? Distracted by the possibility of her

unprepared when the case takes a shocking twist .
