Josh Crockett, a thirty-three-year-old psychologist and author, travels back home to Melo, Indiana, at the request of his high school best friend, Paul Palato. Having read Josh's book, Living Faith, Paul invites Josh to come for an extended visit and teach the church's youth the concepts found in the book. Because it is the church his father founded and where Josh grew up and because Paul is still one of his closest friends, Josh decides to answer Paul's invitation. Josh involves himself in the lives of several people in Melo, such as Marcy James, who has inherited several businesses in Melo, including the Riverbend Apartments where Josh and Marcy both reside. Their chance meeting and subsequent other meetings grow into a very strong bond of friendship. Desmond Niemeier, the head deacon at the church, believes Josh Crockett is too good to be true. He works to uncover dark secrets from Josh's past and exposes suspicious behavior, such as the hours Josh spends with Marcy since his return back to Melo, Indiana. Josh questions why God allows this to happen. He also struggles with whether his true feelings for Marcy James are love or physical attraction. Josh feels too that God is pulling him in two directions by giving him good opportunities to stay in Melo and equally noble motives to return to his home and practice in Corona, Florida. How will he know which is God's will? What is to become of Marcy and Josh?

Goose Lane Editions joins forces with the Military and Strategic Studies Program at the University of New Brunswick in an exciting new initiative. As part of the New Brunswick Military Heritage Project, a series of lively illustrated books will showcase the province's military past. Written by historians and military personnel, they will explore subjects ranging from New Brunswick's pivotal role in the American Revolution to one veteran's account of caring for World War I cavalry horses. Replete with period drawings, paintings, and photos, as well as archival and contemporary maps, they will also serve as informative guides to important histories sites. For Fall 2003, we are proud to launch the first two books in this exciting new series. Saint John, always an important gateway to Canada, is one of the oldest fortified sites in the country. "Saint John Fortifications, 16307ndash; 1956 traces the history of the port's defences, from Fort La Tour, built in 1632, to the 20th-century installations built as protection from German invasion. The 18th-century Fortress Saint John included old forts and new batteries at Lower Cove and Partridge Island. It was strengthened during all the conflicts that have shaped Canada--wars with France and the United States, the American Civil War, and the two World Wars--with each new defence system incorporating the old. Although the last of the modern installations on Partridge Island was disabled in 1956, many sites still contain substantial reminders of their past strength.
