If you yearn to hold your baby, If your love still burns, If your heart is broken, Or if you want to comfort to someone walking this road, This book is for you. "Your Baby Is Safe" was written for anybody who has loved and lost a little one at any age. The author, Melissa Yuan-Innes, wrote almost half a million words while struggling with her own loss, but distilled them to just these 400 words of love. D. Antonia Truesdale's sculptures captured and transfigured the pain and devotion beyond words. Melissa and D. Antonia humbly present their combined work in hopes that other people's grieving hearts will find some ease. "The words and imagery are wonderful... I hope it provides many people with some comfort and thought." Maggie McVay Lynch, Ed.D.

An escape artist plunges into the icy waters of Montreal's St. Lawrence River, chained and nailed into a coffin-and never breaks free. After they dredge him from the waves, Dr. Hope Sze resuscitates him, saving his life. When he regains consciousness, but not his memory of the event, he hires Hope to deduce who sabotaged his act. Even as she probes the case, and the strange world of magic and illusion, she must confront her own fears of death on the palliative care ward-and tackle the two toothsome men who can't wait for her to choose between them.

When I mention that I work in an emergency room, people usually say, 1. Are you a nurse? 2. Wow. That must be really hard. 3. What's it like? This is what it's like to be an emergency doctor. That teenager puking up two liters of vodka and his stomach lining at triage? Yup. Blood pouring out of a terrified pregnant woman? Call me. And, of course, the patient who no longer has a nosebleed screaming at me across the department, "YOU are the most UNFEELING DOCTOR I have EVER MET " Fun fun fun. Let me peel back the curtain for you. It's not an iron curtain. In the emerg, it's most likely a crummy fabric curtain that too many other people have sneezed on. Come on in.
