"We are kindred spirits Your book is what my soul has been longing for... peace I love your writing. Reading "At the End of the Ferry" was a delightful glimpse into a world most of us only dream of. My mind truly escaped from the busyness and stress of this life.

Katie Baker Meteorologist /Reporter CBS 5 News Phoenix, Arizona mother of 3 young children Susan Walters's adventurous "road less traveled" has not been extreme, but it has been unique. During her childhood, she discovered faith and nature in the wilderness that served as her backyard. Just over the fence, Susan learned to machete her way thru the bushes and wild to find what so few today take time to explore-a yard with few limits and without peers. From that simple beginning, her love for nature and all its trimmings was born. Later she progressed to a greater field of nature as she and her husband spent nearly a decade living and exploring the great outdoors of the High Sierras. As work opportunities increased the couple chose to follow a dream rather than a career path. That dream led them to a northwest lifestyle that typically only existed in the pages of history books; a love of the land, a gutsy pioneer spirit, a new found connection between the Creator and His creation. This world was found at The End of the Ferry, a tale of one woman's life for one year.

A desperate woman. An irresistible invitation. An escalating nightmare of secrets, lies, and murder. Bree’s new home is luxurious and private, with a fancy Beverly Hills address. What a shame it’s not hers. Widowed, penniless, living in her car, and out of options, she’s climbed the fence and crashed in the pool house. All she wants is a good night’s sleep. But when Sophie, the absentee owner, finds her, she gets a whole lot more. Sophie invites Bree back for a party. When it winds down, Bree can’t resist sneaking upstairs to sleep in a real bed. But the next morning, she wakes to find Sophie’s dead body floating in the pool. As the resident vagabond, she’s both the only witness and the prime murder suspect. Bree knows she shouldn’t run, but her husband’s death was mysterious, too. If she’s going to clear her name, she’s going to have to work fast. Because the killer is still out there, and she’s next.

It all starts with a promise from a stranger: We'll take care of everything. Holly Kendrick's husband is dead. Holly saw it all. In one violent moment, a hit-and-run accident turns Holly's life upside down. Then a fixer for the high-powered guilty party approaches Holly with an offer she is in no position to refuse. Holly and her daughter, Savannah, will want for nothing, beginning with a luxury dream house-all for the price of their silence. But when their sudden appearance in privileged Calabasas, California, piques the curiosity of neighbors, the price becomes greater than they imagined. Because Holly and Savannah aren't the only ones in the neighborhood with something to hide. Told from alternating points of view, Good as Dead draws together an unlikely group of people bound to one another by a crime, a cover-up, and compounding deceptions. As carefully constructed lives begin to crumble, how far will everyone be willing to go to bury the truth and protect the people they love?

'Emilia Pardo Bazan (1851-1921) is without a doubt the most prolific and influential woman writer of late-nineteenth-century Spain,' write the editors of this volume. Her writings - novels, novella, short stories, essays, plays, travel writing, cookbooks - cover topics from science and technology to fashion and gender equality. In a literary style characterized by brilliance, they contend with the critical issues of her time and are compelling to teach today. Part 1, 'Materials', provides biographical and critical resources, an overview of Pardo Bazan's vast oeuvre, and a literary-historical timeline. It also reviews secondary sources, editions and translated, and digital resources. The essays in part 2, 'Approaches', explore Pardo-Bazan's engagement with contemporary literary movements, feminism and gender, nation and the late Spanish empire, Spanish and Galician identities, and nineteenth-century scientific and medical discourses. Film adaptations and translations of her works are also addressed. Instructors of courses on world literature, nineteenth-century literature, gender studies and Spanish-language courses will find the volume invaluable.
