Miracle in the Desert: A True Story
I wasn't exactly sure why I didn't want my eight-year-old son to go on the trip to Israel with his mom. I told myself it was because that part of the world just never seemed safe to me. But I reluctantly gave my permission and he left on a ten day trip. He never came back. It didn't take long to put together the pieces and realize that my ex-wife had abducted him. The emotional devastation came quickly. But just as quickly came a surprisingly calm resolve to bring my son home. My wife, Stephanie and I began to seek help from everyone we could think of - the local police, the FBI, the Department of State. We spent our savings on private detectives. But after almost three months we still had nothing. We had no idea where he was. That's when we decided to go to Israel. Thus began a journey built on faith and hope; a journey filled with unexpected discoveries; a journey filled with miracles.
At the End of Every Day
In this haunting debut novel--perfect for fans of Iain Reid, Jeff VanderMeer, and Julia Armfield--a loyal employee at a collapsing theme park questions the recent death of a celebrity visitor, the arrival of strange new guests, her boyfriend's erratic behavior, and ultimately her own sanity. Delphi has spent years working at a vast and iconic theme park in California after fleeing childhood trauma in her rural hometown. But after the disturbing death of a beloved Hollywood starlet on the park grounds, Delphi is tasked with shuttering The Park for good. Meanwhile, two siblings with ties to The Park exchange letters, trying to understand why people who work there have been disappearing. Before long, they learn that there's a reason no one is meant to see behind The Park's curtain. What happens when The Park empties out? And what happens when Delphi, who seems remarkably at one with The Park, is finally forced to leave? At once a novel about the uncanny valley, death cults, optical illusions, and the enduring power of fantasy, Reiche's debut is a mind-bending teacup ride through an eerily familiar landscape, where the key to it all is what happens at the end of every day.

The Daughter’s Way investigates negotiations of female subjectivity in twentieth-century Canadian women’s elegies with a special emphasis on the father’s death as a literary and political watershed. The book examines the work of Dorothy Livesay, P.K. Page, Jay Macpherson, Margaret Atwood, Kristjana Gunnars, Lola Lemire Tostevin, Anne Carson, and Erin Mouré as elegiac daughteronomies—literary artifacts of mourning that grow from the poets’ investigation into the function and limitations of elegiac convention. Some poets treat the father as a metaphor for socio-political power, while others explore more personal iterations of loss, but all the poets in The Daughter’s Way seek to redefine daughterly duty in a contemporary context by challenging elegiac tradition through questions of genre and gender. Beginning with psychoanalytical theories of filiation, inheritance, and mourning as they are complicated by feminist challenges to theories of kinship and citizenship, The Daughter’s Way debates the efficacy of the literary “work of mourning” in twentieth-century Canadian poetry. By investigating the way a daughter’s filial piety performs and sometimes reconfigures such work, and situating melancholia as a creative force in women’s elegies, the book considers how elegies inquire into the rhetoric of mourning as it is complicated by father-daughter kinship.
