Champagne Secrets

Amanda Brunker

First there was Champagne Kisses, then there was Champagne Babes, NOW there's Champagne Secrets....

Eva the Diva is back! And she's going undercover...After capturing a bust up on an airplane between a group of footballers' wives on her camera phone, Eva is offered the chance of a lifetime - a new job as an undercover TV reporter. Her exciting new career means moving herself and little daughter Daisy to London and keeping the exact nature of her work secret from her colleagues at the TV production company. Even the new man in her life doesn't know what she's up to...It's not all high glamour in the big city though - a single mum in a new town needs support, so Eva moves in with her aunt's large brood, where the rough and tumble of family life is a stark contrast to the celebrity restaurants and nightclubs she visits in her quest to uncover all sorts of WAG drama.

But as the intrigue deepens and Eva is forced to tell more and more lies to hold her cover, will her secret prove to be her downfall? And will there ever be a real Mr Right? One things for sure, there'll be lots of naughty fun and games along the way.

'Keys to the Cage: How people cope with depression'

Sue Leonard

The book comprises 14 interviews with men and women, of all ages, from all around Ireland, who have been through depression, anxiety and related illnesses. Through their sometimes heartrending stories, it concentrates on the tools they used to help them recover. The book includes an appendix with a list of all the therapies, support groups and books that helped them. This important book will go some way to breaking the silence and stigma surrounding issues of mental health, and discusses how real people manage to cope with their illnesses on a day-to-day basis.

South of Broad

Pat Conroy

Leopold Bloom King is the son of an amiable, loving father who teaches science at the local high school. His mother, a former nun, is the high school principal and a respected Joyce scholar. He has had an unremarkable, happy family life.
But after Leo's ten-year-old brother commits suicide, the family struggles with the shattering effects of his death, and Leo, lonely and isolated, searches for something to sustain him. Eventually, he finds his answer when he becomes part of a tight knit group of older high school students that includes Sheba and Trevor Poe - glamorous twins with an alcoholic mother and a prison-escapee father ; hard-scrabble mountain runaways Niles and Starla Whitehead; socialite Molly Huger and her boyfriend, Chadworth Rutledge X - and an ever-widening circle whose liaisons will ripple across two decades.  The ties among them endure for years, surviving marriages happy and troubled, unrequited loves and unspoken longings, hard-won successes and devastating breakdowns, as well as the American South's dark legacy of racism and class divisions.
But the final test of friendship that brings them to San Francisco is something no one is prepared for.
