Annie Aldridge is in love with poetic, whimsical Ethan Jackson. But Ethan is a man in search of himself and is unable to decide with whom he wants to be. Just across the street, police detective Al Tortino admires Annie from a careful distance. But for Annie, their handsome neighbor is little more than an increasing annoyance, despite his being close friends with her uncle and young niece, with whom Annie lives in the imposing old Graystone house.
The harder Annie struggles to win over the elusive Ethan, the more hopelessly entangled her life becomes with the caring, classically handsome detective. Soon, despite the lamentations of her family, she loathes the very sight of her neighbor and refuses to speak to him at all.
Yet as Annie pines for Ethan, Al has the case of his career to solve: A maniac is attacking people on the streets of North Park. Al’s deepening love for Annie wears away at his pragmatic nature; but when the detective’s judgment finally slips, a terrible price may come for all to pay.

It is a story, not one of science, and one that may not be remembered past this one lifetime. It is the story of someone that did not know his destiny, but followed it with unfaltering step, bound to his human companion, not by vows or paper, but in the name of the trust that was the best part of his nature. It is a story of the one that taught her to love, even as he occasionally barfed on the carpet. It is simply the tale of a black Labrador retriever named Barkley. It was the beginning never anticipated; belief that there were no limits that made tragedy inevitable, a gentle nuzzle that made the walls fall away, and the pull of the leash into the day’s infinitude. It was an ending she did not expect; a leash laid across the chair, an empty bed, a glass tipped over, spilling the blood of wine. The noise that an empty room makes is as clear as tears.
In between, there are the stories, of friends, of joy and dog hair, of a small pink ball with feet known as Mr. Squeaky, which became the mortal enemy at dawn, as she tried to sleep. It is the story of rambunctious trespasses such as “the bacon incident” and the loving trust that bound a lonely road warrior and a dog together in unspoken understanding.
The Book of Barkley is a tribute and memoir that will resonate with everyone who has reached out unthinking to pet a beloved animal…only to remember that their beloved friend is no longer present. Honest, transcendent, and beautifully written The Book of Barkley is a love story that will enrich every animal lover’s library.

Sex: What Your Parents Didn’t Tell You encourages parents to end the legacy of silence that leaves so many young people to learn about sex from all the wrong sources.
Author Michael Rittenhouse takes his cue from Theology of the Body, showing that just as all human creatures have an appetite for food, we also have an appetite for sex. And just as our culture is awash in junk food, we’re facing a glut of sexual misinformation distracting us from true fulfillment.
Drawing on truthful teachings from both the secular and Judeo-Christian viewpoints, Sex details a healthy sexuality in terms anyone can grasp. Chapters feature:
- the critical value of masculinity and femininity, two equal opposites that, put together, make couples whole
- a summary of natural law, the metaphysics that guides regardless of faith
- the special problem of Internet porn, which is being quietly overcome in little-noted corners of the Web
- the latest in scientific findings, which affirm that humans were made to enjoy intimacy and sex, and to mate for life
- accurate language and reasoning to help you explain what’s good and right about the gift of sexualityTwo qualities differentiate Sex from books already on the shelves. One is its reliance on secular teachings to support truths revealed in Scripture, reaching out to the unchurched as well as the faithful. The other is the author’s storytelling approach, leading each chapter with his own experiences wandering the desert of a confused culture. His concrete, poignant, and often funny recollections illustrate, in vivid terms, widely held but wrongheaded ideas about sexuality, and their life-changing consequences.
