Publisher's Summary:

The Prime Minister gives permission for John Alford (The Pilgrim) to board a tramp steamer crammed with a thousand young enlistees bound for adventure in the Boer War. They steam across a stormy Atlantic into a year of dusty, disease-ridden battles in South Africa - the first engagement by Canadian Forces on foreign soil. He and his courageous comrades endure freezing night-long marches and thirst-ridden days as they mount dangerous attacks on Boer commandoes under a blazing sun, turning the tide of war in the great battle of Paardeberg Drift.

He falls in love, but as Chaplain, he must first comfort the dying, tend wounded friends, and with his troops assault the impregnable Thaba 'Nchu, the Black Mountain. This enthralling tale of bravery and self-sacrifice is the first romantic adventure novel set in the Boer War for over a hundred years.

The Chaplain is the fifth book of The Alford Saga, following The Deserter, The Survivor, The Pioneer, and The Pilgrim.

Anne. Talia. Ruthie. Brett. Four very different New York women. But when their children are diagnosed with autism, they all find themselves struggling with the same problem. Suddenly, these women an ex-model who owns a downtown bar, a high-powered magazine editor, an English professor, and a physical therapist find that they need each other, as they face the ultimate challenge for any parent: How to help their autistic children get the care they need. But as women, they struggle with another daunting task: How to keep their marriages alive and not find themselves on the wrong side of a frightening statistic - eighty percent of the parents of autistic children divorce.

They join together in a support group, and each chapter follows a month in their lives and ends with a meeting. It's a rocky road, as they contend with other problems: Quacks peddling expensive alternative therapies - and hope; husbands impatient with their children's disability; other women only too happy to take advantage of the pressures on their marriages; older children diagnosed with autism years ago; newborn babies who have a one-in-five chance of suffering from the disorder; scheming co-workers who try to turn this problem to their advantage; grandparents who are anything but helpful; and resentful teens who run wild while their mothers cope with the crisis. And through it all, they help each other - with strength, humor, love, and wisdom.

Title: The Salt God's Daughter

Author: Ilie Ruby

Narrator: Jane Jacobs

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-29-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Ethereal in scope and threaded with Jewish mysticism and Celtic folklore, The Salt God's Daughter weaves an unforgettable tale of female rites of passage, family secrets, and the enduring hold of ancestry.

Single mother, Diana, and her two daughters, Ruthie and Dolly, navigate their lives by the stars as they search for a place to call home across Southern California. Theirs is an oceanic wilderness teeming with the spirits of sea lions, where stability comes and goes like the phases of the moon, men walk out of the waves, promising love, and faith rises from the sea to the sky and back. While Diana's impoverished lifestyle causes upheaval and difficulty for the girls, their gritty determination and loyalty to each other sustains them. When tragedy strikes, Ruthie finds solace in caring for others - and in her love for mysterious fisherman; Dolly's rage turns inward. Years later, when Ruthie's own daughter shares her grandmother's strange connection to the ocean, she is forced to question all she believes about the past, the future, and the power of her own irrevocable will.

A story that shows how one connection can heal us - between woman and nature, mother and daughter, between two sisters, or with the first person with whom you've shared your heart. A stunning, raw, evolutionary tale about the ties that bind and the discoveries made when you're searching for love and discover yourself.
