Natalie Young

A startling debut about the extraordinary end of a marriage and its very strange aftermath. Meet Lizzie Prain. She is an ordinary housewife and lives with her lovely dog and her husband, who is a bit of a difficult fellow, in a quiet cottage in British country side. She's a wonderful cook. She enjoys her garden. And, occasionally, she makes cakes for the village parties. No one has seen Lizzie's husband, Jacob, for a few days. That's because last Monday and Lizzie snapped and cracked him on the head with her garden shovel. No one quite misses Jacob though, and Lizzie surely didn't kill him on purpose. And now that she has the chance to live beyond his shadow, she won't neglect her good fortune. Over the course of the following month, with a body to get rid of and few fail-proof options at hand, Lizzie will channel her most practical instincts and do what she does best: she'll cook Jacob, and she'll eat him. But when Lizzie inadvertently befriends an isolated misfit, she will be tested: Will Lizzie turn to this new person for solace and abandon her desperate plan or will her new friend be an unwitting accessory to her crime? Dark, unexpectedly funny, and achingly human, Season to Taste is a deliciously subversive treat. In Lizzie Prain, Natalie Young has created one of the most remarkable and surprising heroines in fiction.

Season to Taste

A story of love and ownership, misplaced desire, and the damage done when the truth is withheld.

We All Ran Into the Sunlight

David L. Young

Enhanced by extraordinary photography and thought-provoking quotes, original poems and reflections tell the author's life-story in parallel with six epic stories, including the story and Adam and Eve and their descendants, from its beginnings in Eden, through wilderness journeys and exile, to the promise of a new Eden. Questions following each chapter invite readers to use the book's stories to plum the depths of their own life-stories and experience transformation through telling and reflecting on the epic dimensions of their personal stories.
