When the Countess Narona meets Agnes Lockwood, the woman jilted by her fianc', she feels a great sense of foreboding. After the marriage, she moves with her husband, Lord Montbarry, to Venice. There, disowned by his family, the Lord becomes a recluse and falls fatally ill. As much as Agnes tries to forget the episode of her broken engagement, her fate and that of the Countess seem to be inextricably woven. Both are relentlessly drawn to the Palace Hotel in Venice for a final and dramatic encounter, in the room where more than past emotions resurface to haunt them.Loosely based on a case from the annals of French crime, the scene, scenery, players and conflicts, and especially the horror of this mystery come through the invention of one of our classic novelists.
Infidelity doesn't have to ruin your life---or your marriage
If you have been devastated by your husband's sexual betrayal---whether an isolated incident or a long-term pattern of addiction---you need to know you don't have to live as a victim. If you choose to stay in your marriage, you have options other than punishing, tolerating, or ignoring your spouse; in fact, extraordinary growth awaits a woman willing to deal with the pain of her husband's struggles with sexual purity. Even if a spouse will not participate in a program for healing, a woman who has been sexually betrayed can change her own life in powerful and permanent ways.
This sensitive guide provides practical tools to help you make wise and empowering decisions, emotional tools to develop greater intimacy in your life, and spiritual tools to transform your suffering. Debra Laaser's personal journey through betrayal, her extensive work with hundreds of hurting women, and her intimate marriage two decades after the disclosure of her husband's infidelity provide meaningful answers to the questions that arise amid the complex fallout of broken vows.
The pain endured from sexual betrayal can break your heart, but it does not need to break your life.

The lower-middle class Adams family faces a slow disintegration in a small Midwestern town. Alice, a social climber, is ashamed of her unsuccessful family and determined to distinguish herself. Lacking the social props she needs to shine in society, Alice attends a dance and lies about her background, hoping to attract a wealthy husband. But in the end, her high aspirations must be tempered by the reality of her situation.
Alice Adams's resiliency of spirit makes her one of Tarkington's most compelling female characters.
Josie Douglas came to the isolated country cottage with her research, a good alibi, and a gun. She hoped that she'd have enough time to unravel the facts behind the tragedy that, years before, had shattered her life. Instead, she found herself in a house haunted by its own dark history. A series of strange coincidences, a ghostly visitor, and a mysterious brass key provide Josie with tantalizing clues to a mystery that keeps her guessing at every turn. Also keeping her guessing is Marc Westbrook, a landlord who embodies the meaning of the term drop-dead handsome. Soon, she'll have to trust him with the secret that drove her into seclusion, a secret that has already cost the life of one man she loved.
"Traci Svendsgaard does a wonderful job narrating this tale of a gentle haunting, a decades-old mystery, a new love, and an oddly intelligent cat. The Haunting of Josie is lightweight reading, ideal for the beach or a cozy couch on a winter's night. At five hours, it's a breezy escape into a romantic, haunted house, where the spirit is the character that needs help. Svendsgaard's gentle delivery highlights the simple beauty of the story. She even does a pretty good imitation of a 'talking' cat."-AudioFile
