Is there something deeper than this world? Ask a crow, says Black. A crow may laugh at you, but he has a story to tell. It begins in legends-the old ones of black birds and gods, and the ones heard in the air-and dances to the shaman's drum. It leads to the desert, to simplicity and burning. We follow it into blackness, "the root and bed/ before any thing," and pour back into a world "where the wind shakes you." In these poems by Sarah Webb, we live a story that is both everyday and transcendent. Together we "stand beside the dry sand of the river/and feel something moving under it."

Life isn't looking too rosy for Alice Devine. She's a single mum, and needs a well-paid job fast, because as much as she loves her sister, Hilda, she hadn't planned on living with her. Added to that, her love life has been a disaster and she's beginning to wonder if she'll ever find the man of her dreams. Things suddenly start to look up when she lands the job as assistant fund raiser for St Jude's Maternity Hospital - particularly when she meets her new boss, the gorgeous but enigmatic Jack Wiseheart. What she hadn't bargained for was also acting as general dogsbody to the terrifying and wealthy Maud Hamilton-O'Connor, Chair of the Fundraising Committee and her side-kick, Koo. Nothing is ever as it seems, however, and it's not only the women who have their secrets. When the cracks start to appear, they all realize in their different ways that they have to face the truth before they can get on with their lives.
