The Opera House / by FitzSimons, Peter.(CARDINAL)646921;
'The most beautiful site in the world' -- 'An act of rare imagination' -- Exit the maestro -- Enter the architect and the engineer -- Bennelong punters -- The foundation stone -- Farewell, Old Smoothie, farewell smooth sailing -- Podium finish -- Back to the drawing board -- All the world's a stage -- The edge of the possible -- Storm approaching -- Malice in blunderland -- 'Single line of control' -- Exit, with a stage left... to go -- 'This story doesn't end...' -- A tale of two halls -- Of Jacobites and Philistines.The sun did not know how beautiful its light was until it was reflected off this building.' - Louis Kahn, US architect If only these walls and this land could talk ... The Sydney Opera House is a breathtaking building, recognised around the world as a symbol of modern Australia. Along with the Taj Mahal and other World Heritage sites, it is celebrated for its architectural grandeur and the daring and innovation of its design. It showcases the incomparable talents involved in its conception, construction and performance history. But this stunning house on Bennelong Point also holds many secrets and scandals. In his gripping biography, Peter FitzSimons marvels at how this magnificent building came to be, details its enthralling history and reveals the dramatic stories and hidden secrets about the people whose lives have been affected, both negatively and positively, by its presence. He shares how a conservative 1950s state government had the incredible vision and courage to embark on this nation-defining structure; how an architect from Denmark and construction workers from Australia and abroad invented new techniques to bring it to completion; how ambition, betrayal, professional rivalry, sexual intrigue, murder, bullying and breakdowns are woven into its creation; and how it is now acknowledged as one of the wonders and masterpieces of human ingenuity. In The Opera House, Peter FitzSimons captures the extraordinary stories around this building that are as mesmerising as the light catching on its white sails.

Signs of hope : messages from subway therapy / by Chavez, Matthew,author.(CARDINAL)676490;
"In the days and weeks after the 2016 presidential election, Matthew Chavez showed up in the subway with stacks of brightly colored sticky notes. "Express yourself," he told passersby. The response was electric. Calling himself "Levee"--one who supports the city's emotional tide--Chavez turned an underground maze into a communal art space known as Subway Therapy. News and social media feeds around the world filled with images of this ever-changing, ever-growing wall of remembrances, messages of love, and fierce calls to action. And its spirit was catching. Thousands picked up the mantle to create Subway Therapy walls in cities across the country--San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle, Boston, Washington, D.C.--and internationally as well. Signs of Hope is Chavez's tribute to Subway Therapy, showcasing the most inspired and most inspiring of the thousands of 3 x 3 inch notes. Individually these brave and funny and emotional "posts" bring the personal and momentary into the open. Together, they show us a vision of inclusivity and hope."--Amazon.com.

The hungry dark : a thriller / by Williams, Jen(Fiction writer),author.(CARDINAL)416883;
As a child, Ashley Whitelam could often see odd things nobody else could: quiet, watchful figures she called the Heedful Ones kept a strange vigil wherever she went. As an adult, she keeps these visions to herself, but she's turned her taste of the beyond into a career as a psychic, parting people from their money with a combination of psychology and internet research. When the Lake District is gripped by a series of grisly child murders, Ashley offers her services to the police for the free publicity. But as Ashley leads the police on a fruitless search around the small town of Green Beck, she catches a glimpse of those old ghosts of her childhood and, following them into the woods, she finds something she never expected: the corpse of the latest missing child. The press fly into a frenzy and the police grow suspicious: either Ashley's psychic abilities are real or she's guilty of murder. Hounded by interviews and interrogations, Ashley teams up with Freddie Miller, a podcaster covering the crimes. As they investigate, Ashley realizes that there's no way to distance herself from these murders: whoever or whatever it is that's haunting the Lakes is haunting her too. Master of unsettling suspense Jen Williams is back with another chilling, dark listen that will draw listeners into a gruesome and atmospheric nightmare.

Into the silence : the fishing story / by Hart, America.(CARDINAL)408104;
"As a child Natalia goes fishing with her father, Walker, but spends more time humming songs than catching fish. When Walker comes upon Natalia sitting beside a stream, he hears her singing and asks what the music is. Natalia tells him that it's the music she hears in her dreams, music she wants to write and perform. So begins into the silence: the fishing story, America Hart's genre-bending, time-warping debut novel. Natalia does become an accomplished musician, but even with her father's encouragement, she struggles with her family-especially her younger sister Nadine-to be understood. She sets off on her own, dropping out of school and following Dan, a ballet dancer, to his new job in a new city. There, too, she encounters obstacles to her creative vision. Throughout her journey, Natalia and her father are visited by apparitions of Walker's mother, America, and his grandmother, Anastasia. Their stories are told through diaries found by Natalia and Nadine; reading them, the two sisters make surprising discoveries about their family's history. With echoes of Woolf and Burroughs, employing structures found more commonly in art music, into the silence weaves together voices and motives, past and present, into a haunting, polyphonic song of striking and original beauty"--

Shalom sistas : living wholeheartedly in a brokenhearted world / by Moore, Osheta,author.(CARDINAL)355574;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-244).Shalom after the storm -- Not your typical peacemaker -- Forty days of peace -- The Shalom Sista manifesto -- Shalom with God -- Dance, baby: we are invited -- Woo-woo church: we are beloved -- Coffee shop alias: we are enough -- Shalom within ourselves -- This brown skin: we will see the beauty -- Treat yo self?: we will rest -- A strange song: we will choose subversive joy -- Shalom in our relationships -- Carpool tribute: we will tell better stories -- Shalom with a Swiffer: we will serve before we speak -- Jesus' party planners: we will build bridges, not walls -- Shalom in our world -- Love bombs: we will choose ordinary acts of peace -- Lemonade: we will show up, say something, and be still -- Kingdom strong: we will be peacemakers, not peacekeepers."Shalom, the Hebrew word often translated as "peace," was a far cry from blogger and podcaster Osheta Moore's crazy life. Like a lot of women, she loved God's dream for a world that is whole, vibrant, and flourishing. But honestly: who's got the time? So one night she whispered a dangerous prayer: God, show me the things that make for peace. In Shalom Sistas, Moore shares what she learned when she challenged herself to study peace in the Bible for forty days. Taking readers through the twelve points of the Shalom Sistas' Manifesto, Moore experiments with practices of everyday peacemaking and invites readers to do the same. From dropping "love bombs" on a family vacation, to talking to the coach who called her son the n-word, to spreading shalom with a Swiffer, Moore offers bold steps for crossing lines between black and white, suburban and urban, rich and poor. What if a bunch of Jesus-following women catch a vision of a vibrant, whole, flourishing world? What happens when Shalom Sistas unite?"--Amazon.com.

The dead guy next door [large print] / by Score, Lucy,author.(CARDINAL)623186;
"Riley Thorn is divorced. Broke. Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she's diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they're clairvoyant visions. Just when things can't get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for one of her neighbors . . . who turns up murdered. Nick Santiago doesn't play well with others. Unless the "others" are of the female persuasion. Wink. He's a rebel, a black sheep, a man who prefers a buffet of options to being stuck with the same entrée every night, if you catch his drift. When the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, Nick volunteers to find out whodunit. Only because he likes solving mysteries-not because he wants to flex his heroic muscles for the damsel in distress. All they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep a by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts. All before the killer discovers she's a loose end that requires snipping."--
