For a House Made of Stone

The extraordinary true story of a young woman from the Philippines who, aged 27, stood trial in the UK for the murder of her husband.

Even as a young child, Gina did all she could to help her family - working with her siblings on their hill farm and leaving home at 11 to become a live-in housemaid.

However a series of misfortunes meant that Gina became a burden and she vowed to repay her mother and father by earning the money for them to build a stone house.

Her quest took many turns- from the fleshpots of Manila to the jet-set worlds of New York and Brunei - until she fell in love with a British man. She married him and together they had a son.

She soon realised that she was married to an abusive bully, but she agreed to move to England to salvage their relationship. Driven close to madness by her husband's violence, Gina stabbed him. Suddenly she was facing a murder charge in a foreign land where she understood little of what was going on.

For a House Made of Stone is Gina's uniquely inspiring story of love, loss, survival and hope.

"Impossible to put down." Jane Elliot, author of The Little Prisoner.

The Yorkshire Pudding Club

When three South Yorkshire friends picnicked on top of an ancient fertility symbol, who could have known that within four months they would all had their own eggs fertilised!

For Helen, pregnancy is a dream come true. But the more the baby grows inside her, the more she can see her outwardly perfect marriage crumbling before her eyes.

For career-woman Janey, it is a nightmare. How could it have happened? She and her husband, George, ecstatic at the prospect of being a dad, were always so careful over contraception.

And the emotionally lost Elizabeth is not only carrying a child she fears she will never love, but she must also deal with the return of a man whose love she can never have.

Heart-warming, hilarious, and (goose-)bump inducing, the warm and wonderful Yorkshire Pudding Club will satisfy the cravings of all those who are in - or dream about joining - their own pudding club.
