She Knew
It was the last straw. Sally couldn’t take this anymore, live with the consequences of her husband’s addiction, so she turned on her heels and walked away. Jenny smelt the betrayal on him as she greeted him at the door. This time she drew back, looked him straight in the eye and left. She was no longer prepared to put up with his unfaithfulness. Kate curled up on the settee and thought about David, her husband, her one true love who she had walked out on hoping to shock him into saving their marriage by stopping gambling. It had worked, he had stopped but David had found other arms to comfort him. These three girls form a lasting friendship, brought together by their charity shop work, a lasting intuitive friendship giving each other the support they needed. The shop and its customers and the community it inspired helped each of them in turn. “Alice? Who is Alice?” warbled Smokie on the piped music in the shop. Who indeed, you might ask. She is their favourite volunteer. She’s the lovable perfect grandma everyone wishes they had. But things are not quite as they seem…

The Boy Who Talks to Animals
There are things within us beyond our understanding which have been and still are forces of nature. There are active parts of our brain working yet no one really knows why and what they are doing. We know that the body compensates in its own way for a loss of sense. Blindness can sometimes be offset by enhanced hearing, touch, taste or smell. Autistic people who often find it hard to socialise and relate to others have produced some startling abilities. How do we explain photographic memory, total recall and speed-reading, not forgetting a whole range of psychic aptitude? Does science end as we know it, or does it? This is a story about such a person who has an ability to communicate with animals and the awakening of special gifts that we may all have inside us.
