New Releases by Mary Morgan

In this book, Mary Morgan provides a comprehensive understanding of couple relations. Taking a psychoanalytic perspective, Morgan explores some of the fundamental tensions in being part of a couple: between being an individual and a couple, relating, non-relating, and the narcissistic problem in tolerating the otherness and alienness of one’s partner. She guides the reader through managing feelings of both separateness and intimacy, issues around sex and sexuality, the tension between love and hate, and the importance of curiosity. She also elucidates key discoveries of unconscious processes in a couple relationship made by couple psychoanalysts, including unconscious choice of partner, the couple projective system, shared unconscious phantasy and beliefs, unconscious alliances, the couple’s own transference relationship and how the real "presence" of an other is seen as an "interference" acting on the preconceptions of the other subject. Through Morgan’s accessible and holistic approach, drawing on decades of clinical experience, this book is an essential resource for all psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapists, counsellors working with couples, and researchers and students in Gender Studies, social sciences, psychology and the humanities.

If you long to draw nearer to the Creator, crave to feel the Spirit’s comfort, or yearn to follow Jesus along the journey of faith, you will treasure the humble wisdom that has crossed your path. Seek, Wait, Trust: Poems for Navigating the Spiritual Journey contains the pensive, poetic voice of Mary Morgan Brown and the compelling prayers of Rev. Dr. Gregg Brown. “These are not just literary offerings, but also testimonies of what God can do and will do,” Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr. observes in his Foreword. “In many of these poems, scripture verses have morphed into direct advice not so much to be quoted, but actions to be taken. Listen not so much for rhymes or meter, literal or symbolic intent. Listen with your heart to hear the voice of God. God has heard the interrogatives, intercessions, petitions, and gratitude of your soul and has lovingly placed an answer in your spirit...If you do not discern the meaning on your first reading, read again and again. When you are finally ready, say ‘Speak Lord, your servant child is ready to hear!’” This book is a boat of wisdom for those on a quest for deeper meaning and purpose in life. The foreword is the bow; the poetry, the hull; and the prayers, the stern. Take the helm. Seek and chart a steady spiritual course. Wait for God’s navigating guidance. Trust your entire destination to the living Lord. • “Mary’s pensive, piercing insight and Gregg’s vigorous, Heaven-bound prayers will leave the reader revitalized and transformed for a closer walk with God and more loving interactions with people.” – Jackie Wright, publicist, President of Wright Enterprises • “Ms. Brown’s poignant, tender, and always relatable poems render new insight to scripture, bridging the peaks and valleys of an ongoing spiritual search.” – Robin Fletcher, writer, Founder of RdF Consulting Services • “It is a poetic dance and masterpiece of movement through self-discovery...it is the essential traveling case required of believers.” – Rev. Dr. Clarence L. Johnson, Senior Pastor, Mills Grove Christian Church, Disciples of Christ

"Featuring a strong coming-of-age angle, this is a well-written, deftly structured story of cryptic family ties, from the author of Willful Neglect." — Publishers Weekly When Victor Cartwright is sent to Malaya on a business trip, he invites his sister, Isabel, to go with him. Isabel, haunted by memories of her childhood in the jungle, has always longed to return to the country where she and Victor were born. She was six years old and Victor a baby when they were evacuated back to England just hours before Malaya fell to the Japanese in 1942. But their parents were left behind, their fate never known. While Victor accepts that their parents met the same end as many others in those last days of the Empire, Isabel is sure there is more to the story. In Kuala Lumpur, on a visit to the house where they lived before the Japanese came, the house Isabel has dreamed of for so long, she begins to recall those dim and distant days. The house is full of ghosts for her, exotic and troubling, and when Victor meets with an accident there, Isabel is convinced it holds some terrible secret. She sets off alone to explore the enigma of her parents''s lives, and through Oliver Bailey, an Englishman who once knew them, and an even more surprising figure from the past, she finally unravels the long hidden mysteries. Mary Morgan''s The House at the Edge of the Jungle is a fascinating tale of past and present. "Isabel herself—as quirky and unpredictable as she is believable and fascinating—will keep you steadily turning pages." — Kirkus Reviews

It is June in the turbulent year of 1968. Tim Bruce is about to leave on a trip to Europe before being drafted into the war in Vietnam. At a party at his parent''s home, he overhears his father, Carlton, tell a stranger about his service in the Second World War, a place called Clarrach, and a woman named Gwyneth. Carlton says, "I''d have married her if it hadn''t been for the war." Tim has never heard of this woman, and something in his father''s voice makes him decide to seek her out. She lives near Clarrach, a small town high in the hills of Wales, in a house with thick stone walls, hand-hewn beams, and a roof of blue Welsh slate. Now married to the local doctor, Rhys Edwards, she is not happy to be reminded of a figure from her past. Very reluctantly, she invites Tim into her house. Both expect this to be a mere fleeting visit, but circumstances beyond their control cause Tim to end up spending days with Gwyneth and Rhys. During that time, he learns of his father''s connection to her, and comes to admire the acerbic Rhys and his way of practicing medicine.

The Sound of Her Name spans two generations and two troubled times: the Vietnam era and the Second World War. It is a story of love, betrayal, and the loss of innocence, and also of a search for redemption, renewal, and forgiveness.

Her baby is dangerously ill: Will Noah drive them to the nearest hospital? There the child recovers as quickly - almost miraculously -- as apparently he had fallen ill. It''s an episode that will be repeated later, causing Noah much concern - and eventually, puzzlement and distrust. After an ugly meeting of the property owners, the developer and his belligerent brother, who lives on the island, ask Noah to represent them in the dispute, but he turns down the offer. That evening, walking on the beach in the dark, he finds the body of the murdered young Native American law student who had been researching the tribe''s claim.
