But with a young son to raise and a past that won’t stay buried, Brae is back…and determined to uncover the truth.
She just didn’t count on the brooding, reclusive mountain man living next door.
Dex Archer is the stuff of local legend? silent, rugged, and surrounded by whispers of his and his brothers’ violent father. But Brae sees through the scowl and his parentage to the man beneath: fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind…and just dangerous enough to protect her when someone starts warning her off her search.
The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to stay away from Dex. And as things get more perilous, Brae realizes the only person she can rely on is the one man who swore never to trust again.
Only someone isn’t happy that Brae has been digging, and they’ll do anything to stop her. But Dex? He’ll do anything to save her, even slip back into the dark.

The Cut Line

She undergoes every stage of separation in a lone farmstead amid forests. A lot of physical labour and gardening help her withstand her ex-partner's threats, the incredulity of friends and family, and her own anguish. Dread is pervasive in this novel. Set in the near future, it is filled with vivid depictions of the threat of climate change. No less menacing is the presence of an expanding NATO base close to the cottage at the Russian border. The world's largest military alliance is practicing for an attack. Explosions and shots ring in the distance while Liine tries to recover from fourteen years of violence. Yet she simply follows the rhythm of nature as summer unfolds. While her environment changes around her, Liine-always in the garden chopping wood, weeding, sowing-undergoes profound transformations, too. The Cut Line is a story of fear, self-blame, grief, numbness, and anger ultimately giving way to hope and healing, joy and lightness.

Mezi kýčem a akademií
Chromolitografie byla v době své slávy v druhé polovině 19. století exkluzivní a náročnou technikou vícebarevného soutisku, využívajícího principu sčítání barev a optického efektu tiskového bodu. Její role se však v průběhu vývoje proměňovala od reprodukční techniky s ambicemi takřka imitovat malířská díla, přes využití jako svébytného média na poli reklamy až po ryze služebnou funkci v exaktní vědecké ilustraci nebo v podobě často esteticky pokleslých užitkových merkantilních tisků, které chromolitografii přinesly pejorativně vnímané označení barvotisk. Právě tento aspekt v umělecko-historických disciplínách na dlouhou dobu neprávem deklasoval výjimečná díla, zejména reklamní plakáty, ale i diplomy, či kalendáře, která touto náročnou technikou vznikla.

You with the Sad Eyes
'Lively and at times harrowing' New York Times'Unvarnished' Rolling Stone'Candor and intelligence thread throughout her memoir ... Applegate evokes the hijinks of fame - there are more celebrity cameos here than in a Josh Safdie film - as well as her journey through chronic illness' Time'Blunt ... without a filter ... not a safe, prim thing. It's raw and angry, lyrical and funny, and more than a bit dangerous. [Christina Applegate] charts the personal and career ups and downs of a veteran Hollywood comic actor with a rawness rarely found in today's memoirs...' Washington Post'Christina Applegate has written the most devastating celebrity memoir of the year' IndependentUnflinchingly honest and darkly funny, You with the Sad Eyes unveils a side of Christina Applegate we've never seen, forever cementing her formidable and iconoclastic legacy. Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. What started as a financial necessity soon became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 70s and 80s. She rocketed to stardom on the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate audiences in classics like Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead..., Anchorman, and Dead to Me in her five-decade long career. Then it all stopped. A Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2021 confined her to a king-sized bed and the company of memories she'd rather forget: memories of the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that stalked her meteoric rise, of her mother's fight against addiction and abuse after her father left, and of the tax life had taken on her body and mind that was suddenly coming due. Now, at her most intimate and vulnerable, she unveils a story not even those closest to her fully know. She returns to the diaries she kept her whole life, finding the pain matched by joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, and the weight of life lifted by her unrelenting belief that something greater lay ahead. No longer willing to lock herself away and with the perspective only our own mortality can bring, she knew it was imperative to tell it all. You with the Sad Eyes presents a remarkable woman and her legacy. In her own words, "I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That's why I'm doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won't be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life. So here I am. Real me. Lots to say."
