However, darkness lurks behind the daylight. If only it weren't for the strange shadows, inexplicable noises, and that unwelcoming staircase troubling Maggie and her young daughter Kat's peace in their inherited Del Mar home In this harrowing ghost story, Maggie Flores, is dually haunted by the unexplainable, malignant presence in her new home and by her ex-husband Tim's tragic meth addiction. Tim too, is haunted by toxic, increasingly vicious shadows from his past -- and from beyond the grave -- that threaten Maggie, himself, and their young daughter.

Coming out from an outlaw world that is ruled by dollars and fueled by power into a spiritual life that is centered around faith and trust in a God that cannot be seen by the physical eye is a challenge. The only trust Bullwinkle had ever known was a brotherhood of blood, where your back was covered by a strong arm and a cold heart. Now he walked in a city of sin but was no longer a part of that world. Everything was different, yet nothing had changed. For the first time in his life, Bullwinkle was seeing things from a different angle. He was trying to cope with a new way of thinking and was inspired spiritually in a world of flesh. With Satan on one shoulder and Jesus on the other, each whispering in his ear and every choice had consequences, some of which were eternal.

In response to the stifling socialism of the Canadian health care system and the intolerably long Canadian winters, Dr. Mel Genraich made a life-altering decision: leave Toronto for good, and seek his fortune in Houston, Texas. Little did he know that in the short space of eight years, he would be divorced from his wife and children, remarried to a native Texan (from a staunch Church of Christ family, no less), and would relocate his practice to the Texas Panhandle. Take Two Aspirins, but Don't Call Me in the Morning depicts the travels and struggles of a Canadian Jew living in an almost one-hundred percent Christian world. Genraich tells of his incredible swings of fortune and adaptation to events that change the course of his life. He chronicles his travels in America and abroad-in particular, his transformational journey through Europe as a senior medical student. Brutally honest and sprinkled with his personal observations, Genraich shows that he is not afraid to be honest and controversial, traits that most in his profession decry. This is a memoir that is frank and engaging, far removed from the private enclave of the medical world and yet also a story of that world.
