Jan Ellisonová sa preslávila svojím debutovým románom, ktorý sa stal bestsellerom USA Today a bol označený za jednu z najlepších kníh roka. Jej písanie sa často ponára do zložitosti ľudských vzťahov a hľadania identity, pričom sa vyznačuje prenikavým vhľadom do psychiky postáv. Ellisonová majstrovsky tká príbehy, ktoré rezonujú s čitateľmi vďaka svojej úprimnosti a štylistickej elegancii. Jej diela skúmajú témy materstva, cestovania a umenia písania s jemnosťou a hĺbkou.
What are the five solas? Why do they matter? Are they biblical? How do they apply to me? Five: The Solas of the Reformation, by S. D. Ellison, is a primer written to introduce readers to the glorious truths of the Reformation. This book will guide people through the historical and biblical basis for each of the Solas: Sola Gratia (Grace Alone), Sola Fide (Faith Alone), Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone), Solus Christus (Christ Alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone). However, just as importantly, Five: The Solas of the Reformation will show how these great reformational truths can be applied to our own lives.
When a ghost ship is spotted on the horizon one spring evening, bookseller
Eleanor Mace decides to investigate the myths and legends of the Devon seaside

With the emotional complexity of Everything I Never Told You and the psychological suspense of The Girl on the Train, O. Henry Prize winner Jan Ellison delivers a brilliantly paced, beautifully written debut novel about one woman's reckoning with a youthful mistake. Named one of the best books of the year by San Francisco ChronicleAt nineteen, Annie Black trades a bleak future in a washed-out California town for a London winter of drinking and abandon. Twenty years later, she is a San Francisco lighting designer and happily married mother of three who has put her reckless youth behind her. Then a photo from that distant winter in Europe arrives inexplicably in her mailbox, and an old obsession is awakened. Past and present collide, Annie's marriage falters, and her son takes a car ride that ends with his life hanging in the balance. Now Annie must confront her own transgressions and fight for her family by untangling the mysteries of the turbulent winter that drew an invisible map of her future. Gripping, insightful, and lyrical, A Small Indiscretion announces the arrival of a major new voice in literary suspense as it unfolds a story of denial, passion, forgiveness—and the redemptive power of love.
