No Safe Harbour is set in the months before and after the December 6, 1917 Halifax explosion, which was the largest man-made blast in history until the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The explosion levelled most of the city and sent shards of glass and burning debris flying for miles. It left thousands dead, blinded or homeless. Suddenly orphaned, Charlotte turns to her diary to help her cope with the events that killed her entire family — leaving her older brother, still fighting in the trenches of WWI, as her only surviving relative. This is an affecting story of loss and recovery, powerfully told by award-winning author Julie Lawson.

Despite her brother's warning, Cara decides to trust Rourke and reveals the truth about her purpose in America.

Book excerpt: In her fifty-ninth bestselling novel, Danielle Steel tells an unforgettable story of survival...of how two people who lost everything find hope...and of the extraordinary acts of faith and courage that bring —and keep— families together... On a windswept summer day, as the fog rolls across the San Francisco coastline, a solitary figure walks down the beach, a dog at her side. At eleven, Pip Mackenzie's young life has already been touched by tragedy; nine months before, a terrible accident plunged her mother into inconsolable grief. But on this chilly July afternoon, Pip meets someone who fills her sad gray world with color and light. And in her innocence and in his kindness, a spark will be kindled, lives will be changed, and a journey of hope will begin. From the moment the curly-haired girl walks up to his easel on the sand, Matt Bowles senses something magical about her. Pip reminds him of his own daughter at that age, before a bitter divorce tore his family apart and swept his children halfway across the world. With her own mother, Ophélie, retreating deeper into her grief, Pip spends her summer at the shore the way lonely children do: watching the glittering waters and rushing clouds, daydreaming and remembering how things used to be. That is, until she meets artist Matt Bowles, who offers to teach the girl to draw—and can't help but notice her beautiful, lonely mother. At first, Ophélie is thrown off balance by her daughter's new companion—until she realizes how much joy he is bringing into their lives, despite the sadness she sees in his eyes. As their newfound friend works his subtle magic, mother and daughter slowly begin to heal, to laugh again, to rediscover what they have lost. When summer ends, and Ophélie and Pip must leave the beach for the city, the season of healing continues. Gathering her newfound strength, Ophélie begins a volunteer job at a city outreach program, where she works with the homeless, and can no longer ignore the blessings in her own life. But as soul-sharing phone calls and autumn beach getaways deepen Ophélie and Matt's friendship, fate strikes another blow. Out of the blue, Matt must confront unfinished business from his past. Days later, Ophélie is struck by a stunning betrayal by someone she trusts. And as these events reverberate in two already wounded hearts, something extraordinary happens. Out of the darkness that has shadowed them both comes an unexpected gift of hope. With grace and compassion, Danielle Steel explores the fragile bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, family members and lifelong friends. Her haunting, impassioned novel takes us across the complex landscape of loss—to the blessings that arise from even the darkest tragedies. At once a story of triumph and a moving elegy to those who suffer and survive, Safe Harbour is perhaps her most powerful and life-affirming novel to date.

Book excerpt: Dana Underhill's artistic gift has led her all over the world. Her underwater canvases evoke all the beauty of the seas she and her sister, Lily, have sailed since childhood. But when a shattering event takes Lily from her forever, Dana must leave her artist's life and return to Connecticut to become a mother to her nieces, Allie and Quinn. Quinn is convinced her parents' deaths at sea were no accident, and Dana, too, is troubled by the puzzle of what could have gone so wrong on that clear, moonlit night. Support comes to Dana unexpectedly in the person of Sam Trevor, a young marine biologist. As Dana searches for the truth behind what happened that night, she must first find the strength to look into her own heart for the truth about her future.

Book excerpt: Data Protection, Privacy Regulators and Supervisory Authorities explores and details the establishment, rules, and powers of data protection regulators and supervisory authorities. It also discusses rights issues (pursuing and defending) as well as the developing area of fines and contestability. Data protection and privacy are arguably the most significant developing areas of law and policy. New regulations span from the GDPR (EU) to the CCPA (California), and other new rules internationally. How the new data protection rules operate on a day-to-day basis is linked to the activities, functions and orders of data protection regulators and supervisory authorities. This brand new title includes coverage of: - The establishment and wider powers of the new data regulators - The new sanctions, orders, penalties and powers to enforce compliance - The new obligations to contact data regulators even before data collections - The detailed GDPR and DPA powers and requirements - Recent fines, penalties and case law including CJEU This book is essential for any entity dealing with the new data protection and privacy issues as no company, organisation nor their internal or external advisors, can ignore these new regulators, nor fully understand the new data protection and privacy compliance landscape without a detailed appreciation of these regulators.
