About the Book
From the author of THIS IS HAPPINESS comes a compassionate, life-affirming novel about the Christmas season that transforms the small Irish town of Faha.
Doctor Jack Troy was born and raised in Faha, but his responsibilities for the sick and his care for the dying mean that he has always been set apart from the town. His eldest daughter, Ronnie, has grown up in her father's shadow and remains there, having missed one chance at love --- and passed up another offer of marriage from an unsuitable man.
But in the Advent season of 1962, as the town readies itself for Christmas, Ronnie and Doctor Troy's lives are turned upside down when a baby is left in their care. As the winter passes, father and daughter's lives, the understanding of their family and their role in their community are changed forever.
Set over the course of one December in the same village as Williams' beloved THIS IS HAPPINESS, TIME OF THE CHILD is a tender return to Faha for readers who know its charms, and a heartwarming welcome to new readers entering for the very first time.

About the Book
From a fearless, internationally acclaimed activist comes an impassioned memoir about an indigenous childhood, a clash of cultures and the fight to save the Amazon rainforest.
WE WILL BE JAGUARS is an astonishing memoir by an equally astonishing woman. Nemonte Nenquimo is a winner of TIME magazine’s Earth Award, and MS. magazine named this book among the Most Anticipated Feminist Books of 2024.
Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest --- one of the last to be contacted by missionaries in the 1950s --- Nemonte Nenquimo had a singular upbringing.
She was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling and shamanism by her elders. At age 14, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened.
Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate change activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against Big Oil, protecting over a half-million acres of primary rainforest. Her message is as sharp as a spear --- honed by her experiences battling loggers, miners, oil companies and missionaries.
In WE WILL BE JAGUARS, Nemonte partners with her husband, Mitch Anderson, founder of Amazon Frontlines, digging into generations of oral history, uprooting centuries of conquest, hacking away at racist notions of indigenous peoples, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich, harsh and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself.
