People warm up in a teepee at the camp at Thunderbird House while a volunteer, below, splits firewood.
A young woman with cerebral palsy came into camp, feet white with frostbite and hands nearly frozen. Six weeks pregnant, she had lost her wheelchair while fleeing her abuser.

Volunteers set to work, bringing her into the south teepee, rubbing her hands and feet to jump-start her circulation. They gave her ski pants, a blanket, a hat and scarf and fed her. Then, they arranged for a women’s shelter to take her in.
Doctor Who s Alex Kingston Wrote a River Song Novel
The Doctor s wife, River Song, investigates a mystery in a
The Ruby s Curse: A River Song/Melody Malone Mystery. The novel dives into the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey history of River, the daughter of
Doctor Who companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams. The novel takes place in 1939 when River was a private eye going by the alias Melody Malone. When someone hires Melody to find an artifact stolen from Cleopatra s tomb, River soon finds herself under a mysterious curse.
At Childhood s End, teaming Ace with the Thirteenth Doctor. Here s the synopsis for
The Ruby s Curse, from the BBC:
Alex Kingston has written a Doctor Who novel based on her character River Song.
The 57-year-old actress – who played the companion and eventual wife of The Doctor in the iconic BBC sci-fi series from 2008 to 2015 – has penned The Ruby s Curse , which will see her alter ego join forces with her own literary creation Melody Malone.
Set in New York in 1939, private eye Melody is hired to find a stolen ruby called the Eye of Horus, which could hold the secret to finding Cleopatra s tomb – although everyone who comes into contact with it dies.
In the same year and location, River – who wrote the Melody Malone Mysteries – is forced to find the same jewel, which is a reality-altering weapon.
Doctor Who’s River Song is returning in a sci-fi noir novel that casts her as an international and interdimensional woman of mystery. Even better: our patron saint of spoilers’ new novel, The Ruby’s Curse, will be penned by Alex Kingston herself.

What could be better than diving into another River Song adventure? A River Song adventure written by none other than Alex Kingston, of course. The BBC recently revealed that the ever-popular
Doctor Who character will have her own sci-fi noir novel releasing on May 20. There are no major spoilers about the content, but the synopsis will certainly pique fans’ interest.
The Ruby’s Curse will bring River Song together with Melody Malone, her fictional alter ego and protagonist of the Melody Malone Mysteries series. The duo end up in 1939 New York to find the Eye of Horus. River believes it is a reality-altering weapon; meanwhile, Melody is simply looking for a stolen ruby that may reveal the location of Cleopatra’s tomb.
