Book Description
Lisette Auburn, a lovechild, was born out of wedlock against family orders. She grew up with her mother’s love and devotion, and her cousins' friendship, but high family expectations and well-kept secrets hung over her like dark shadows. Now a young woman, her happy life is turned upside down when a tragic death of a close relative opens a Pandora’s box of trouble. She finds herself caught in the middle of fierce conflict as the family's strength is put to the test and the elders' power challenged. For generations the elders have controlled with firm, unyielding hands, expecting them to live as dictated, but times have changed. Facing rebellion and division, the elders are forced to come to terms with their smothering love and domination to witness the fatal results in their children. No one is safe from the secrets or the pain unleashed, and no one is prepared for the destruction to come. Meanwhile, an unseen entity watches and guides them as a horrible chain of events sends their lives out of control. Will love and blood ties be enough to save them from themselves? Or will they need something, or someone, more powerful?

Book Description
How to invite God to step in and break the cycle of dysfunction Elizabeth Oates is no stranger to a dysfunctional family. She may look like the quintessential soccer mom now, but her childhood was full of uncertainty, abandonment, and many very dark days. Without a positive role model, an emotionally stable family member, or a consistent community, she had to forge her way ahead just to survive day to day. It wasn't until she was preparing for a family of her own that she began to learn the lessons that would lead to a more hopeful future for herself, her husband, and her children. Now she shares those lessons with other women struggling to create healthy families despite their own unhealthy family foundations. Through introspective and probing questions, Mending Broken Branches guides the reader to accept her past, understand her present, and find a vision for her future. The interactive design includes space to work through the journaling prompts provided, as well as extra-wide margins for notes of reflection while reading. With the gentle voice of a trusted mentor, Elizabeth encourages and equips women to cultivate strong, flourishing, God-honoring lives, and to break the cycle of dysfunction.

Book Description
"Michel Leiris has had a substantial influence on French culture for many years--as a poet and a member of the surrealists, as an art critic, and as an anthropologist. His great contributions to modern letter are his works of confessional autobiography, the best known of which, MANHOOD (North Point, 1984), has been described by the eminent poet and translator Richard Howard as "one of the central texts of what we call modernity." In Brisées Leiris has gathered together short nonfiction pieces written throughout his career. The wide range of topics Leiris addresses in these fifty-one essays gives testimony to the vast arena of his curiosity. Here are essays on Joan Miró, Arnold Schoenberg, the Fox Movietone Follies, Jean Arp, ethnography, Fred Astaire, alchemy, Erik Satie's humor, Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Eluard, Claude Lévi-Strauss, "Mouth Water," Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, "Man and His Insides," opera, Georges Bataille, and others." -- Publisher's description
