Book Description
Celebrating her Arrival is an ode to women who were, are and will be. It is the tears to every silent cry, the scream to every mum mouth. A celebration to every mourn, held in the name of a daughter's birth. It is a loud praise to our queen makers, and a silent laud to our queens (usually in that soft smile). It is a nudge to the strings of pleasure, pain, joy and sorrow within our hearts that someone else touched for us.

Book Description
From the time I was a child I sought a God who loved me just as I was. I found the all-caring God and Savior, Jesus Christ when I was 27 years old, in a moment of despair, coming off of alcohol, speed and marijuana. I finally began living a life worth living, a life worthy of my Jesus dying on the Cross. I now know that whoever you are, whatever you've done, Jesus is waiting for you to come back to His arms, stains and all. This is the story of my journey seeking and finding the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ.

Book Description
Melville's second book, "Omoo, " begins where his first book, "Typee, " left off. As the author said, "It embraces adventures in the South Seas (of a totally different character from 'Typee') and includes an eventful cruise in an English Colonial Whaleman (a Sydney Ship) and a comical residence on the island of Tahiti." The popular success of his first novel encouraged Melville to write a sequel, hoping it would be "a fitting successor." "Typee "describes Polynesian life in its "primitive" state, while "Omoo" represents it as affected by non-native influences. This scholarly edition aims to present a text as close to the author's intention as surviving evidence permits. Based on collations of all editions publishing during Melville's lifetime, it incorporates author corrections and many emendations made by the present editors. This edition of "Omoo" is an Approved Text of the Center for Editions of American Authors (Modern Language Association of America).
