Book Description
Amidst the Iran-Iraq War, two Iraqi soldiers find themselves stationed on an isolated mountain peak with orders to observe the enemy's troop movements. As they watch the brutal destruction brought about by the intelligence they have gathered, their loyalty to their country and each other is tested. As in all wars, both Iraq and Iran demonized each other as the war raged during the 1980s. In Fortune Told in Blood, written during the mid-1990s as Iran was recovering, Davud Ghaffarzadegan labors to undo the damage caused by this process. The author, an Iranian, writes from the Iraqi perspective, thus humanizing the enemy and challenging his reader to do so as well. A deft and economical storyteller, Davud Ghaffarzadegan has received considerable critical and popular acclaim in Iran, though his work has never before been translated into English. M. R. Ghanoonparvar's exquisite translation remedies this oversight and expands the body of literature on the Iran-Iraq War available to the West.

Ever wondered who cleans the crime scene where somebody died brutally? Or crime scenes with partially of fully decomposed bodies? Meet the two sisters from Pretoria, who not only clean crime scenes but also try to relief the trauma of those left behind. Eileen de Jager and Roelien Schutte’s job is most people’s worst nightmare, but extremely important. Somebody has to do it. Fortunately, these two women perform the job with compassion and empathy. From farm attacks to family murders and suicides, you are likely to find the sisters from Crime Scene Clean-up. They come armed with the correct equipment and chemicals, but above all, also with courage and humanity. They pick up the pieces ”“ sometimes literally ”“ to allow others to carry on with their lives. It is a reality far removed from the glitz and glamour of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. This is dirty and real, and the sisters are all too aware of that after years of experience in the industry, both locally and in the United Kingdom. PLEASE NOTE: Not for sensitive readers.

Book Description
“An exciting vampire romance with a slew of fascinating paranormal characters—the good, the bad, and the unequivocally evil” from the bestselling author (Fresh Fiction). “I see a man. He is old. Very old. He will come into your life in a moment of danger. He will watch over you and protect you.” The gypsy’s hand gripped Tessa’s tighter. “He will bring you death,” she whispered, her voice like the rustle of dry leaves. “And life.” Ten years later, when Andrei Dinescu saves Tessa from a vicious attacker, she has no idea that the handsome stranger the fortune teller predicted is not a hunter but a seven-hundred-year-old vampire. Darkly powerful, unbelievably compelling, he is obviously pursuing Tessa, but is it her love he’s after or her blood? Praise for the writing of Amanda Ashley “A master of her craft.” —Maggie Shayne, New York Times–bestselling author “A classic vampire tale of sensual, spine-tingling suspense.” —Christine Feehan, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “Sexy, fast-paced, gritty, this is Amanda Ashley at her best! A must read!” —Ronda Thompson, New York Times–bestselling author

Book Description
Continuing from Volume I, Volume II intersperses numerous soldiers’ letters with those from home. The issue of slavery from both the owners and individuals is brought forth. Did colored men really serve as Confederate soldiers? Did free black men? Union soldiers described southern women as defi ant, beautiful, crude, and pitiful. Read of women aboard blockade-runners, the fall of Wilmington, Sherman’s march, Stoneman’s western raiders, and the end of the war. Did any civilians die due to these raids? Did they idly sit by as their lives and homes were destroyed? The war did come to their doorstep during the second half of the confl ict. Both Volume I and II tell something from each of the state’s 87 counties. Perhaps you may fi nd information about your ancestor among these pages. Information from period newspapers, as well as mostly unpublished letters, tell their stories.

Book Description
Life is very difficult as a teen girl, not to mention trying to live to glorify God on top of all the peer pressure that we encounter on a day-to-day basis. It is easy for us to oftentimes shy away or blend in with the crowd, but God is calling us to step out of the shadows and do otherwise. He is calling each of us to accept His grace and offer of salvation. He is also guiding us from where we are so that we can let others see His glory shining through us. We are young and the devil is constantly telling us that we are not worthy, or that no one would listen to us if we shared the gospel. The opposite is true. God knows we are capable of doing all things through Christ who strengthens us, even if we are young. Join in on the 365-day journey to change your life and the world around you for the better, so that more people can have the opportunity to rely on God’s promises. This is your time to shine, child of God. Come, read, and find rest in the One who saves, loves, and works through you. God bless you.

Book Description
Medieval England springs to life in a romance that “transcends its basic formula with a convincing setting integral to the tale and believable characters” (Publishers Weekly). Fulk de Jobourgh is a knight of the court of King William, commanded to oversee the lands of a noble who was hanged for treason. He is also instructed to marry the dead traitor’s rebellious daughter and ensure her loyalty to the king. He brings her to the altar, and to his bed, before galloping off once again to command in the King’s war. Although Alwyn, his unwilling bride, is barely able to remember the face of Fulk, she cannot forget her response to his touch. At every turn, she thwarts his efforts to take control of her father’s estate and finds herself enslaved by her passion for him. Will she be able to resist the sensual pleasure of his touch in order to save her rightful legacy and family honor?
