Book Description
A “very intelligent, sensitive, and compelling” novel of adolescent rebellion and sexual awakening at a girls’ boarding school (Anthony Burgess). Set in a repressive British girls’ boarding school in the late 1920s—where not only sexuality but femininity is squashed—Rosemary Manning’s “wonderful” 1962 novel is the coming-of-age story of sixteen-year-old Rachel, a sensitive, bright, and innocent student (The Guardian). Rachel finds refuge from the Spartan conditions, strict regime, fierce discipline, and formidable headmistress at Bampfield in a secret garden. She also finds friendship there, with a rebellious girl named Margaret. As Margaret has her mind expanded by a scandalous tome entitled The Well of Loneliness, she engages in a bold, forbidden act—the ultimate transgression at Bampfield—and Rachel is drawn into the turmoil. Confronted with the persecution of her friend and troubled by a growing awareness of her own sensuality, Rachel faces an impossible choice that drives her to desperate measures. Selected as one of the Top 10 Lesbian Books by the Guardian, “Rosemary Manning’s unjustly forgotten novel is a deft depiction of innocence and the forces of hypocrisy, paranoia, and self-hatred that betray innocence” (Lillian Faderman, author of Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers).

Growing up, my beautiful daughter, Rocky, wasn't much interested in the local boys, but who'd have thought she'd come home with English royalty? In Last Chance Beauty Queen, we meet Hugh, who's classy and handsome-but what do we know about him, really? I'm going to get to the bottom of everything, cause my little girl deserves the best. And at long last, my prayers might just be answered for my oldest boy, Stone! He's a widower who raises his daughters by himself but, in Last Chance Christmas, he meets a lovely girl named Lark. It's clear Lark has been through some trouble and could use a place to finally call home. I only hope Stone can let go of his own past soon enough to keep her. Listen to me, going on and keeping customers waiting. I best get back to work, but next time you're in Last Chance, be sure to swing by. We've got hot rollers, free coffee, and the best gossip in town. See you real soon, Ruby Rhodes

Book Description
Women all over the world are feeling the call to awaken, to tap into their God-given creative powers. Any religion that would silence that call is just too small for the life that is emerging. A Double Portion speaks to the realization of the Divine Feminine as experienced by a group of sisters who have followed an ancient call and gather around Brigid, a fifth-century historical figure considered both Goddess and Saint. This work of visionary fiction follows the path of each sister as she tends to the flames of justice, offering a way forward for all who are seeking to dismantle unjust patriarchal ways. Warmed by Brigid’s flame, the reader will be forever challenged to include those left out, devalued, deemed invisible, or moved to the margins. Around the world, women are arising who refuse to be silenced by the patriarchy and clericalism that have denied women their rightful place in church and society. A Double Portion insists all will be provided for and offered a double portion under the mantle of Brigid. Smart, clever, funny, and just, A Double Portion is for women and men who know the power of building collaborative relationships that call on each individual's giftedness. In times of uncertainty, existing inequalities must be amplified, and everyone must speak up despite their fear. This novel provides a clear and powerful feminist vision of empowerment for all.

Book Description
A thousand years ago, a sacred prophecy was split between two beings—one good and the other evil. Now, as the citizens of Eret prepare for the millennial celebration of their creation, the race for their allegiance draws near. From the far west, in the Valley of Shadows, Lord Abaylin seeks the prophesied Phalyadin to destroy him. From the east, in the Temple of Balance, Master Josiah seeks to protect him. Unfortunately, thousands of citizens who lie in between will soon fall at the hand of Lord Abaylin unless the Phayladin rises in time to protect them. In celebration of the millennium, the king of Bodain and the king of Todere decide to unite their two kingdoms in the marriage of their children, Prince Morgan and Princess Lillian, but with the prophecy of the Phayladin revealed, the king of Bodain is sought out to help recover the prophecy. Certain that the prophecy identifies the prince of Bodain as the Phalyadin, Master Josiah convinces the king of Bodain to let Prince Morgan accompany him in the battle, so the wedding is put on hold until Prince Morgan and Master Josiah are able to lead the army of Bodain back home. Is Prince Morgan truly the Phalyadin? Will he accept this role in time to save the citizens of Eret? Or will Lord Abaylin's harshest general and fifteen thousand soldiers trample right through the area surrounding the Great Divide, slaughtering everyone in their quest to halt the Rise of the Phalyadin? Immerse yourself in the fantasy world of Eret and be a part of the first book in The Accounts of Amari Series—Rise of the Phalyadin, an allegorical novel with themes of faith, courage, wisdom, and redemption.
