Book Description
The struggle--for power, wealth, and souls--in the crumbling Soviet Empire Passing through Florian's Gate...having discovered the Amber Room...T. Davis Bunn now takes his readers to the Winter Palace! Jeffrey Sinclair is on top of the world. He is growing in professional success in the antiques trade, in his spiritual quest for a better understanding of God, and in his love for the beautiful Katya. But his world is suddenly shaken when his mentor Alexander falls ill, leaving Jeffrey to take on new responsibilities. What begins as an enjoyable honeymoon visit to Monte Carlo, ends with a mysterious assignment to reclaim a deposed Russian nobleman's winter palace. Thrust into the turbulence of modern-day St. Petersburg, Jeffrey's search constantly links him to the riches of its tsarist history. Here he confronts the dangerous collusion that has emerged between former Communist Party members, KGB agents, and self-styled "Mafia" gangs of criminals and black-marketers. But most striking to him is the material and spiritual hunger which gnaws at the people. Who will meet this incredible need? And is it just the estate Count Markov seeks to recover, or is there something more?

Book Description
Amber-Rose Collier had a rough childhood, and if it were not for her faith, the chains of addiction that held her parents would bind her too. She found Jesus at an early age and was blessed to be adopted by Christian parents. They take her away from the orphanage in the impoverished coal-mining town where she was born and her mother was killed during one of her father's drunken rages. Amber loves her new family but is without her older sister and younger brother, who had been adopted separately. Then, just one year after her older sister found her, she is blinded in an accident. Her sister, filled with guilt, stays out of her life. Amber pushes away her fiance, convinced it would be unfair to marry him. With the help of the Braille Institute, she sees herself in a new light and decides to marry Mason Powell. They have children, even though his mother is against it. She would endure other trials, which only served to strengthen her faith. She and her daughter, Rae, become beacons of hope in their community. Night Blooming Jasmine is the first book in the Shadow of the Steeples series. "Lisa Keck's debut novel, Night Blooming Jasmine, is hauntingly sweet, much like its title. From the first page until the last, Keck carries her readers along on a painful but positive journey, one that brings victory from ashes and triumph from heartache. I look forward to more offerings from this talented author " -Kathi Macias (www.kathimacias.com), multi-award-winning author of forty books, including Golden Scrolls 2011 Novel of the Year, Red Ink

Book Description
This volume addresses cultural and literary narratives of trauma in South Asian literature. Presenting a novel cross-cultural perspective on trauma theory, the essays within this volume study the divergent cultural responses to trauma and violence in various parts of South Asia, including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Afghanistan, which have received little attention in literary writings on trauma in their specific circumstances. Through comprehensive sociocultural understanding of the region, this book creates an approachable space where trauma engages with themes like racial identity, ethnicity, nationality, religious dogma, and cultural environment. With case studies from Kashmir, the 1971 liberation war of Bangladesh, and armed conflict in Nepal and Afghanistan, the volume will be of interest to scholars, students and researchers of literature, history, politics, conflict studies, and South Asian studies.

Book Description
Write to Celebrate, Heal, and Free the Wild Woman Within In her years as a writing coach, Judy Reeves has found twin urges in women: they yearn to reclaim a true nature that resides below the surface of daily life and to give it voice. The longing to express this wild, authentic nature is what informs Reeves’s most popular workshop and now this workshop in a book. Here, you will explore the stages that make up your life, from wild child, daughter/sister/mother, and loves and lovers, to creative work, friendships, and how the wise woman encounters death. Both intuitive and practical, Wild Women, Wild Voices responds to women’s deep need for expression with specific and inspiring activities, exercises, and writing prompts. With true empathy, Reeves invites, instructs, and celebrates the authentic expression — even the howl — of the wild in every woman.
