Book Description
Shiloh isn't like most little girls in Winchester, Georgia, but then, neither is Sally Mae. As the wealthy owner of the Desperate Beauty Salon, a beauty parlor with stories as humorous as its name, Sally Mae never refuses service to anyone. Perhaps this is why it should come as no surprise that she adopts Shiloh, a colored child, in the tumultuous and racially charged sixties. Sally Mae, better known simply as Mama, knows Shiloh is special. With a budding artistic eye and steady hand, Shiloh is picked to be plucked into the New York arts high society. However, Mama knows the rest of the world isn't as safe as home and struggles with holding her baby back or releasing her into the world. With the arrival in Winchester of a mysterious man, resembling Shiloh in more ways than skin color, all wonder what the future will reveal. Told through Shiloh's colorblind lens, we follow a close-knit Georgia clan of family and friends through bittersweet summers at The Big M Ranch, love in unlikely places, and friends as colorful as Mama's infamous red mane. With a society not quite ready to get past prejudices, confidences become more sacred than marriage vows, and friendships built on the front porch remain just as important as new lovesa "all painted through peach colored lenses."

Book Description
This book is written for people who really believe in their heart-or who really want to believe-that God's highest ideal is for men and women to operate in a full and equal partnership, yet have been led to believe that the Bible teaches otherwise. In both the original creation and in the new creation God has an ideal for the genders-full and equal partnership under God's headship. Equally Yoked examines the teaching of the Bible on this critical topic and makes the case that this ideal of partnership is biblical; and that reclaiming this ideal is essential for the church to fulfill its end-time mandate to partner with God in seeing His Kingdom come to earth. Why another book about men and women? Rick does a great job explaining why. I applaud this effort to pour more support and reason into a long overdue change in the modern day church. Men and women all over the world will applaud you as well. Thank you! Danny Silk Family Life Pastor Bethel Church, Redding, CA Rick McKinniss has written a book that should engage every serious Bible student who has struggled with the issue of gender and the Kingdom of God. Refusing to dodge either the difficult texts or the cultural contexts, this volume responsibly examines the whole perspective of Scripture concerning the roles of men and women. Dr. James Mason Professor Emeritus Bethel Seminary St. Paul, MN Rick McKinniss is the Senior Leader of Wellspring Church in Kensington, CT and is recognized as a servant-leader to pastors throughout Connecticut. He is a former adjunct professor of preaching at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, MN where he earned two theological degrees. He and his wife Debbie have been married for 36 yers and have four grown children.

Book Description
When a baby’s skeleton is discovered during an urban renewal project, DNA databases identify the child’s parents. Michael, now a judge, claims that he and Margo were teenage “friends with benefits.” But Margo, a housewife, claims Michael raped her repeatedly, resulting in a still-born baby that she buried in secret when she was only seventeen years old. Then, a second skeleton—this one an adult—is found at the same building site. As Police Detectives Bartholomew Jones and Helen Martin peel away the layers hiding the truth behind the possible homicide, they discover evidence linking several players in the second case to the baby’s case: Is Margo possibly the killer of the unidentified man? Why did her estranged sister help to bury the man’s body? Why is the victim’s skeleton missing its little finger?

Book Description
Taking place over a single summer at an abandoned Massachusetts summer camp, this “sun–saturated tale of love and longing” explores the sting of seduction and how desire and ambition can shift through time and experience (Chicago Tribune). After Emily inherits an abandoned summer camp in Massachusetts just before her fortieth birthday, she and her husband David move onto the property with grand plans to fix it up. Instead, Emily finds herself drifting, grieving her recent miscarriage and her own perceived lack of ambition, while David works in the city. Until the day Emily discovers that their new property includes an unexpected guest. Living undetected in one of the cabins is a magnetic twenty–two–year–old named Stella. Their immediate and intense connection expands and contracts over the course of an single summer, calling all of Emily’s relationships, including her marriage, into closer scrutiny. As the two women begin spending time together―talking and drinking, swimming in the lake, watching seductive French films through long afternoons―Emily finds herself playing at performing various roles relative to Stella: friend, mother, lover. Each encounter they share promises to bring Emily a little closer to an understanding of her own identity, but it also puts her marriage and future at risk. How much does she really know about Stella? Why is Stella here, and what does she want, and what might she take with her, if and when she leaves? Named one of the best books of the summer by O, The Oprah Magazine, this “sun–saturated tale of love and longing” is a “smart, funny, nuanced and seductive” read (Chicago Tribune). Startling yet dreamlike, The Summer Demands marks Deborah Shapiro as a master at capturing complex relationships and the electricity of what passes unsaid between people.
