Book Description
How long does it take for scars to heal? How long does it take for a scarred memory to fester and rise to the surface? For Marubini, the question is whether scars ever heal when you forget they are there to begin with. Marubini is a young woman who has an enviable life in Cape Town, working at a wine farm and spending idyllic days with her friends ... until her past starts spilling into her present. Something dark has been lurking in the shadows of Marubini's life from as far back as she can remember. It's only a matter of time before it reaches out and grabs at her. The Yearning is a memorable exploration of the ripple effects of the past, of personal strength and courage, and of the shadowy intersections of traditional and modern worlds.

Book Description
Love letters are potent. They breathe. They speak. They can arouse, comfort, captivate. They can also cut deep. The powerful, deeply personal letters collected here reveal the painful underside of love. Witness Winston Churchill 'growl with anger to be treated with benevolent indifference' and Edith Piaf reel in the throes of a 'terrible' passion. Through the letters of literary icons Charlotte Brontë, Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf, Hollywood stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and statesmen Henry VIII and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Yours Always offers an unusually intimate insight into the lives of such illustrious figures. Love is revealed here in its many shades of disharmony and confusion: unrequited, uncertain, imbalanced, unconventional, thwarted, failed and forbidden. Love is not always rose-tinted, and Yours Always illuminates the sorrows that can accompany falling in, falling out, and staying in love. Includes letter to and from: Charlotte Brontë, Richard Burton, Lord Byron, Winston Churchill, Marie Curie, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Henry VIII, Ted Hughes, Graham Greene, Franz Kafka, Marilyn Monroe, Iris Murdoch, Edith Piaf, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Elizabeth Taylor, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, W.B. Yeats

Book Description
PSYCHE'S YEARNING: Radical Perspectives on Self Transformation By Gillian Ross Humankind is being called to bring forth a new level of consciousness, a new story around what it means to be human . Gillian Ross has written a rich, evocative book about the journey towards liberation. She emerges from the lived depth of her own sacred autobiography cooked in the knowing of her heart and guided by the great books as read and understood by her wise eyes. It is both the story of us all and the story of your sacred autobiography. Read it and be inspired to realize the infinite joy, obligation and depth of your Unique Self. Dr. Marc Gafni, best selling author, rabbi and teacher of Kabbalah and World Spirituality. Besieged by the messages of consumerism, disillusioned with traditional religion, and faced with the possibility of planetary disaster, our souls are more than ever yearning for purpose and a sense of wholeness and holiness in a fragmented secular world. Weaving her text around the symbolic wisdom of the ancient Greek myth of Psyche and Eros, author Gillian Ross offers personally inspired guidance and inspiration on ways of transcending the pain and limitations of our alienated ego. She invites us to step into the transpersonal domain of the mystic and embrace our identity as a unique expression of a Transcendent Evolutionary Impulse. The Introduction, sets the stage for this with a quotation from the popular Buddhist teacher Sogyal Rinpoche; the aim of life is to embody the Transcendent. It could be said that the rest of the book explores what that means and how it can be achieved. Beginning with her own journey of transformation, including recovery from alcohol abuse, Gillian powerfully conveys the message that an awakened consciousness is no longer the prerogative of the saint or the shaman but a birthright we must all claim if we are to find the collective will to serve the earth community and its myriad life forms with wisdom, compassion and joy. Psyche's Yearning is an inspirational contribution to the growing recognition of the power of meditation as a source of health and wellbeing. Dr Samuel Sagan, founder of the Clairvision School of Meditation. She is the author of several successful relaxation, meditation and yoga CDs and two books on spiritual evolution, The Search for the Pearl and Is There Life Before Death? Gillian migrated to Australia in the sixties. She lives on a 40 acre property of great natural beauty in Northern New South Wales which she is nurturing as a place for spiritual retreats and as an educational Centre for Conscious Evolution. Psyche's Yearning can be bought through on-line outlets such as Amazon Books but can also be purchased directly from Gillian for $20 inclusive of postage anywhere in Australia. A free download of the introduction and prologue is available from her website www.drgillianross.com

Book Description
It’s 1978 in an Australian country town and a dreamy teenaged girl’s world is turned upside down by the arrival of the substitute English teacher. Solomon Andrews is beautiful, inspiring and she wants him like nothing else she’s wanted in her short life. Charismatic and unconventional, Solomon easily wins the hearts and minds of his third form English class. He notices the attention of one girl, his new neighbour, who has taken to watching him from her upstairs window. He assumes it is a harmless teenage crush, until the erotic love notes begin to arrive. Solomon knows he must resist, but her sensual words stir him. He has longings of his own, although they have nothing to do with love, or so he believes. One afternoon, as he stands reading her latest offering in his driveway, she turns up unannounced. And what happens next will torment them forever - in ways neither can imagine.

Book Description
For bell hooks, the best cultural criticism sees no need to separate politics from the pleasure of reading. Yearning collects together some of hooks's classic and early pieces of cultural criticism from the '80s. Addressing topics like pedagogy, postmodernism, and politics, hooks examines a variety of cultural artifacts, from Spike Lee's film Do the Right Thing and Wim Wenders's film Wings of Desire to the writings of Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison. The result is a poignant collection of essays which, like all of hooks's work, is above all else concerned with transforming oppressive structures of domination.
