The Summer My Sister Was Cleopatra Moon
by Frances ParkThe Summer My Sister Was Cleopatra Moon is an emotionally charged, cautionary tale about alienation and the spiritual deformity that ensues when it feels like the whole world hates you. In the summer of '76, with no other Koreans in Glover, Virginia, fourteen-year-old Marcy Moon idolizes her irreverent big sister Cleo, who has her pick of lovers and uses her sexuality to prevail against racism. In Marcy's eyes, every guy would cut off his ponytail, burn his guitar and shoot old ladies if you told him to. Her dream, a dangerous one, is to be like Cleo. Central to the story is the girls' inability to bond with their mom, who left her heart behind in North Korea and finds it difficult to love her daughters the way a mother should. Most heartbreaking is the sisters' love for their dad, a complicated and worldly man who wants to be the best father and provider, but, in the end, cannot escape his demons.

Spin Cycles (Gemma Open Door)
by Charles CoeBrilliant, homeless and nearly invisible, a young man wanders through Boston, looking for meaning and hope. Extreme mood swings and an unusual outlook on life make it impossible for him to thrive in mainstream society. He finds comfort in laundromats, where he calms himself by watching clothes tumble round and round and round. And in the streets he finds other people like himself, below the radar, laboring to survive. Poignant and buoyant, Spin Cycles is a story of loss, discovery, and, just possibly, redemption.
Göttertraum (Jenseits des Olymps)
by Tina FolsomEine verschmähte Sterbliche mit einem geheimen Plan. Ein Gott, der seiner Erinnerungen beraubt wurde und reif für eine Lektion in Sachen Liebe ist. Dionysos, der hedonistische Gott des Weines und der Ekstase, macht mit seiner neuesten sterblichen Eroberung, Ariadne, Schluss und tut ihre erste und einzige leidenschaftliche Nacht als bedeutungslos ab. Aber die Göttin Hera hat genug von seiner Herzlosigkeit. In einem schnellen Akt göttlicher Intervention raubt sie Dionysos seine Erinnerungen, in der Hoffnung, ihm die Bedeutung von Demut beizubringen. Ariadne ist von Dionysos' grausamer Zurückweisung verletzt und will nichts mehr mit dem arroganten Gott zu tun haben. Aber als sie ihn blutüberströmt, zusammengeschlagen und unter Amnesie leidend auffindet, keimt ein schelmischer Plan in ihr. Sie nutzt die Gelegenheit, gibt sich als seine Verlobte aus und webt ein Netz aus vorgetäuschter Zuneigung. Je tiefer die Täuschung vordringt, desto mehr verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Vortäuschung und echten Gefühlen, und Ariadne fühlt sich unerwartet zu dem nun verletzlichen Gott hingezogen. Aber was wird passieren, wenn Dionysos seine Erinnerungen zurückerlangt?

The Ministry of the Spirit: Selected Writings of Roland Allen (Roland Allen Library)
by Roland AllenRoland Allen is internationally renowned for his controversial solutions to dilemmas within churches and missions. His works were first written in the first decade of the twentieth century, yet their ideas are so radical that they are still relevanttoday. Indeed, Allen predicted that his principles would not be broadly accepted until around fifty years after their creation. This selection of works by this mission pioneer and creative thinker takes extracts from Allen's other writings, which although having potential to be just as influential as those better known, have long been out of print. It is now the present-day reader's chance to investigate the theories within texts such as: Pentecost and the World, Non-Professional Missionaries, Mission Activities Considered in Relation to the Manifestation of the Spirit, St. Paul and the Judaizers: A Dialogue, An Illustration from V.S. Azariah, The Case for Voluntary Clergy and To the Parishioners of Chalfont St. Peter. Throughout all of these writings is Allen's central belief that the Holy Spirit is in the Church everywhere. This selection of texts makes an ideal accompaniment to Allen's significant works on missionary methods and principles, including: Missionary Methods: St Paul's or Ours?; Missionary Principles; The Spontaneous Expansion of the Church all of which have been reprinted by The Lutterworth Press
Eric Ravilious: Memoir of an Artist
by Helen BinyonEric Ravilious was among the foremost of English artists to emerge between the wars - and one of the great original wood engravers. His body of work was wide-ranging and multi-faceted; in his relatively short career after he left the Royal College of Art he produced an extraordinary amount of work - murals, watercolours, wood engravings, lithographs, pottery designs for Wedgwood. Successful and enterprising as he was in these diverse fields, it was in the field of landscape painting in watercolour that Ravilious excelled. His tragic and untimely death in 1942, while on service as an Official War Artist, meant that his great promise was never fulfilled and it has been left to Helen Binyon to present this fascinating study of the artist to aworld largely unaware of his presence. The author knew Ravilious well from their student days and has been able to draw upon her intimate knowledge of this vivid and exciting artist to make this a compelling account of a genius.Eric Ravilious is introduced by Richard Morphet, former Keeper of Modern Art at the Tate Gallery, who places Ravilious in the context of modern-day appreciation of his work and describes the close relationship between Eric Ravilious and Helen Binyon, which led her to write this illuminating book.The book is lavishly illustrated with examples of Ravilious's work from his student days to his powerfully realised drawings and paintings as an Official War Artist.
Sleepless in Scotland: Pennington Family Series (Pennington Family Series)
by Jan Coffey May McGoldrickPennington family Series A WOUNDED HERO... A WOMAN WITH SECRETS... A KILLER LURKING IN THE MISTS... SCANDAL, LOVE, AND THE HAND OF FATE... Captain Ian Bell is a tortured man fighting through grief and guilt over the loss of his sister. Now, three years later, Ian still hunts for her murderer in the dangerous criminal underworld of Edinburgh. Then one night, a young woman narrowly escapes death and lands at his feet...his late sister's best friend, Phoebe Pennington. Lady Phoebe Pennington—dreamer and storyteller to her family—is a committed reformer writing articles anonymously for an Edinburgh newspaper. One night, Phoebe descends into the corrupt and seething netherworld known as the Vaults. When she tries to save a street urchin from an assailant, she becomes the target of a violent attack, only to be saved by the one man she has desired for years. Ian's attraction to Phoebe is as undeniable as it is unexpected, and she awakens in him passions he thought long dead. Phoebe's blood burns for Ian, but when she learns that he may be implicated in the scandal she is set on exposing, she finds herself torn between love and truth. But fate is taking a hand, for Phoebe is the only one who has seen the face of the killer, and the shadows of evil are closer than they imagine.
Gabriels Gefährtin (Scanguards Vampire)
by Tina FolsomNachdem Maya gegen ihren Willen in einen Vampir verwandelt wird, ist es die Aufgabe des Scanguards Vampirs und Bodyguards Gabriel, sie zu beschützen und ihren Angreifer zu finden. Gabriel hat nie zuvor einen solch perfekten Körper beschützt wie Mayas. Es fällt ihm schwer, Mayas verführerischer Mischung aus Verletzlichkeit und Stärke zu widerstehen. Doch widerstehen muss er. Selbst als die sexuelle Spannung zwischen ihnen steigt und Mayas Angreifer ihnen auf den Fersen ist, weigert Gabriel sich, seinem Verlangen nachzugeben. Trotz der Intimitäten, die sie teilen, fürchtet Gabriel, dass Maya wie alle anderen Frauen reagieren wird, wenn er sich ihr offenbart: Sie wird vor ihm zurückschrecken und ihn ein Monster nennen, eine Kreatur, die es nicht wert ist, geliebt zu werden. Oder hat er in Maya die einzige Frau gefunden, die alles schätzt, was Gabriel zu bieten hat? Lara Adrian, New York Times Bestseller Autorin der Midnight Breed Serie: "Ich bin süchtig nach Tina Folsoms Büchern! Die Scanguards Serie ist eine der heißesten Sachen, die es bei Vampirliebesromanen gibt. Wenn Sie glühend heiße, sich rasant entwickelnde Romane lieben, dann verpassen Sie diese packende Serie nicht!" Über die Serie Die Scanguards Vampirserie ist voll von rasanter Action, brennenden Liebesszenen, witzigen Dialogen und starken Helden und Heldinnen. Vampir Samson Woodford lebt in San Francisco und besitzt die Sicherheits-/Leibwächterfirma Scanguards, die sowohl Vampire als auch Menschen beschäftigt. Und letztendlich auch einige Hexer. Später in der Serie tauchen auch ein paar unsterbliche Hüter und Dämonen auf. Jedes Buch kann als alleinstehender Roman gelesen werden (keine Cliffhanger) und dreht sich immer um ein neues Paar, das die Liebe findet, aber die Serie macht mehr Spaß, wenn sie chronologisch gelesen wird.
