Looking For Lucy
The parents think it's their worst fear to lose a child, but the real nightmare begins when another Lucy is found
The Tomb Builder
Fictional account of Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph is a member of the Sanhedrin, the supreme Jewish council. In the final days of Jesus' Life, the leaders of the Sanhedrin endeavor to thwart the mission of the Savior. Joseph is torn between his newfound faith and belief in Jesus and his allegiance to the Sanhedrin, His family, and his job. Not only does he ultimately give up everything for his devotion to the gospel, but he also demonstrates the greatest act of compassion; he pleads for the body of Christ from Pontius Pilate. Joseph takes Him down from the cross, washes and annoints Him, and places HIm in Joseph's own tomb. This story demonstrates the ultimate sacrifice we, as humans, can make-giving up everything we have for the Savior.

Women's Voices in Tudor Wills, 1485–1603
Contributing an original dimension to the significant body of published scholarship on women in 16th-century England, this study examines the largest corpus of women’s private writings available to historians: their wills. In these, female voices speak out, commenting on their daily lives, on identity, gender, status, familial relationships and social engagement. Wills show women to have been active participants in a civil society, well aware of their personal authority and potential influence, whose committed actions during life and charitable strategies after death could and did impact the health of that society. From an intensive analysis of more than 1200 wills, this pioneering work fo...
Etta and Otto and Russell and James
'Writing that easily equals that of the Booker-winning Richard Flanagan...[and] as readable and gripping as any thriller.' - The Times I've gone. I've never seen the water, so I've gone there. I will try to remember to come back. Etta's greatest unfulfilled wish, living in the rolling farmland of Saskatchewan, is to see the sea. And so, at the age of eighty-two she gets up very early one morning, takes a rifle, some chocolate, and her best boots, and begins walking the 2, 000 miles to water. Meanwhile her husband Otto waits patiently at home, left only with his memories. Their neighbour Russell remembers too, but differently - and he still loves Etta as much as he did more than fifty years ago, before she married Otto.

A House for the Struggle
Buildings once symbolized Chicago's place as the business capital of Black America and a thriving hub for Black media. In this groundbreaking work, E. James West examines the city's Black press through its relationship with the built environment. As a house for the struggle, the buildings of publications like Ebony and the Chicago Defender embodied narratives of racial uplift and community resistance. As political hubs, gallery spaces, and public squares, they served as key sites in the ongoing Black quest for self-respect, independence, and civic identity. At the same time, factors ranging from discriminatory business practices to editorial and corporate ideology prescribed their location, use, and appearance, positioning Black press buildings as sites of both Black possibility and racial constraint. Engaging and innovative, A House for the Struggle reconsiders the Black press's place at the crossroads where aspiration collided with life in one of America's most segregated cities.
