Distorted Minds
On a hot summer day in 1973, 19-year old Swedish-American girl Jenny, living in Mora, Minnesota, loses her family in a spooky hit-and-run car accident. In order to come to terms with her loss, she goes to sea. But she soon, however, changes her mind. She decides to look for her roots in Mora in Dalarna, Sweden, her Granddad Wally ́s native village. On her way to Mora, Jenny gets attacked and loses her memory. Who is she? And from where does she come? Young police assistant Sven finds Jenny unconscious in the forest. The two youngsters soon form a deep friendship, which later develops into love. Sven learns that his upbringing is based on a lie. His Mum is not at all the one he had believed. Will Sven find his real parents? And who killed Jenny ́s father and brother? Another woman, who twenty years earlier had lived with the Amish people, is searching for her family. Will she find them?

The Glitter Scene
Teenage Johanna lives with her aunt Solveig in a small house bordering the forest on the outskirts of a remote coastal town in Finland. She leads a lonely existence that is punctuated by visits to her privileged classmate, Ulla Bäckström, who lives in the nearby luxury gated community. It isn’t until Ulla tells her the local lore about the American girl and the tragedy that took place more than thirty years before that Johanna begins to question how her parents fit into the story. She sets out to unravel her family history, the identity of her mother, and the dark secrets long buried with her father. In the process of opening closed doors, others in the community reflect back on the town’s history, on their youth, and on the dreams that play in their minds. Soon a new story emerges, that stirs up Johanna’s greatest fears, but ultimately leads to the answers she is searching for. The Glitter Scene is a riveting mystery that explores the roles of truth and myth, reality and fiction, and the repercussions of family secrets.
The Making of Manhood among Swedish Missionaries in China and Mongolia, c.1890-c.1914
Over the last thirty years, issues of gender have been creatively explored within the field of mission studies. Whereas the life and work of female missionaries have been fruitfully reflected upon, male gender identity has often been understood as an unchanging category. This book offers a pioneering account of the relationship between missionary work and masculinity. By examining four individual men this study explores how self-making occurred within foreign missions, but also how conceptions of male gender informed missionary work. Changes that occurred in the lives of these men are placed within the broader context of how issues of gender were renegotiated within the contemporary missionary movement.
