And the Two Shall Become One
How do we reconcile the death sentence - specifically, a sentence of death that was pronounced on the 8th of May in 1987 - with our marriage, and more importantly, with eternallife? In order to answer this question, we need not only to lookback, but especially, to look forward.Before we were joined in marriage, we were two peoplefrom two extremely divergent backgrounds. Frank, the only childborn to affluent parents, had a childhood of privilege; Rachel,the only daughter of a couple who later divorced, had a childhoodracked with difficulties. In spite of the difficulties, Rachelbecame "one of us" - a hard-working American with a kind andgentle heart and a rock-solid belief in God. Despite the...

Original Letters and Biographic Epitomes
'Original Letters and Biographic Epitomes' is a collection of essays written by J. Atwood Slater. He wrote about the following topics: his impressions on 'Ecce Homo', Friedrich Nietzsche's book; his thoughts on the development on locomotive steam whistles; and even his swimming trip around St. Michael's Mount.
The Pain of Joy
Without darkness, light loses its meaning; our capacity for appreciating anything is proportional to the experience of its opposite. The Pain of Joy makes this exquisitely clear, as the author, Elizabeth J. Atwood, lays her heart bare. She delves into her painful experiences through a fearless exploration of her deepest fears and struggles. Far from a cheerful coming-of-age story, this is a journey into the taboo, the shameful secrets normally carefully hidden from others. By confronting (and sharing) these painful experiences with brutal honesty, the author demonstrates the strength in devastating vulnerability. Accompanied by illustrations and artwork by the poet herself, this voyage into the soul of a teen catapulted into adulthood reminds us all just how intense, vibrant, and overwhelming the process can be, speaking to a spirit of survival and hope deep within us all.

The Dialogic Self
By theorizing subjectivity according to the dialogic model of Mikhail Bakhtin, author Roxanne J.

Code Name Pauline
Pearl Witherington Cornioley, one of the most celebrated female World War II resistance fighters, shares her remarkable story in this firsthand account of her experience as a special agent for the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). Told through a series of reminiscences—from a difficult childhood spent in the shadow of World War I and her family's harrowing escape from France as the Germans approached in 1940 to her recruitment and training as a special agent and the logistics of parachuting into a remote rural area of occupied France and hiding in a wheat field from enemy fire—each chapter also includes helpful opening remarks to provide context and background on the SOE and the French Resistance. With an annotated list of key figures, an appendix of original unedited interview extracts—including Pearl's fiancé Henri's story—and fascinating photographs and documents from Pearl's personal collection, this memoir will captivate World War II buffs of any age.
