I Didn't Cry Today

Ups and downs, good times and bad, with lots of tears and prayers in between. Searching for somethinganythingthat might make a difference. In the end, all seems lost. My child, my son, lost his life to drug addiction. No one can comprehend the pain unless they have experienced it themselves. There is a hole in your heart that can never be healed. All seemed lost, including my faith. God, however, never gave up on me. Through his amazing grace, He took me to heaven. I saw my son. I saw Jesus, and He spoke to me. I literally received a hug from God. This is my sons story. This is my story.
Highlife Saturday Night
Highlife Saturday Night captures the vibrancy of Saturday nights in Ghana—when musicians took to the stage and dancers took to the floor—in this penetrating look at musical leisure during a time of social, political, and cultural change. Framing dance band "highlife" music as a central medium through which Ghanaians negotiated gendered and generational social relations, Nate Plageman shows how popular music was central to the rhythm of daily life in a West African nation. He traces the history of highlife in urban Ghana during much of the 20th century and documents a range of figures that fueled the music's emergence, evolution, and explosive popularity. This book is generously enhanced by audiovisual material on the Ethnomusicology Multimedia website.
Shadow's Bliss
Sydney Stewart needs a man, and not just any man, she needs Joseph. Joseph is tall, handsome and Ivy League educated. He works in the stock market and tells wonderfully descriptive tales of his days traveling the globe. Sydney's friends will love Joseph; they will welcome him into their throng with open arms but there is one small problem: Joseph doesn't exist. Noel Potter has a similar issue. He needs a new boyfriend to scare off his ex, but not just any boyfriend. He needs Stefan, an underwear model with all his buttock clenching, post-meal purging and obvious hatred for anyone not body beautiful. Like Joseph, Stefan doesn't exist. Enter Daniel Bliss, a classically trained New York actor w...
The Second Star
The Parada had been lost for almost two hundred years before they recovered the ship, drifting in stygian interstellar darkness, and brought her home again. But that was not the miracle. The miracle was that the crew was still alive. That was also the problem. Six crew members went out on the Parada, Earth’s first starship. All contact was lost, and the ship vanished for almost two centuries. When the Parada’s successor found the drifting ship and somehow managed to bring it home, the six crew members were not only still alive but barely older, due to the time dilation effects of near-FTL travel. Their return was a miracle – but it could not be revealed to the waiting world. The proble...

Blodlag
Også på Øland – den langstrakte, svenske ø i Østersøen – bringer foråret lys og liv. Men i idyllen lurer dystre hemmeligheder. Ved det gamle stenbrud i Stenvik har den pensionerede skipper, Gerlof Davidsson, fået nye naboer. Han er vendt tilbage til området for at nyde forårssolen – måske for sidste gang. Men foråret bliver ikke særlig fredfyldt, for i takt med at sneen smelter, kommer gamle hemmeligheder frem. Desuden har et par af tilflytterne ikke respekteret øens uskrevne regler – de har bygget deres villaer ved stenbruddet alt for tæt på grænsen til den røde aflejring i kalkstensklippen, blodlaget, og den grænse har altid betydet ulykke. Blodlag er en del af Johan Theorins på en gang urovækkende og intense Ølandskvartet. Bogen kan læses uafhængigt af de andre bøger i serien.

Blodläge
Citat: Vendela lade händerna på stenen och kände med fingrarna i de tomma groparna. ”Folk har kommit hit i århundraden för att vila och glömma resten av världen en stund.” Per såg sig om. ”Det verkar som en bra plats för det.” ”En bra plats? Jag vet inte... Men tiden går saktare här.” Genom kalkstenen vid den öländska kusten löper blodläget, ett mörkrött stråk som man förr sades vara förstenat blod från en strid mellan trollen inne i berget och älvorna på alvaret. Ovanför klippkanten vid det övergivna stenbrottet i byn Stenvik står nybyggda lyxvillor sida vid sida med stenhuggarnas små baracker. Vid påsk, när snön smält, får flera av husen nya inv...
