In After the Silence, Kate Daniels is a high school English teacher living in Danville, Illinois. She suffers from disabling panic attacks that begin to affect her at home and school. With encouragement from her friend Leah, she seeks psychological counseling with Dr. Theresa Stile. Together, they embark on a two- year journey where Kate comes to terms with her family history and a past she has repressed. When Kate meets Michael Weston, she is forced to confront what lies beneath her paralyzing fear of intimacy. But will she be brave enough to take a risk to have the future she desperately wants? In an uncanny coincidence, a ghost from the past appears when one of her students reveals a terrifying secret. A secret Kate knows must be exposed to save them both.

Poetry. Edited by Diane Shipley DeCillis and Mary Jo Firth Gillett. The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the history of art. It continues to inspire reproduction, parody and countless theories. We see facsimiles of it everywhere: on buildings and mugs, on computer ads, in cartoons. In honor of her 500th birthday, 2003-2006, MONA POETICA celebrates not only the painting but also inspiration and creativity. This rich and varied anthology includes work by: Stephen Dunn, Grace Bauer, William Blake, Edward Hirsch, Natasha Saje and many others. Diane Shipley DeCillis is a graduate of University of Michigan whose poems have appeared in numerous journals. She also owns an award-wining art gallery in Southfield, Michigan. Mary Jo Firth Gillett's award-winning chapbooks are Not One (Detroit Writer's Voice, '98), Tiger in a Hairnet (Small Poetry Press, Select Poets Series, '99), and Chandeliers of Fish (Poetry West, '04). Her poetry also appears in the anthology of Michigan poets, New Poems from the Third Coast. Mary Jo has won the N.Y. Open Voice Poetry Award and teaches poetry workshops for Springfed Arts-Metro Detroit Writers.
Ainutlaatuisen mukaansatempaava, 54 000 vuotta kattava tarina eurooppalaisten alkuperästä, DNA:sta ja sukututkimuksesta. Teos sai Ruotsin arvostetuimman kirjallisuuden alan tunnustuksen, August-palkinnon, vuoden 2015 parhaana tietokirjana. Tiedetoimittaja Karin Bojs ryhtyi tutkimaan sukujuuriaan ja lähti seuraamaan DNA-jälkiä voidakseen sitoa oman tarinansa muinaisiin esivanhempiinsa ja selvittääkseen sukunsa vaiheet mahdollisimman kauas taaksepäin. Perusteellisen tutkimuksen tuloksena syntyi kiehtova kirja, joka ei kerro vain Karin Bojsin suvusta vaan meistä kaikista. Joskus jossain elivät viimeisimmät yhteiset esi-isämme ja -äitimme. DNA-ketjut sitovat meidät yhteen. Sen lisÃ...
Whether a death is sudden or anticipated, losing a loved one shakes us to our very core, destroying our belief in a just, safe, and predictable world. Grief often changes us quickly both physically and mentally. It is like being kidnapped and suddenly transported to a foreign land without luggage, a passport, or the language to make sense of what's happening. Even if you have a road map for getting through the pain and anguish, you still have to take the trip. The purpose of this book is to help you find threads of hope that will assist your recovery and help you carry on. By sharing inspirational stories, personal experiences, and professional advice from contributors to theOpen to Hope website, we trust that you will be comforted and inspired by learning how others dealt with their losses, what they saw as roadblocks, and how they handled them as well as what it has taken for them to not only survive, but thrive. We want to help you resume leading the life that you were meant to live--a life of satisfaction and one driven by a belief in your own personal power for change.
"John Davenant's hypothetical universalism has consistently been misinterpreted and misrepresented as a via media between Arminianism and Reformed theology. This study examines Bishop John Davenant's hypothetical universalism in the context of early modern Reformed orthodoxy. In light of the various misunderstandings of early modern hypothetical universalism, including English hypothetical universalism, as well as the paucity of studies touching on the theology of John Davenant in particular, this dissertation: (1) Gives a detailed exposition of Davenant's doctrine of universal redemption in dialogue with his understanding of closely related doctrines such as God's will, predestination, prov...
