The Mother
As a child of the temple, Alandra's goal is simple: to please the Mothers who raised her. When sent on a mission, she knows she must obey without question, no matter who is to be punished or how. Until the face of a victim brings back memories she didn't know she'd lost, and changes everything.
The Cursed
Magic cannot be used without consequences, that's why you need a license to use it. But if your child was suffering because of the backlash of someone else's spell, could you stand by and do nothing? Wouldn't you want to save them, no matter what the cost? This is a dark tale of magic, desperation and revenge.

Uncaged Destiny
Cage spends her days inside the emotional walls she's so carefully built as her only defense against old memories of rejection and abuse. Cage patches together a life out of an incompatible mixture of religious traditions and fleeting moments of physical contact, as she tries to ignore the emptiness inside. Cage simply does not know how to let go of her past on her own. Then she meets Pyrs. From the beginning, their friendship allows Cage to escape the burden from her past experiences and choices that left her scarred and broken. But after lines are crossed during one emotional and eye-opening night at the beach, decisions must be made. Should hidden secrets be revealed or kept hidden? Now that Cage has learned to trust Pyrs, does their relationship stand a chance? As she figures out her direction, Cage soon must face the fact that her voluntary cage may be a reflection of her strained and under-developed relationship with God. The first in a series by Lisa Farrell, this inspirational romance presents love with all its real-world faults. If Cage can just extricate herself from her self-imposed jail, she may just discover that her future is full of promise.

People Get Ready
Throughout this book, Kevin Meehan offers historical and theoretical readings of Caribbean and African American interaction from the 1700s to the present. By analyzing travel narratives, histories, creative collaborations, and political exchanges, he traces the development of African American/Caribbean dialogue through the lives and works of four key individuals: historian Arthur Schomburg, writer/archivist Zora Neale Hurston, poet Jayne Cortez, and politican Jean-Bertrand Aristide. People Get Ready examines how these influential figures have reevaluated popular culture, revised the relationship between intellectuals and everyday people, and transformed practices ranging from librarianship and anthropology to poetry and broadcast journalism. This discourse, Meehan notes, is not free of contradictions, and misunderstandings arise on both sides. In addition to noting dialogues of unity, People Get Ready focuses on instances of intellectual elitism, sexim, color, prejudice, imperialism, national, chauvinism, and other forms of mutual disdain that continue to limit African American and Caribbean solidarity.
What’s France got to do with it?
While only one book-length memoir recounting the sojourn of an Australian in France was published in the 1990s, well over 40 have been published since 2000, overwhelmingly written by women. Although we might expect a focus on travel, intercultural adjustment and communication in these texts, this is the case only in a minority of accounts. More frequently, France serves as a backdrop to a project of self-renovation in which transplantation to another country is incidental, hence the question ‘What’s France got to do with it?’ The book delves into what France represents in the various narratives, its role in the self-transformation, and the reasons for the seemingly insatiable demand among readers and publishers for these stories. It asks why these memoirs have gained such traction among Australian women at the dawn of the twenty-first century and what is at stake in the fascination with France.
