“Never underestimate the power of a group of women. Fierce, thoughtful and dramatic—this is a story of true courage." —Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author She would stop at nothing to protect the women under her care. Inside a century-old row house in Brooklyn, renegade Sister Evelyn and her fellow nuns preside over a safe haven for the abused and abandoned. Gruff and indomitable on the surface, warm and wry underneath, little daunts Evelyn, until she receives word that Mercy House will be investigated by Bishop Hawkins, a man with whom she shares a dark history. In order to protect everything they’ve built, the nuns must conceal many of their methods, which are forbidden ...
Escrever este livro foi um exercício prazeroso e interessante. Revisitei constantemente minha memória e busquei nas "gavetas" mais profundas as passagens fundamentais para a construção da minha carreira. Vivi intensamente o risco e a inovação. Caindo para cima não é uma história de bandidos ou mocinhos, do bem contra o mal e de sucessos e insucessos. Esta obra que ofereço é pura vivência! Isaac Newton um dia se sentou à sombra de uma macieira e ao levar uma maçã na cabeça descobriu a lei da gravidade. Segundo pesquisas, na época da alegada queda da maçã Newton não estava pronto para descobrir a Gravitação Universal, pois não possuía as ferramentas para tal. O fato teria sido inventado por ele mesmo para fortalecer e tornar crível sua alegação de que a descoberta ocorrera cerca de 20 anos antes. Pois bem, não refiz a lei e não sou físico, apenas uma metáfora capaz de transformar minha forma de pensar e agir. A maçã aqui apresentada é o próprio livro, deguste e aprecie esse fruto. Se no final restar apenas o caroço, será fantástico, mas também ficarei feliz com uma simples mordida. Boa leitura e ótimo proveito da maçã.
'Peace' is often simplistically assumed to be war's opposite, and as such is not examined closely or critically idealized in the literature of peace studies, its crucial role in the justification of war is often overlooked. Starting from a critical view that the value of 'restoring peace' or 'keeping peace' is, and has been, regularly used as a pretext for military intervention, this book traces the conceptual history of peace in nineteenth century legal and political practice. It explores the role of the value of peace in shaping the public rhetoric and legitimizing action in general international relations, international law, international trade, colonialism, and armed conflict. Departing ...
