Elizabeth & Leicester
BIOGRAPHY: ROYALTY. Few relationships fire our imagination like that of Elizabeth I and her 'bonnie sweet Robin' - the Earl of Leicester, Robert Dudley. Almost immediately after she became queen, Elizabeth's infatuation with the married Earl became the subject of letters from scandalized ambassadors. And when Dudley's wife, Amy, died a mere two years later under suspicious circumstances many speculated that Elizabeth and Robert would marry. They never did, although by the time Robert died he had been Elizabeth's councillor and commander of her army, had sat by her bed in sickness and represented her on state occasions.But she had also humiliated him, made him dance attendance on her other suitors, and tried to have him clapped in prison when he finally broke loose and married again. "Elizabeth and Leicester" is a portrait - at times a startlingly intimate one - of the tie where, unusually, a woman held all the power; of an edgy yet enduring love that still speaks to us today.
The Letters of Sarah Elizabeth Jackson
My sister was a wonderful woman'. So wrote George Canning Jackson on 7 February 1964. His sister, Sarah Elizabeth Jackson (known to friends and family by her second name, Elizabeth), had died of consumption on 14 January 1923, aged thirty-two. Canning Jackson was writing to Dr Helen Mayo, to whom he sent all the letters written by Elizabeth that he had been able to find. These letters were later deposited in the Rare Books and Special Collections section of the Barr Smith Library in the University of Adelaide, and are here presented in with an introduction by Barbara Wall. Elizabeth had a remarkable influence on the young men and women of Adelaide, especially those connected with the University of Adelaide. Her exceptional personality, her extraordinary powers of thinking and communicating, her thoughtfulness, her devotion to the causes of women and children, her passion for redressing wrongs, her wit and delight in nonsense all shine through these letters, and help us to understand the outstanding impact and influence she had on her contemporaries.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made is a biographical account of a young girl who grew up with her parents and siblings in a modest home in Upstate New York in the late 60s and early 70s. Sarah was emotionally and physically abused by her mother and sexually abused by her father. Throughout her childhood, she sought comfort and refuge in her intimate relationship with God. In her midtwenties, she becomes a mother of a darling little boy and was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Her life seems complete when Sarah meets her future husband, Nehemiah, while vacationing in the Caribbean. They happily raise their vivacious baby boy. Then Nehemiah is incarcerated for selling prescription drugs to an undercover detective. She is left alone to raise her children. Her faith is tested, but she proves to be unshakable. Sarah eventually reconciles with her mother and fully embraces her past. This true story was written with the deep desire of shedding light on the serious effects of child abuse and to inspire others to never give up hope.
Getting Back to Love
When a man, either by hurting or pleasing his woman, tries to control her, he is a Mama's Boy who believes he gets his power from the women in his life. When a woman, either by serving or dominating her man, tries to take care of him, she is a Daddy's Girl who believes she will find fulfillment by taking care of the men in her life. Together, these personality types have great potential for passion and romance, but they're also vulnerable to relationship tragedy. Getting Back to Love teaches these unique people how to become masters of (rather than be mastered by) the Mama's Boy/Daddy's Girl dynamics that threaten to sabotage their relationships. Discover the steps to growing beyond the dysfunction into a relationship that has more love, better passion, and greater satisfaction!
