First Born

From his first breath, people know that John Reed is special. Gifted with an uncanny awareness and ability to communicate, he also possess the power to heal. Before long, a local priest heralds the infant as a new messiah, inadvertently drawing the attention of Neo Tech, part of a clandestine organization whose dark web extends from major multinational corporations to the vaults of the Vatican. Neo Tech believes that John Reed is neither holy, nor even human, but the first alien-human hybrid. They employ the beautiful Casey Lee Armstrong, an elite "remote viewer", to make psychic contact with the baby. What Casey discovers changes her world forever--and makes her a threat to Neo Tech. With the baby missing and her life in danger, Casey's sole ally is a renegade police detective, Michael Caruso. Together, they pursue John Reed through a maze of death, deceit, and disinformation to a place where realties collide.

Last Day

Charlie Wolf is an undercover cop assigned to infiltrate the Sons of Fire motorcycle club, suspected of manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine up and down the East Coast. Charlie's been undercover for a long time--long enough to have broken the two cardinal rules of his work. He's forged a strong friendship with Ray Sasso, president of the Sons of Fire. And he's become addicted to meth. In the heat of the cops' planned bust, Charlie, high on meth and not sure where his loyalties lie, makes a near-fatal mistake. The shoot-out leaves a bullet lodged in the right temporal lobe of Charlie's brain--an area known to be the center of paranormal activity. Operating to remove the bullet would likely kill Charlie. Living with it will change him forever. Ray Sasso knows that one man set him on the path to hell: the arrest, the loss of his power, the destruction of his body, the disintegration of his family. Charlie Wolf. It's Wolf who must pay for Sasso's downfall. But where is Charlie Wolf? Who is he? Charlie doesn't know himself anymore. The psychotic episodes, which his doctors trace to the bullet in his brain, have grown worse, stranger, altering his very perceptions of the world. He is living in a nightmare from which he cannot wake. One man, Charlie knows, holds the key to his prison--Ray Sasso. Two men linked forever by a tangle of lies and twisted loyalties and a moment of bloody violence. Two men who could not be more dissimilar--or more the same. When they meet again, for one it will be the Last Day.

A major social and educational experiment in race relations was conducted in Berea, Kentucky, from 1866 to 1904. During those years Berea contained a community, school, and church which were all fully integrated: white people, mostly from the Kentucky Appalachian region, and black people, former slaves and their children, from the Blue Grass country, lived, worked, and studied together in an atmosphere designed to foster social equality. Sears demonstrates that integration and social equality among the races are not unrealizable ideals; at Berea in the second half of the 19th century these ideals were lived out in practical terms. The Berea project was killed by state and federal legislation, not by being intrinsically unworkable.

Based on original interviews of 22 Muslim-American women of South Asian descent on the topics of honor and honor killings, this book examines honor and culture, and their intersections with power, tradition, gender, family, and religion. Additionally, it incorporates an autoethnographic approach describing the author’s journey to Pakistan to create a personal narrative throughout. This volume offers a unique perspective that allows for informed exploration and description of Muslim-American women’s attitudes and beliefs surrounding the practice of killing women and girls in order to regain family honor.

Traumatic experiences leave a "living legacy" of effects that often persist for years and decades after the events are over. Historically, it has always been assumed that re-telling the story of what happened would resolve these effects. However, survivors report a different experience: Telling and re-telling the story of what happened to them often reactivates their trauma responses, overwhelming them rather than resolving the trauma. To transform traumatic experiences, survivors need to understand their symptoms and reactions as normal responses to abnormal events. They need ways to work with the symptoms that intrude on their daily activities, preventing a life beyond trauma. Dr. Janina Fisher, international expert on trauma, has spent over 40 years working with survivors, helping them to navigate the healing journey. In Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma, she shows how the legacy of symptoms helped them survive and offers: - Step-by-step strategies that can be used on their own or in collaboration with a therapist - Simple diagrams that make sense of the confusing feelings and physical reactions survivors experience - Worksheets to practice the skills that bring relief and ultimately healing
