Nineteenth-century adventure fiction relating to the British empire served to promote, celebrate, and justify the imperial project, asserting the essential and privileging difference between "us" and "them," colonizer and colonized. Andrea White's study examines popular travel literature in relation to later adventure stories, and sets the fiction of Joseph Conrad in this context, showing how Conrad demythologized the imperial subject constructed in earlier writing. She argues that the very complexity of Conrad's work provided an alternative, more critical means of evaluating the experience of empire.

The Mathesons have always been the cornerstone of the Mission Grove, North Carolina community. Deep wounds start to blur that idyllic image of the preacher’s family, when they can no longer hide the pain of past events.  Their story is an adventure that casts its hooks in several engaging directions at once, eventually reeling us back in—to the core of the family. They chase after hope, but must first come face to face with the very things that threaten to destroy it.  Family secrets must be brought into the light. Dangerous missions must be carried out and fears overcome. Thinking must be challenged. People must evolve. And the Mathesons will do it with both faith and a sense of humor… no matter how much it hurts.  Stealing Hope. Laugh, heal and hope with us.
