Mike Noble leads with his heart. It belonged to Lou Ann until she was killed in a highway crash. He can't give her up. Mike is a graduate professor and vice president at Great Rivers University (GRU). Students are his escape from his grief. One of Mike's students, Lynn Bosen, looks the part of a beautiful university junior that she is, but her beauty and her body belie her age. There is a big place in her heart for Mike. Security Director Bob "Bear" Drummer telephones Noble in the night to tell him that Lynn, in her half-time security role, has found the seminude body of a petite girl encased in four black plastic bags. Bob has a big heart. Those who love him most, fear it may betray him. Lynn, Mike, and Bob are brought together by the first of incidents that take the lives of more coeds. In a unique combination of events, they will all be involved in solving the murders.

LYNNS JOURNAL THE THIRD BOOK IN A TRILOGY Lynn Bosen grew up in a trailer park. Her father abused her until he died when Lynn was nine years old. Her mother was a recluse, showing little interest or affection for Lynn. Lynn grew up with three survival qualities. She could run like the wind, she had a powerful mind, and she had a beautiful body. Boys and men were drawn to her. Lynn is now Lynn Bosen Noble. Her husband, Mike Noble, is a graduate professor and vice president of Great Rivers University (GRU). Mike Noble has studied in diverse academic fields including studies of writing and healing. In Stem: Cells That Divide, Lynn was left for dead in an explosion meant to kill her and to destroy the Stem Cell Laboratory on the campus of GRU. She survived and Mike encouraged her to write of her life in a journal, thus, Lynns Journal. Lynn takes on the task with little enthusiasm; however, she addresses the challenge and she enjoys the process. You will respect her courage and her survival skills. She has trepidation about sharing it with Mike. This is her unexpurgated journal, or as some are wont to say, warts and all. Enjoy!

ISBN: 1487513062

Roots of Entanglement offers an historical exploration of the relationships between Indigenous peoples and European newcomers in the territory that would become Canada. Various engagements between Indigenous peoples and the state are emphasized and questions are raised about the ways in which the past has been perceived and how those perceptions have shaped identity and, in turn, interaction both past and present. Specific topics such as land, resources, treaties, laws, policies, and cultural politics are explored through a range of perspectives that reflect state-of-the-art research in the field of Indigenous history. Editors Myra Rutherdale, Whitney Lackenbauer, and Kerry Abel have assembled an array of top scholars including luminaries such as Keith Carlson, Bill Waiser, Skip Ray, and Ken Coates. Roots of Entanglement is a direct response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s call for a better appreciation of the complexities of history in the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Standing Up with Ga’axsta’las tells the remarkable story of Jane Constance Cook (1870-1951), a controversial Kwakwaka’wakw leader and activist who lived during a period of enormous colonial upheaval. Working collaboratively, Robertson and Cook’s descendants draw on oral histories and textual records to create a nuanced portrait of a high-ranked woman, a cultural mediator, devout Christian, and aboriginal rights activist who criticized potlatch practices for surprising reasons. This powerful meditation on memory and cultural renewal documents how the Kwagu’l Gixsam have revived their long-dormant clan in the hopes of forging a positive cultural identity for future generations through feasting and potlatching.

“This humane and masterly novel by one of Britain’s most dazzling writers is . . . a praisesong for the magical human predicament.” —Cynthia Ozick, The New York Times Book Review A highly regarded expert on housing for the elderly who is herself getting on in age, Francesca Stubbs drives “restlessly round England,” which is “her last love . . . She wants to see it all before she dies.” Amid the professional conferences that dominate her schedule, she fits in visits to old friends, brings home cooked dinners to her ailing ex-husband, texts her son, who is grieving over the shocking death of his girlfriend, and drops in on her daughter, a quirky young woman who lives in a flood plain in the West Country. Fran’s intimate struggle against mortality is set within the dramas of her private world, and against the tumult of the world at large. For her friends and family in Britain, the flood tides are rising. For an expat community in the seemingly idyllic Canary Islands, there is always the potential for a seismic event. Meanwhile, migrants are fleeing an increasingly war-torn Middle East. Margaret Drabble’s latest enthralls, entertains, and asks existential questions in equal measure. Alas, there is undeniable truth in Fran’s insight: “Old age, it’s a fucking disaster!” A New York Times Notable Book One of the Washington Post’s 50 Notable Works of Fiction in 2017
