Who am I? Why am I here? To discover, through awakening, your unlimited potential and the extraordinarily divine life you are meant to live. Like most people, Pauline Raphaela had a plan for the fulfillment of her life, until a mystical presence began to steer her in an unusual, yet exciting direction. In The Little Blue Room, Pauline invites you into her own sacred journey of awakening. Amidst crises, illness, revelation and surrender, distinguishing the shadow-self from the authentic Soul, Pauline discovers her truth. She shares mystical experiences, revealing how we are guided to our Soul’s destiny, when we are courageous enough to follow. Pauline gently mentors how to deeply heal your life, including ancestral patterns, to awaken your innate greatness. The courage to awaken to your truth, to Soul love, joy, freedom and power, is already within you. “Well-written and inspiring . . . a must-read for anyone who wishes to awaken their Soul—more than a memoir, more than a self-help book. Pauline is an exuberant storyteller, who takes you on a spiritual journey that will transform your life.” — Cindi Sansone-Braff, The Romance Whisperer, author of Grant Me a Higher Love and other titles. “Drawing from dramatic episodes and compelling insights in her life, Pauline shows how the Soul tries to awaken at critical times. What we need now is not a minor repair, but a major transformation of the world that can only start with the awakening of the individual Soul.” — Lynn Van Praagh-Gratton author of Divine Dimes and other titles.

A novel about a mother-daughter relationship that will send a chill down your spine. Johanne is a young woman in her twenties who lives with her mother. When she falls in love with Ivar, she finally feels ready to leave home. The couple plan a trip to America. But the morning of her departure, Johanne wakes up to find the door locked. Can she overcome her fears? Will she shout for help? Will she climb out of her fourth floor window? Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'Everyone who has read Fifty Shades of Grey should read this book. Why? The Blue Room holds up a mirror to a part of the female psyche that yearns for submission. The story shows how erotic fantasies are formed by the relationship with our parents. It then delves further to analyse the struggle of women to separate from their mothers - a struggle that is rarely addressed in either literature or society.' Meike Ziervogel 'A masterpiece of unreliable narration.' Nicholas Lezard, Guardian 'A highly unusual, coolly daring psychological thriller that explores emotional pain and indifference with an unsettling detachment.' Eileen Battersby, Irish Times 'A work of chilling, masterly control.' Laura Profumo, Times Literary Supplement 'Nothing is certain, no motive is clear and no person is above suspicion in Ørstavik's perfectly pitched, tightly stitched and captivating brain-teaser.' Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post 'Ørstavik treats the everyday and existential with intensity.' Max Liu, Independent 'Psychologically astute and deftly translated . . . A brilliant examination of a woman struggling to own her sexuality, to break free from the guilt and forge her own identity.' Lucy Popescu, Tablet GUARDIAN PAPERBACKS OF THE YEAR 2014

"The Good Crow's Happy Shop" by Patten Beard is an amusement story. A long time ago, the author of this book played the crow play as a little girl, and when she grew up and gave the crow play to Henry Jarrett. Excerpt: "Once a year, Aunt Phoebe came to visit in the city at Jimsi's house. Aunt Phoebe was Mother's best friend. Jimsi and Henry and baby Katherine had known her ever so long. They could not remember the time when they did not know Aunt Phoebe. Probably the time dated back to the age of rattles and squeaky rubber dolls when the children were so small that they knew nothing at all about Aunt Phoebe's Good Crow, Caw Caw."

Together in one volume for the first time: The harrowing #1 New York Times bestseller with a new introduction, and its triumphant sequel. This volume includes two memoirs by Christina Crawford, recounting the abuse she endured as a child and her journey to recovery as an adult. Mommie Dearest: An unprecedented memoir of child abuse, Mommie Dearest also chipped away at the façade of Christina Crawford’s alcoholic abuser: her adoptive mother, movie star Joan Crawford. What transpired between a seemingly fortunate child of Hollywood and a controlling and desperate woman was an escalating nightmare and, for Christina, a fierce struggle for independence. This ebook features an exclusive new introduction by the author, plus rare photographs from her personal collection and a revealing one hundred pages of material not found in the original manuscript. “A horror story that goes beyond showbiz scandal-mongering . . . Delivers an unexpected charge.” —The New York Times “Probably the most chilling account of a mother-daughter relationship ever to be put on paper.” —Los Angeles Times Survivor: Mommie Dearest cast a spotlight on the unspoken horrors of family violence, but the years following its publication tested Christina Crawford’s resilience in unexpected ways: a backlash intended to shame her, a film adaptation that compounded the trauma, alcoholism, divorce, and a stroke that left her paralyzed. Staying true to her fighting spirit, the author made a remarkable comeback. Survivor is more than a memoir of triumph over tragedy. For anyone who has suffered challenging despair, it is a spiritual roadmap to recovery, finding peace, and celebrating a fulfilling life. “One closes this fine, moving read with great respect for Christina Crawford.” —Kirkus Reviews
