“Engrossing...The Pact is compelling reading.”—People In this heart-rending tale of love and friendship, Jodi Picoult brings to life a familiar world, and in a single terrifying moment awakens every parent’s worst fear: We think we know our children . . . but do we ever really know them at all? The Golds and the Hartes, neighbors for eighteen years, have always been inseparable. So have their children—and it’s no surprise that in high school Chris and Emily’s friendship blossoms into something more. But the bonds of family, friendship, and passion—which had seemed so indestructible—suddenly threaten to unravel in the wake of unimaginable tragedy. When midnight calls from the hospital come in, no one is ready for the truth. Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head. There’s a single unspent bullet in the gun that Chris pilfered from his father’s cabinet—a bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris describes. This extraordinary, poignant novel paints an indelible portrait of two families in anguish . . . and creates an astonishingly suspenseful courtroom drama as Chris is put on trial for murder.

A brother and a sister made a pact before they were born... When John Edward Saetveit died right after graduating from college, his older sister, Marnah, was understandably devastated. How could such a beautiful being like her dear brother have been taken so young? It made no sense. But it had to be. This was part of their pact. John agreed to die early so that he could plan, from the world of Spirit, events for his sister to experience. In turn, Marnah agreed to be the one to live here on earth to learn from John's planned events and ultimately share everything she learned about Spirit with you in this book. For years, John and Marnah have been communicating across the veil. In fact, they wrote this book together! Here, they offer proof that we are eternal beings. This is a secret that has been kept from us for millennia. Death may not be what you think it is. The truth is, we can never die. While we do live in a physical body, we are truly Spirit. We are eternal spiritual beings which means that we are much more powerful than we can imagine. This remarkable story will inspire you to live fully, to reach out to the world of Spirit, and to know that you are not alone—ever—as you embark on your life's journey.

This book investigates decolonization as a local process and its connections to international relations, introducing "internal colonialism" as a crucial analytical category for internationalists. Using Bolivia as a case study, the author argues that the reshaping of colonialism and its resistance domestically is also reflected and reproduced abroad by political actors, be they the governments or indigenous movements. By problematizing postcolonial debate concerning the constitution/reproduction of colonial logics in International Relations, the book proposes a return to the local to show how power relations are exercised concretely by the protagonists of political process. Such dynamics reveal the interrelationship between the local and the international, especially, in which the latter represents a necessary dimension to both reinforce colonialism and oppose colonial logics. Of interest to scholars and students of IR, Latin American and Andean Studies, this book will also appeal to those working in the fields of area studies, anthropology, indigenous politics, comparative politics, decolonization and political ecology.
