His journey took him from illiterate hunter/farmer to Master Spiritual Teacher, with power to heal, manipulate matter and even restore life. Life on the planet, Kanon, took Jarrod through eye-opening, mind-expanding experiences, humiliation, romantic love and devastating loss. Also an unexpected encounter with the Almight.

This book explores queer identity in Morocco through the work of author and LGBT activist Abdellah Taïa, who defied the country's anti-homosexuality laws by publicly coming out in 2006. Engaging postcolonial, queer and literary theory, Tina Dransfeldt Christensen examines Taïa's art and activism in the context of the wider debates around sexuality in Morocco. Placing key novels such as Salvation Army and Infidels in dialogue with Moroccan writers including Driss Chraïbi and Abdelkebir Khatibi, she shows how Taïa draws upon a long tradition of politically committed art in Morocco to subvert traditional notions of heteronormativity. By giving space to silenced or otherwise marginalised voices, she shows how his writings offer a powerful critique of discourses of class, authenticity, culture and nationality in Morocco and North Africa.

Two cowboys. Twice the love—or twice the heartache? Having arrived in Cavern County to stay with her aunt and uncle, Trinity Ellis is shocked to find that two handsome cowboys have been helping the elderly couple. Knowing how wealthy her relatives are, she is suspicious of them and annoyed that they have undertaken chores she should have done. Jarrod Parker and Cordell Bray are happy to help their neighbors, whom they regard as family since losing their own. Jarrod was orphaned not long ago, while Cordell's brothers and sister turned against him and their mother after their father's death. They are both instantly smitten with the pink-haired beauty, although her Uncle Frank has warned them to tread carefully around her. It appears that not only has she just lost her home in a gas explosion, but she'd lost her mother a couple of years ago, a trauma she has never really recovered from. Despite her best efforts, Trinity falls for the guys, who support her in her quest to uncover the secrets her boyfriend had kept so well hidden. He died in the explosion, but their love had died long before that and she's about to discover why. They all help each other to heal while learning the true meaning of family. She learns to trust again, realizing that she loves them in a way she'd never felt about her boyfriend. But the cowboys are not as they appear—and who is the other woman in their arms?

The 1989 murder of Huntington, Indiana, car collector Eldon Anson, who was killed by repeated blows to the head with a hatchet, shocked his community--particularly when three well-liked, all-American teens were implicated. The crime at first seemed unmotivated, but it was premeditated--an act of revenge by one of the teens whose perverse sense of family honor drove him to kill an innocent stranger. of photos. (August)
