Download or read book BIG HORN written by Pamela Fagan Hutchins and published by Pamela Fagan Hutchins. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nora Roberts meets Yellowstone in this brand new must read series from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. When an investment guru turns up dead in the septic tank behind her husband’s new Wyoming lodge, Jennifer must put the campaign that could make her the youngest ever female district attorney in Houston on hold to defend the well-lubricated lodge caretaker, or he’ll go down for a murder she’s convinced he didn’t commit. Prosecutor Jennifer Herrington has it all in Texas, until her husband Aaron falls for a ramshackle lodge on the face of the ruggedly beautiful Bighorn Mountains. But before he can sell her on a new life in the cowboy state—one filled with pets and kids, where he’ll trade his fancy veterinary clinic for a simple country practice, and she’ll write the murder mystery she’s always dreamed of—they find a prominent local man in the septic tank, a knife in his temple, long past saving. As an early fall blizzard hits, deputies zero in on George, the caretaker, and not just because the lookalike victim is his sworn enemy and the ex-husband of George’s deceased wife: George is covered in blood with no memories of the night before. Despite the evidence (and lack of working plumbing at the lodge) and nightmares about a childhood trauma in Wyoming that she can't remember, Jennifer feels a connection to George, a man who saves baby skunks, rescues feral cats, and is besotted with the incontinent old dog who was also stabbed and left for dead by the killer. But, even so, when George asks for her help and Aaron begs her to stay, no one is more shocked than Jennifer when she agrees to take the case and search for the real murderer —at least until she can find a replacement lawyer for George and get back to the bright lights of her real life in the big city. Bonus for fans of other PFH series: watch for strong appearances by crossover characters from What Doesn't Kill You and Patrick Flint. A former attorney, Pamela runs an off-the-grid lodge on the face of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, living out the adventures in her books with her husband, rescue dogs and cats, and enormous horses.

There, the thirty-eight-year-old serves up her American hospitality to the expats who patronize her coffee shop, including a British journalist, a “danger pay” consultant, and a wealthy and well-connected woman.

Download or read book Feminism and Religion written by Michele A. Paludi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned subject experts Michele A. Paludi and J. Harold Ellens lead readers through a detailed exploration of the feminist methods, issues, and theoretical frameworks that have made women central, not marginal, to religions around the world. At a conference in 2013, Gloria Steinem noted that religion is the "biggest problem" facing feminism today. In this insightful volume, a team of researchers, psychologists, and religious leaders led by editors Michele A. Paludi and J. Harold Ellens supply their expertise and informed opinions to examine the problems, spur understanding, and pose solutions to the conflicts between religion and women's rights, thereby advocating a global interest in justice and love for women. Examples of subjects addressed include the pro-life/pro-choice debate, feminism in new age thought, and the complex intersections of religion and feminism combined with gender, race, and ethnicity. The contributed work in this unique single-volume book enables a better understanding of how various religions view women—both traditionally and in the modern context—and how feminist thinking has changed the roles of women in some world religions. Readers will come away with clear ideas about how religious cultures can honor feminist values, such as family-friendly workplace policies, reproductive justice, and pay equity, and will be prepared to engage in conversation and constructive debate regarding how faith and feminism are interrelated today.
