Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samara Taylor used to believe in miracles. She used to believe in a lot of things. As a pastor's kid, it's hard not to buy in to the idea of the perfect family, a loving God, and amazing grace. But lately, Sam has a lot of reason to doubt. Her mother lands in rehab after a DUI and her father seems more interested in his congregation than his family. When a young girl in her small town is kidnapped, the local tragedy overlaps with Sam's personal one, and the already-worn thread of faith holding her together begins to unravel.

Book excerpt: Two groups of people, maligned and sometimes despised. Two groups of people living and existing amongst us in the cities we have created to feed our enterprise. We try our best not to see them for they remind us of our failures and mistakes; the thin line that divides us from their fate. To see them is to remember that they too have feelings, just as we do. They have stories to tell, just as we do. Out of one such tale, we find a boy - a boy born out of his time, blessed with an irrepressible spirit and keen intelligence; streetwise and independent of nature. He forms an unlikely relationship with a vagrant who seems to be much more than he appears - a mysterious and enigmatic man who struggles with the loss of his memory; a memory which he glimpses only through powerful, disturbing dreams with bewildering mythological themes. Many think him merely to be a madman. Their story is a strange and unbelievable one picked up and followed reluctantly by two Christian volunteers whose view of the accepted will be irretrievably changed by their experiences.

Download or read book Everything Ancient Was Once New written by Emalani Case and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Everything Ancient Was Once New, Emalani Case explores Indigenous persistence through the concept of Kahiki, a term that is at once both an ancestral homeland for Kānaka Maoli (Hawaiians) and the knowledge that there is life to be found beyond Hawaiʻi’s shores. Kahiki is therefore both a symbol of ancestral connection and the potential that comes with remembering and acting upon that connection. Tracing physical, historical, intellectual, and spiritual journeys to and from Kahiki, Case frames it as a place of refuge and sanctuary, a place where ancient knowledge can constantly be made anew. It is in Kahiki, and in the sanctuary it creates, that today’s Kānaka Maoli can find safety and reprieve from the continued onslaught of settler colonial violence while confronting some of the uncomfortable and challenging realities of being Indigenous in Hawaiʻi, in the Pacific, and in the world. The book engages with Kahiki as a shifting term employed by Kānaka Maoli to explain their lives and experiences at different points in history. Case argues for reactivated and reinvigorated engagements with Kahiki to support ongoing work aimed at decolonizing physical and ideological spaces and to reconnect Kānaka Maoli to peoples and places in the Pacific region and beyond in purposeful, meaningful ways. By tracing Kahiki through pivotal moments in history and critical moments in contemporary times, Case demonstrates how the idea of Kahiki—while not always mentioned by name—was, and is, always full of potential. Intertwining personal narrative with rigorous research and analysis, Case weaves the past and the present together, reflecting on ancient concepts and their continued relevance in movements to protect lands, waters, and oceans; to fight for social justice; to reexamine our responsibilities to each other across the Pacific region; and to open space for continued dialogue on what it means to be Indigenous when at home and when away. Everything Ancient Was Once New journeys to and from Kahiki, offering readers a sanctuary for reflection, deep learning, and continued dreaming with the past, in the present, and far into the future.
