Book excerpt: Sandra Dallas's Little Souls is a gripping tale of sisterhood, loyalty, and secrets set in Denver amid America’s last deadly flu pandemic Colorado, 1918. World War I is raging overseas, but it’s the home front battling for survival. With the Spanish Flu rampant, Denver’s schools are converted into hospitals, churches and funeral homes are closed, and nightly horse-drawn wagons collect corpses left in the street. Sisters Helen and Lutie have moved to Denver from Ohio after their parents’ death. Helen, a nurse, and Lutie, a carefree advertising designer at Neusteter’s department store, share a small, neat house and each finds a local beau – for Helen a doctor, for Lutie a young student who soon enlists. They make a modest income from a rental apartment in the basement. When their tenant dies from the flu, the sisters are thrust into caring the woman’s small daughter, Dorothy. Soon after, Lutie comes home from work and discovers a dead man on their kitchen floor and Helen standing above the body, an icepick in hand. She has no doubt Helen killed the man—Dorothy’s father—in self-defense, but she knows that will be hard to prove. They decide to leave the body in the street, hoping to disguise it as a victim of the flu. Meanwhile Lutie also worries about her fiance “over there”. As it happens, his wealthy mother harbors a secret of her own and helps the sisters as the danger deepens, from the murder investigation and the flu. Set against the backdrop of an epidemic that feels all too familiar, Little Souls is a compelling tale of sisterhood and of the sacrifices people make to protect those they love most.

But the night has a surprise ending when Danny meets Victor in the ticket line. In The Greatest Gift of All, Izzy finds out that her parents won't let her go to Pine View Camp. Her summer is ruined!

Download or read book Littlest Suffering Souls written by Austin Ruse and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that children learn what they live. But children also teach the adults in their lives lessons on subjects such as unconditional love, self-sacrifice, self-forgetfulness, patience, and more. The ordinary way an adult learns these things from his or her children is by caring for them. Every parent knows that. But some extraordinary children seem sent by God to teach us about the "big questions," such as life, death, suffering, and the existence of God. The children in this book, all of whom suffered terribly during their short lives, bore witness to God's love and an understanding of the meaning of suffering and "what to do with it" that belied their years. And their teaching was not limited to their immediate family: Everyone with whom they came into contact, from family friends and other children, to doctors and nurses, to major political figures and popes, was profoundly affected by the encounter. This book will make you cry, yes, but the tears will be mixed with something akin to joy at the beauty of the short lives of Brendan, Margaret, and Audrey, and awe at the grace and dignity with which they bore their crosses, lived and enjoyed this life, and ultimately left it to be with the God they all loved. In this time in which there is so much despair and sadness, and in this world in which we are so frequently reminded that it can truly be a "vale of tears," let Littlest Suffering Souls remind you that this present life is not all there is; let these littlest suffering souls point you to heaven and to Christ.

Download or read book Multidimensional Heart written by Hélène Konokovi Abiassi and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we speak about the heart, we often talk about sentimental and emotional matters. Nonetheless, what I mean to explore here is the heart as a chakra, as an energy center, as an intelligence and as pure love. In the heart, one can deal with and work on all subjects. However, in this day and age, human beings are programmed and conditioned to experience life through another energy center, the mental chakra, which is also very important! Today we talk about the heart chakra as a center of energy and strength: it is a combination. This is about so much more than I can describe... We all have many bodies; you can imagine them as Russian dolls stacked inside one another. Because of our experience and because of the decisions we make as human beings, our energy will activate many of these bodies, and the heart chakra activates many others. Our personal development goes through balancing and aligning all our chakras and energy centers, and what our service here is about is to give attention to and to reach the heart chakra. This approach is very enriching, and it expands this chakra. We develop ourselves in a personal and deep way throughout our evolutionary journey. The heart chakra is very caring with us, in the true sense of the word care. First of all, it loves us, and it teaches us to find this love in ourselves. I am not talking about vanity nor narcissism; I am talking about a real, deep love, about accepting our reality and the being that we truly are.
Download or read book Juicy Joy written by Lisa McCourt and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2011-03-27 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you living your richest, gutsiest, juiciest life? Do you feel all the exquisite bliss and sweetness you can imagine? If not – if you aren't experiencing the abundance and personal freedom you crave; if you're not vitally and deeply connected with your loved ones; if you're unable to attract and maintain a soul-nurturing, awe-inspiring, passionate primary relationship-it can only mean one thing. You are not expressing the full truth of who you are. Well, it's time to change that! Juicy Joy is a streamlined path to radical authenticity and the ability to flat-out adore that precious, imperfectly perfect you. Living juicy-joyfully is not a matter of adding anything to yourself. It's simply a matter of shedding the limitations that separate you from your true core being-the limitations that trap you in the numbness and detachment that have become distressingly "normal" in our culture. Wouldn't it feel amazing to trust your instincts and fearlessly act on them? Isn't it time to gain mastery over your experience of life, shed victimhood, and learn to honor the voice within you that always, unfailingly leads you to your greatest joy and highest truth? Juicy Joy is an invitation to a bigger life-a deeper, richer, more rewarding existence. And it will launch you into an enduring love affair with your glorious, genuine self!
