Book excerpt: Leading scholars, activists, and political leaders on being victim's of the world's worst atrocities "How much compensation ought to be paid to a woman who was raped 7,500 times? What would the members of the Commission want for their daughters if their daughters had been raped even once?"—Karen Parker, speaking before the U.N. Commission on Human Rights Seemingly every week, a new question arises relative to the current worldwide ferment over human injustices. Why does the U.S. offer $20,000 atonement money to Japanese Americans relocated to concentration camps during World War II, while not even apologizing to African Americans for 250 years of human bondage and another century of institutionalized discrimination? How can the U.S. and Canada best grapple with the genocidal campaigns against Native Americans on which their countries were founded? How should Japan make amends to Korean "comfort women" sexually enslaved during World War II? Why does South Africa deem it necessary to grant amnesty to whites who tortured and murdered blacks under apartheid? Is Germany's highly praised redress program, which has paid billions of dollars to Jews worldwide, a success, and, as such, an example for others?More generally, is compensation for a historical wrong dangerous "blood money" that allows a nation to wash its hands forever of its responsibility to those it has injured? A rich collection of essays from leading scholars, pundits, activists, and political leaders the world over, many written expressly for this volume, When Sorry Isn't Enough also includes the voices of the victims of some of the world's worst atrocities, thereby providing a panoramic perspective on an international controversy often marked more by heat than reason.

Book excerpt: “Unstuck covers it all—personal development, relationships with friends, marriage, the whole lot of it . . . Emerging from the rut is possible.”—Lori Zabka, cohost of the Coming Unglued podcast If you are like the countless women licensed therapist Kim Anderson has counseled, you have unknowingly chosen to live small and let hurt, anger, sadness, loneliness, fear, or shame call the shots. The good news is: you can change. In Unstuck, Kim uncovers sixteen myths that keep women from walking in the freedom and joy they were created to experience. These myths, adopted during seasons of pain and fear, are fueled by feelings of not-enough and if-only. And while these myths may seem logical and necessary, they are actually toxic and hold women back from being all they can be. Kim walks women through how to challenge their false beliefs and helps them stop living small, step out of their rut, and get Unstuck. “If you feel ‘stuck’ in your personal development, marriage, relationships with friends, or any other area, this book will give you just the tools and encouragement you need to emerge from that rut and fly.”—Shaunti Feldhahn, bestselling author of For Women Only “Her book explores its way toward suggestions for leading full, fulfilling lives . . . a self-help guide that starts Christian women on a path to a new life.”—Foreword Reviews “Shows women (and this man as well!) how to trade lives of frustration and complacency for purpose and passion, regardless of what the peer pressure might be. Highly recommend!—Scott Sauls, pastor and author of A Gentle Answer and Irresistible Faith

Book excerpt: S.C. Perkins' Murder Once Removed is the captivating first mystery in the Ancestry Detective series, in which Texas genealogist Lucy Lancaster uses her skills to solve murders in both the past and present. Except for a good taco, genealogist Lucy Lancaster loves nothing more than tracking down her clients’ long-dead ancestors, and her job has never been so exciting as when she discovers a daguerreotype photograph and a journal proving Austin, Texas, billionaire Gus Halloran’s great-great-grandfather was murdered back in 1849. What’s more, Lucy is able to tell Gus who was responsible for his ancestor’s death. Partly, at least. Using clues from the journal, Lucy narrows the suspects down to two nineteenth-century Texans, one of whom is the ancestor of present-day U.S. senator Daniel Applewhite. But when Gus publicly outs the senator as the descendant of a murderer—with the accidental help of Lucy herself—and her former co-worker is murdered protecting the daguerreotype, Lucy will find that shaking the branches of some family trees proves them to be more twisted and dangerous than she ever thought possible.
