When a shocking accident forces Tory to demonstrate her despised skill, the secret she's fought so hard to hide is revealed for all to see. She is immediately exiled to Lackland Abbey, a reform school for young men and women in her position.

All that she's ever known or considered important will be challenged. What lies ahead is only the beginning of a strange and wonderful journey into a world where destiny and magic come together, where true love and friendship find her, and where courage and strength of character are the only things that determine a young girl's worth.

Lesley Feracho answers these questions through a comparative look at texts by four women writers from across the Americas—Zora Neale Hurston, Julieta Campos, Carolina Maria de Jesus, and Clarice Lispector.

Download or read book Tainted Seas written by Linda Jo Heffner and published by Dudley Court Press, LLC. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So many love stories stop at the wedding vows...when couples pledge to love each other "for better or worse, in sickness and health, til death do us part." But not this one. In 1968, Linda sat next to a handsome sailor in the Penn State cafeteria. Who could resist a handsome sailor? Not Linda, who fell head over heels in love. Against the backdrop of the tumultuous sixties, they married and had three children, and Bud became the Navy officer of his dreams. But their perfect Navy family life unraveled with Bud's frightening symptoms hearkening back to two tours in Vietnam. A sudden collapse led to a diagnosis virtually impossible for a vital young man. While Linda raised their children and followed her vows to care for her husband, two questions plagued her: How could her young and healthy husband suddenly have such a sinister cancer? And how could his beloved Navy abandon him? On a mission of love, Linda spent years unearthing what really happened to Bud, only to find that the military that discarded him had hidden the truth about his illness for decades. Tainted Seas is the sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking story of a passionate couple coping with tragedy, and the continuing journey of a woman dedicated to justice for military families shattered by the very institutions they nobly served. A loving wife on a mission of true love and truth proves that nothing can stay hidden forever--even against the power of the US government.

Book excerpt: Leah's life was in shambles. She had suffered through various financial failures, emotional pain and disappointment, substance abuse, health issues and now she portrayed a bitter demeanor that no one could penetrate. Leah rejected anyone who tried to help until she crossed paths with author Maria Loveless. Although Maria would have preferred to remain in the comfort of her idyllic life, she realized God was calling her to guide Leah out of a world of darkness and despair into His kingdom of light and freedom. God showed Maria that she possessed a judgmental heart and He was going to teach Maria how to truly love the sinner and the lost as God loves. In order to do that, Maria needed to set aside 'self ' and acquire a heart after God's heart. To whom is God calling you to minister today? Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and into a journey of obedience to save the lost and hurting around you? Follow Maria and Leah's journey of love in Tarnished Treasure and learn how you can minister to the women you meet who need God as Leah did. Walk through Leah's hurt and pain; feel the heaviness of her bondage and comprehend the coldness of her spiritual prison before she experienced freedom in Christ; know there is more to life than the pursuit of a comfortable lifestyle and personal achievement. Leah's life was transformed, but she wasn't the only one. Maria's life was also revolutionized as she learned to embrace a heart as Christ does. She is discovering what true sacrifice and commitment is, while learning to become obedient to God's voice; she is learning what it means to see past a person's sin and just to love as Christ asks us to love.
