Download or read book God in the Image of Woman written by D.V. Bernard and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A genetic apocalypse is ravaging the earth, women are disappearing from the planet, and the only hope to keep civilization from crumbling is a ten-year-old girl. In the future, people lose the ability to have daughters; and as women begin to disappear from a world already gripped by chaos, some people begin to think that a 10-year-old black girl will be the next Messiah. Seven years after the onset of this genetic apocalypse, all women have disappeared from cities like New York. Civilization, itself, seems to have ground to a halt as men, numbed by the holographic pleasures of their technological age, wait for the inevitable death of their species. It is then that a powerful military force, known simply as The Horde, begins a systematic offensive against the world's great cities. As this final battle unfolds, the girl presumed to be God escapes from the fortress where The Horde had been keeping her and thousands of other women. Once free, she forms a series of alliances—first with a cult convinced of her divinity, then with the scientist originally responsible for the genetic apocalypse, and finally with a man without a past, whose evolving conceptualization of reality seems to be the key to saving the human race. Interwoven with a rich mosaic of characters—like the seemingly supernatural Quibb; the industrial magnate, Shaka; the gender-defying cyber witch, Circe; and the revolutionary firebrand, Tio Mendez—God in the Image of Woman tells the epic story of people searching for their humanity in an age where the end of the human race seems terrifyingly close.

Download or read book Hoot N Gin written by Michael N. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Virginia and Michael begin recovery from alcoholism in Alcoholics Anonymous, they correspond several times a week. They view letter writing and their deepening relationship as a lifeline in the chaos of change. Letters selected from over 2000 written during the next five years chronicle the raw material of their recovery. As their recovery becomes increasingly mired in conflict between the deception required to maintain their relationship and "rigorous honesty" required to attain lasting sobriety, Hoot and Gin (alter egos) spontaneously emerge in the writing. With the mobility of mental apparitions, these "kids" are traded back and forth by their adult counterparts, nurturing, modeling new behaviors, broaching sensitive subjects, and teaching the healing art of laughing at self. They help the adults move through stuck places and give up stubborn resistance to change. For anyone contemplating recovery or living with an alcoholic, who is questioning how Twelve Steps can have any practical application to a situation as complicated as theirs, Hoot 'n Gin reveals how two skeptical people eventually find all twelve are gifts, not punishment. This trip through the Twelve Steps demonstrates how the act of letter writing can augment a recovery program by encouraging introspection, lending support, and measuring progress.

He was seeking justice—and he would use any means to get it. Juliette de Clement, a confidante of the royal family, could aid his search for the priceless treasure so many had killed to possess...and died to protect. But in eighteenth-century revolutionary France, a world of power and intrigue, soldiers and assassins, royalty and rebels, death could come in many forms and from any direction, and none more lethal—or more likely—than from the person you trusted most. Still, Jean and Juliette had no choice but to trust each other, because their very lives depended on it. Someone else was determined to have the Wind Dancer statue—and the legacy of power it bestowed. Someone whose twisted genius for evil was already wreaking a path of unspeakable violence that only together they could stop...even as they stood to be its next victims.

Download or read book Legless in Seabrook written by Ian Wood and published by Ian Wood. This book was released on 2019-10-26 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a standalone companion novel to Shiftless in Galveston. Neither Jade nor Jason had expected to run into the other on the last night of a poorly-reviewed and curtain-dropping play in some out-of-the-way community theater. And especially not in such embarrassing circumstances when Jade, driving a wheelchair, needed help in the handicapped non-friendly bathroom - and like, right now! Jade had sworn-off men, perhaps forever after her bad marriage was finally over several years ago. Jason had no interest in women, not after that really dysfunctional relationship a half-dozen years before. They were simply too much trouble for him to cope with. How a relationship started from such mortifying circumstances was a wonder to both of them, but how it lasted and grew ever stronger when the obstacles began to mount, starting with an ill-fated Gulf cruise, was an honest-to-goodness miracle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of the former comfort women have galvanized both Asian and non-Asian intellectuals working in a variety of fields. Scholars of Asian history and politics, feminists, human rights activists, documentary filmmakers, visual artists, and novelists have begun to address the subject of the comfort system; to take up the cause of the surviving comfort women's sturggles; to call attention to sexual violence against women, especially during wartime; to consider the links among militarism, racism, imperialism, and sexism; and to include this history into 20th-century political history. This volume contains a cross-section of responses to the issues raised by the former comfort women and their new visibility on the international stage. Its focus is on how theorists, historians, researchers, activists, and artists have been preserving, interpreting, and disseminating the legacies of the comfort women and also drawing lessons from these. The essays consider the impact and influence of the comfort women's stories on a wide variety of fields and describe how those stories are now being heard or read and used in Asian and in the West.
