She can read minds and her injuries heal immediately. Meet Fana Wolde, seventeen years old, the only immortal born with the Living Blood. Said to heal almost any illness, Glow gets its power from the blood of immortals, and it’s up to the Blood Colony, a small but powerful group of immortals, to keep the supplies coming so that AIDS and other diseases will be wiped out. In this sequel to her Essence bestsellers, The Living Blood and My Soul to Keep, fan-favorite Tananarive Due introduces readers to a new drug: Glow. From the acclaimed author of The Living Blood, comes an imaginative and enthralling tale about an ancient group of African immortals facing one of the most challenging issues of our time: the AIDS/HIV pandemic. Against all odds, Grouchy must find a way to stop That Risen Snow… To make matters worse, dark magic lurks in the surrounding forest, where all is not as it seems. All the while, the zombie horde grows in numbers and ferocity. To do so, he must overcome his own rage, help his fellow dwarfs with their own inner demons, and confront the bigotry of the Prince’s soldier entourage. That leaves Grouchy and the other young dwarfs to find a cure for her malicious curse. Now a deranged zombie, Snow infects both the Prince and the dwarfs’ elder leader. Snow wakes up, but she doesn’t wake up right. When a smitten Prince arrives to kiss her awake, Grouchy feels as though his world is about to end. His abusive father raised him to hate humans, yet when a troubled human girl named Snow sought sanctuary at the home for wayward young dwarfs, Grouchy fell in love with her. The angry young dwarf named Grouchy has long dreaded this day. Many young women no longer baulk at the opportunity to take their clothes off to prove that they are “sex positive” and comfortable with flaunting their physical attributes. In our sex-saturated culture, the “bad girl” is the archetype of liberation and (post)modernity. Drawing on over a hundred interviews and thousands of emails from women from diverse cultural, ideological and racial backgrounds, Shalit’s narrative surveys the dreary outworking of a failed revolution and discerns the signs of a new counter-culture. Like Shalit’s first book, Girls Gone Mild argues that the sexual revolution may not have been as beneficial for women as staunch feminists stridently assert and questions why there is so much opposition to considering, even just for a moment, a more wholesome alternative. The title is a play on the infamous Girls Gone Wild videos which ruthlessly exploit the sexual imprudence of American college girls. Now Shalit has penned a sequel, Girls Gone Mild: Young Women Reclaim Self-Respect and Find It’s Not Bad to Be Good. Eight years ago, at the youthful age of 23, Wendy Shalit put forward a compelling case for sexual prudence in A Return to Modesty: Discovering the Lost Virtue.

Mockingbird is a young adult novel by American author Kathryn Erskine about a girl with Asperger's syndrome coping with the loss of her brother. This communication can only be fulfilled when we offer our own real bodily presence, and receive Him. In the sacramental form of communication the Church does not communicate something about Christ, but Christ. In the dogma of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist the Church has set a sacramental basis for communication. But there is always the danger that other media, for example our language, disengage from our bodily presence, and create its own virtual reality. With the help of this model I describe how the spiritual practices of Saint Francis incarnated Gods presence. The proposed model differentiates between three times three transformations: the body as a locus, medium and image, corresponding to destination, rendition and communion. Humans are and should be bodily present with the environment, with each other and with God. A bodily approach to reality gives us reality as a bodily presence, even if it is mediated by the virtual media. The body is approached, not as the physical or material thing ('dust'), but as an individual incarnation of life ('Here I am'). Presence is described as a transformative power operating in a face-to-face encounter, whereby the face stands for the integral act of communicating with one another. This contribution develops a model of bodily spirituality as a response to the virtual reality in which we have to live and be present. “ deliciously creepy tale of urban paranoia.”-Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10 She also casts enough extras to keep readers guessing who could be behind these attacks.readers may find themselves wanting to reread this one.”-Associated Press “Mackintosh allots her characters the perfect amount of back story, allowing them to carry their own weight throughout the investigation. “Danger feels real in the brilliant I See You.Mackintosh seems destined to do important work for many years to come.”- The Washington Post “ well-told suspense story.refreshingly realistic.”- The New York Times Book Review |
