Running a Victorian house museum is Amanda Banner's ideal job, which she attained via hard effort. Amanda discovers that things are not always as they seem when she is left alone in the expansive house. The hallways are inhabited by apparitions, objects move when they shouldn't, and a mirror starts to shimmer. Amanda is thrown back in time to 1880 and lands squarely in the arms of Matthew Robertson, one of the mansion's original occupants, as she approaches the weird mirror. As Amanda struggles to find her way home, navigate Victorian social graces, and fight the inner rage that flares up every time she and Matthew get close, tensions are high. Will Amanda make it back to her own time, or will she be forced to learn to live in a time long since past?

The evening and the morning represents a liturgical cadence that re-shaped the story of beginnings for a people who needed them. Exploring the Jewish perspective on the Creation Story, a hermeneutical lens is provided that gives powerful insight to what a people of faith can do to re-story a faith of resistance. Departing from the traditional evangelical understanding the Creation Story, the author follow its origin into one of the defining experiences of Jewish faith - the Exile. Exile defines and shapes the Hebrew Bible, and what evangelical Christians call the Old Testament. This is a concept that many of us chose to ignore, even while being exposes to it early our educational experiences. During this dark episode of debilitating oppression, the composers of the Creation Story redefined their reality by presenting a God who creates from the darkness, in opposition to the emptiness, and in spite of the chaos. The evening metaphorically serves as the acknowledgement of the darkness, while the morning provides the metaphor of hope of a new day. Each day, with the exception of the seventh day, addresses a dimension of the oppressive evening with the creative hope of the morning.The book is broken up into three sections, Chapters 1 through 3 are foundational, beginning with the fact that Hermeneutics Matter, secondly The Creation Story Matters, and thirdly, The Evening and The Morning Matters. The foundational chapters are used to shape a liberatory hermenutic and lens. Once the foundation has been establish, each day is presented as a homilietical response to the liberatory hermeneutic. From the perspective of the exilic experience of an African American, each day is shaped by the hermeneutical lens and questions are offered for personal thought and/or group discussions.

Home to the legendary Pitschel Players improvisatory group, The Intersection at 756 Union Street celebrated San Francisco's art, theatre, dance, music and literary riches with performances open to the public. Margie was already writing poetry as an active, exuberant young person before a high school gym class accident at age sixteen left her leg permanently injured. The course of her life entirely altered; she struggled with pain and immobility from then on. Even so, she created poem after poem.
