Magda Harden is your typical nineteen-year-old young woman living in Virginia trying to figure out her next steps in life. Nothing too exciting ever seems to happen to her or in the town she lives in. Until one day, that changes when her mother is injured in a way that suggests supernatural elements are at play. As Magda starts to wonder about the suspicious events surrounding her mother's injury, she begins to experience supernatural oddities of her own. Her world is then turned upside down when she meets Taj, a shapeshifter, who shares details about her life that rival her beliefs about who she is and where she comes from. She's forced from the comforts of her normal life and hurled into a world filled with supernatural beings and terror at every turn. There she meets several friends who become her closest allies, who try to help her uncover her family's secrets and stay alive while doing so.

I wrote this book for my children Elizabeth and David and all their cousins. This is what I want them to know and remember about our family. I also wrote it for my brothers and sisters - and me. I have been told that it is too idealized; this may be true. I tried to include the warts - or at least to allude to them - but not to dwell on them for our true story is one of triumph.Gordon Sabine, former director of the School of Journalism at the University of Iowa and my professional mentor, was the impetus for this book. He said it needed to be done. The project took exactly a year. Initially, I relied on my recollection. Then I fleshed it out with details from my diaries and scrapbooks, and finally, I dug out my letters (I've never thrown any away) and reread Mother's and Daddy's letters to me from the 1950s while I was at the University of Iowa and on my first jobs. Paul, Marie, and Harold offered lots of details and corrections that I had missed. Several of the grandchildren offered their recollections, too, and I have included them as written. But the overall perspective is mine.I am reminded of what I heard the late Abe Fortas testify at the 1981 hearings into the roundup of Japanese after Pearl Harbor during the dark days of World War II. During the ceremonial opening day of the hearings, the few surviving federal officials from that period testified, and Fortas was among them because he was an assistant secretary of the interior at the time. "I have no idea why I have been called to testify," Fortas said, "because I always left an office with the only thing I brought to it - my hat," a reference to the officials who leave a post and take with them truckloads of all their files. "Furthermore," he said, "like my law partner told me the other day, I'm at an age where the things I remember best - probably never happened "My reward came from my nephews and nieces and their own recollections. Paulette wrote, "Doing this brought a few tears, some laughs and memories of a very happy childhood. It also gives me an opportunity to say how important my family is to me." Gary wrote, "It is a powerful, moving account. You had me grimacing, reading sections out loud to Karen, and introspecting about my own past on Grandma and Grandpa's farm. You've told our story for us, and I'm grateful for all your work on it. Its value will outlast your life and mine."Wesley Washington, 1990

Ein d sterer Friedhof, darauf zwei unheimliche Antagonisten: der Totengr ber und der Totenheber. Es erfolgt die gespenstische ffnung eines Grabes und die Exhumierung der Magda Fietich, von der vieles noch nicht gestorben ist. Dann die mystische Wandlung w hrend eines au ergew hnlichen Rituals in der alten Kapelle und ein in die Katastrophe f hrendes Resonanzsystem aus Schuld, Angst und dem rastlosen B sen. Denn mit Magda Fietich wird nicht nur ein Leichnam aus dem Grab gehoben, sondern mit ihm auch die konturlosen D monen aus dem Bodensatz eines verzweifelten Lebens. Die Exhumierung der Magda Fietich mag auf den ersten Blick als fantastische Fabel daherkommen, doch bei genauerem Hinsehen wird mit dem Grab nicht nur der Zugang zu einem verwesten Leichnam, sondern auch zum versch tteten Seeleben der Protagonisten er ffnet. Die Erz hlung gliedert sich in drei Teile. Neben der eigentlichen Exhumierung wirkt im kurzen Intermezzo "Das Gespenst" nicht nur das grauenerregende Ritual fort, sondern auch die unheilvolle Energie des mittlerweile riesig gewordenen Friedhofs, der zu einem gespenstischen Eigenleben erwacht ist. "Magdas Martyrium" versetzt die mystische Geschichte in die Gegenwart der Hansestadt L beck, in der sich das Grauen vergangener Jahrhunderte beinahe nahtlos im Alltag einer durchschnittlichen Familie im sch nen Stadtteil Sankt J rgen fortsetzt.

Med denna bok vill jag lyfta ett ämne som många gånger fortfarande är tabubelagt. Att man ska få älska vem man vill oavsett om det är någon med samma kön som en själv. Det kan för många vara svårt att acceptera. Jag ville skapa en barnbok som snuddar vid ämnet på ett sätt som barn kan förstå. Jag hoppas att min bok kan vara med och ändra på vår syn och få fler att acceptera andras läggning. Jag hoppas att min bok får bli den första boken som tar detta exempel i djurvärlden för att lyfta den egentliga verkligheten.
