Appointed to her husband's senate seat after he is killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan, Senator Ryland is a thirty year veteran with extensive experience in foreign policy and strategic planning.

Judith Ford was a successful psychotherapist with a relatively new second marriage, a full-time clinical practice, and three children. She was also a runner, a yoga-practitioner, a dancer, and a writer when she came down with a mysterious illness that landed her in the hospital for a full summer and nearly ended her life. She recovered through a combination of Western medicine and shamanic journeys. A few years later she helped her parents through their final illnesses. This book is both her story and theirs, about how each of them maintained hope or sometimes despaired. It's about how they each suffered and rallied, laughed, loved, forgave, and let go. And it's about how all of us live in the shadows of the unknown and the unanswerable.

Home Is Where the Rajawala' Are: Living in Time and Space the Highland Maya Way

The Mayan peoples of Highland Guatemala inhabit an animate universe, interacting daily with the immanent spirits of the physical environment, with their ancestors, and with the people, plants and animals that surround them. Ajq'ija', Mayan spiritual guides, help mediate between these living energies, the rajawala'. The authors detail the basic knowledge that ajq'ija' use to dialogue with the rajawala'. The book explores how the sacred manifests through time and space protecting and defining habitable environs for Maya people and communities. Each community has its own encircling constellation of guardian energies and their altars. The authors address the current threats to these altars, including private property holders cutting off access, traditional caretakers failing to pass on their positions, vandalism, religious opposition, pollution, and targeted violence against practitioners. The book itself mirrors the structure of ritual, the constant (re-)creation of sacred space with concomitant dialogue with the spiritual energies that define it. The authors hope to share Mayan techniques and understandings of how to live within this sacred space.

Brought up between the controlling, strict matriarchal presences of her foster mother and grandmother, Judith never had the opportunity to ask about her birth parents, and was discouraged from even acknowledging the possibility of a wider family. Hers was a 'seen but not heard' upbringing, with loving but uncompromising guardians who would be familiar to anyone who grew up in the fifties. It's unsurprising, therefore, that it took Judith so many years to brave the question of her origin, and start a journey of self-discovery. By this time it was too late for such questions to be easily answered, and it would take many years of perseverance for the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle to fall into place. In the meantime, Judith grew and changed, married and had children of her own, all the while with a single question niggling in the back of her head: where did she come from? This is a journey with surprises, reunions, travel, loss and love, homecomings and heartbreak; the story of an isolated, cowed only child growing into an adventurous woman, determined to track down her family. As the fog of Judith's early life lifts and her family tree becomes visible, developments grow ever more surprising. My Hidden Family is a heart-warming memoir about the family you're given, and the family you find.

The dubious experiment in political economy and social engineering known as socialism, which distorted the functioning of Russia and the Eastern European countries and did horrifying damage to their populations for much of the twentieth century, left its mark on many industries. One industry, which has not received as much attention as other larger ones, is horticulture, with its subsector of floriculture. In 1945, at the end of World War II, Germany was finally divided into two sectors-east and west. By a curious fluke of history, the largest part of German flower production had long been situated in three eastern states, including Erfurt in Thuringia. East Germany inherited this wonderful industry, run by prosperous companies with enlightened owners and a background of constantly developing new and more beautiful plants. In my two previous books about the work of heroic flower breeders, it turned out that a number of them had ended up behind the Iron Curtain. Their new communist masters abhorred successful private industry and started to dismantle these firms as soon as they could in the name of building a "socialist eden." The result was tragedy. The leaders of the industry were often arrested, even killed, lost both businesses and the property on which they stood and, if they were lucky enough to escape to West Germany, gave up all their rights. The government collectivized the firms, setting up lumbering organizations to replace them. Prices were set, regardless of basic economic factors. There were no incentives to do a good job. The Benary family had been leaders in breeding begonias. Wilhelm Elsner was the third generation in his family to head a company that specialized in pelargoniums ("geraniums" to the rest of us). He was locked out of his nursery in Dresden and not permitted to enter it again until after the Berlin Wall came down in 1989. See what happened to so many others.

Return of the Good: A Story of Fairies in Our World

When Ashlynn and Robert came to live in the forest with Gram, they never imagined that they would become friends with fairies. And who knew that fairies could be turned EVIL? These children must save their family, the forest itself, and the fairies they have come to know and love with the help of Leah, the fairy queen.
In 1 Corinthians 7 Paul advises not marrying, unless one "burns." No exception is made for marrying to have children. Judith Gundry seeks to explain Paul's striking departure from biblical teaching on marriage and procreation as obligations based on being created "male and female" to "be fruitful and multiply."She argues that 1 Corinthians 7 is best read in the light of ancient texts on marriage and procreation to establish and perpetuate households. In Greco-Roman antiquity, the household was essential not only to the future of the cosmos and welfare of the state, but also to individual men facing their own mortality. Men married to establish households and obtain legitimate children as heirs to carry on their names and family lines. This required women to bear children, and children to perform duties in honor of their parents. The household thus determined social roles. But from a Jewish apocalyptic or early Christian perspective, things looked different. The resurrection of the dead had begun, suggesting a diminished purpose for marriage. The eschatological distress was impending, implying that affliction rather than blessing would befall procreators. The ideal of concord was unattainable in communities divided into competing households. Some had already joined celibate communities where members pursued contemplation or mutual service, rather than heirs and individual households. Judith Gundry shows that Paul's directives and advice in 1 Corinthians 7 compare well with such perspectives. Paul's advice to prefer celibacy - for those who could avoid sexual immorality - was a recommendation of childlessness over abundant fertility. His warning to the married about affliction in the impending distress was an attempt to spare them the awful consequences of procreation in the end-times. His instruction to husbands to curtail sex with their wives hinted at giving up the conventional use of wives to obtain heirs, and instead having nonprocreative sex. His allowance of sexual abstinence in marriage by mutual agreement "for a suitable time" alluded to an ancient contraceptive method. His description of Christ-believers' children as "consecrated" to God undercut their significance for perpetuating households.Gundry concludes that being created "male and female" (hence, sexual differences) mattered to Paul without entailing the obligation to procreate and other gender-specific roles integral to the household. This view is contradicted in the later Pauline tradition (Colossians, Ephesians, and the Pastoral Epistles), where the household again plays a key role.
