There's a dark side to wealth, to immensely powerful men.I lived through it. Hell, I almost died because of it.Once bitten, twice wiser. I thought my battles were over-I was wrong.ChristaLeft with limited choices, here I am, a face among millions, another runaway hoping to lose herself in the Big Apple.And I will not-dare not-repeat the mistakes of my past.Mister I-always-get-what-I-want Dayton Somers may have manipulated me into accepting his bizarre offer, but he needn't think I'm in awe of his reputation, or in any way impressed by him.Sure, he's charming and successful-but I see through the veneer to the darkness lurking beneath.He might hold my immediate future in his hands, but he'll never have me.DaytonI'm a winner, a fighter, a man who knows what he wants, and how to get it.The day Christa Adams walks into my building, I know I've found my latest challenge.Her skittish behavior pushes me to look deeper.What's her story? Who is she running from? How can I persuade her to trust me?Christa can erect her barriers, but I'll tear down every single one.She may not realize it yet, but she's mine.
ChristaI thought justice would save me-I was wrong.Sutton Atwood, the man who almost killed me, is back. This time, his weapon of choice is the very legal system that was supposed to protect me and mine.He wants my son-not because he loves him, but because he hates me.I can't let him win. I won't let him win. If compromise is my only option I'll take it, even if it kills me.Sorry Dayton, I love you, but my son must come first.DaytonHow can I protect the woman I love if I'm part of the threat?By any and every means possible, that's how-except Christa's not making my fight easy. Why would she when I still have everything to prove and she has everything to lose?Sure, I can compromise-maybe-but fair warning, retreat is definitely not in my nature.I'm in a league of my own, a winner, a fighter, and I absolutely will not quit until my enemies are eliminated.

In this chronological study of Christa Wolf's novels, short stories and essays, Margit Resch surveys the literary career of one of Germany's most acclaimed writers. Resch examines the link between Wolf's writing and her country's traumatic past and contends that any assessmnt of the writer must consider the historical metamorphoses of Germany during her lifetime - from fascism to socialism to democracy. Resch explores central questions about Wolf's life and work, including why Wolf, who enjoyed unrestricted travel privileges, remained in the East when she could easily have defected; how she was able to survive artistically in an authoritarian regime; which qualities in her writing earned the respect of major critics on both sides of the Wall; why she has chosen not to identify with the feminist movement; and what she has contributed to German and world literature. Resch provides readings of Wolf's major works, including ""Divided Heaven, ""The Quest for Christa T."", ""Patterns of Childhood"", ""Cassandra"" and ""What Remains"".

Art and feminist theology often explore the figure of the feminine side of Christ. However, the risen Christa has had little if any coverage within these fields. Now, "Seeking the Risen Christa" (by Nicola Slee) uses a well-crafted combination of reflection, illustration and poetry to investigate the Risen Christa. The discussion revolves around the central narratives of the gospels and the major Christological themes. These subjects are re-imagined and revisited from the hypothetical perspective of Christa. Ultimately, Nicola Slee wants "Seeking The Risen Christ" to represent a search for a risen Christa and therefore encourage readers to develop a freer, unlimited relationship with Christ.
Most people remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, just as they remember how they felt when humans first set foot on the moon. Elements of both reactions are present in the story of Christa McAuliffe, the energetic young schoolteacher chosen to be the first civilian to go into space—and who died with her astronaut companions in the Challenger explosion of January 28, 1986. In this straightforward memoir, McAuliffe's mother, Grace George Corrigan, makes it very clear just who and what the nation lost in the Challenger tragedy. The product of family history, notes and letters, and the commemorative efforts to honor her daughter, A Journal for Christa provides a very personal biography of a remarkable young woman.Christa McAuliffe's story is solidly American—the eldest child of a close Catholic Massachusetts family, and a dedicated Girl Scout, she came of age in the turbulent sixties and early seventies and became a schoolteacher and mother. Generous, outgoing, funny, and beloved by her many friends and students, she was little known beyond her personal circle until selected by NASA to be the first civilian sent on a space mission as the "Teacher in Space." Whether or not the selection was a publicity stunt, Christa McAuliffe may have proved more than NASA bargained for. Honest, direct, and outspoken, she was impatient with the stultifying ceremonies of the government bureaucracy and did not hesitate to speak out on behalf of the constituency she felt she had been selected to represent: American public schoolteachers and the children in their classrooms.
