Pam spent her twenties pursuing how to live honestly and purposefully by challenging herself beyond her comfort zone. Now, in her thirties, she writes about the experiences that had the greatest impacts on her while exploring what it is to be one type of woman searching for Truth in a very distracted world. Each piece, though varying in length, seriousness and subject matter, delves into the lessons she's uncovered. Whether she's writing about the year she lived in her car, what happened after she shaved her head, or choosing to be single, each essay comes back to one question: what is really valuable in this life?

After a desperate call for help from her friends back in Mac Town, Antarctica, Ionia returns home.

Fans of Divergent, Hunger Games, and Cinder will love this action-packed trilogy ender filled with futuristic teen romance, mystery, and adventure.

Pamela Stewart is a self-described "literary proctologist," and her writing often looks into places that people generally don't want to look. The stories in 'Elysium' are about the difficulties of life we all encounter as human beings, the fragility of life-the physical, mental, and spiritual challenges we must try to overcome. They are about ordinary people, characters searching for meaning. People are rescued, but not always in the way they hoped for or expected. Stewart's work is character-driven and empathetic. Pamela Stewart spent twenty years as a private investigator, which gave her a special insight into human behaviour. "Because I spent so many years alone in a car watching people, my perspective on people is a bit different. I would watch someone for three or so days in a row, and in that time get a capsule version of their life, but it was skewed because I was part of their life, yet not part; they didn't know I was in it," she says. "Writing about people is kind of like that too." "There is a sense in her fiction that Stewart has the patience and perspicacity to get it just right-to write meanginful, artful stories that permit readers immediate access." - Front & Centre
