Undo Me

  Undo Me At twenty-three, Emilia returns to the small town she once tried to escape, determined to begin again. With a new apartment, a place at City University, and dreams of becoming a writer, she is ready to take control of her future. Then she meets Leon. Dark, magnetic, and infuriatingly guarded, Leon is more than Emilia's across-the-hall neighbour. He is also her college project partner and the one man who refuses to be charmed by her beauty. Their attraction is immediate, their clashes electric, and staying away from each other soon becomes impossible. But there is something unsettlingly familiar about Leon. Behind his cold smiles and wounded eyes lies a truth he refuses to reveal-a secret rooted in their shared past that Emilia no longer remembers. As desire deepens into love, Leon's silence threatens to poison everything between them. Because some wounds never truly disappear, and when the past finally resurfaces, Emilia must decide whether their love was ever real-or...

Bid Whist at Midnight

Image
          Bid Whist at Midnight By Marva Washington History does not only live-in textbooks—it lives in the people who had to survive it. A card table, an empty chair, and nearly twenty years of silence provide the deceptively intimate setting for Marva Washington’s  Bid Whist at Midnight . What begins as a late-night reunion among former college friends Sardis, Grace, and Dorcus gradually becomes something far more revealing: an examination of friendship, memory, identity, and the history people carry long after the defining moment has passed. The novel opens in February 1988, when the women reunite for the game that once helped bind them together in college. Their familiar rhythm cannot completely disguise what has changed. Four chairs surround the table, but Taletha will not be joining them, and the absence immediately gives the gathering emotional weight.  From there, Washington reaches back into their college years, placing personal stories alongs...

    50 YEARS IN A SECT: My Life with a Radical 'Sex Cult'! 50 Years in a Sect: My Life with a Sex Cult!  tells the story of life within one of recent history’s most controversial religious sects: The Children of God! Later changing its name to the Family of Love, or simply ‘The Family’ -- the fast-growing and highly unorthodox Christian movement gained notoriety as a ‘sex cult’ due to its practice of using sex to win converts! It also believed in sexual ‘sharing’ with other adults within one’s communal group. Following a firebrand maverick preacher, members left their old lives behind and dropped out of society to begin new lives in idealistic communes, made up mostly of ex-hippies and society rejects who now lived together and shared everything. Members quickly learned that the end of the world was not far away, with Jesus expected to come back in 1993! David Berg, nicknamed Moses David, the founder and self-styled prophet of this ‘spiritual revolution’, had warning drea...

Broken Pieces: There is beauty in scars a Kaleidoscope of colors

  Broken Pieces: There is beauty in scars a Kaleidoscope of colors By: TL Stankus Can a scar become more than a reminder of pain and instead become part of a larger picture of faith, endurance, and purpose? Some Christian living books teach through principles. Tracey Stankus’s  Broken Pieces: There is Beauty in Scars | A Kaleidoscope of Colors  takes another path: it places faith inside the complicated realities of lived experience. Written as a faith-centered memoir,  Broken Pieces  moves through family fractures, addiction, grief, relationships, caregiving, difficult choices, and the long process of learning when to hold on and when to establish boundaries. Stankus makes clear from the beginning that the purpose of revisiting the past is not simply to recount hardship. Her hope is that people facing their own struggles may recognize that they are not alone and that darkness does not have to be the final destination.  That perspective gives the book partic...
