Summary

In "Lilith," Ada Langworthy Collier crafts a thought-provoking narrative that intertwines themes of gender, spirituality, and the quest for identity. The novella employs a rich, lyrical style marked by vivid imagery and allegorical elements, reflecting the late 19th-century fascination with mysticism and the supernatural. As the protagonist navigates her tumultuous relationship with the enigmatic figure of Lilith, the text challenges the patriarchal narratives prevalent in biblical exegesis, elevating female experience and empowerment in a world defined by male authority. Ada Langworthy Collier, a pioneering author and advocate for women's rights, drew upon her own experiences and the socio-political climate of her time to write "Lilith." Influenced by the burgeoning feminist movement and her engagement with the spiritualist circles of the era, Collier emerged as a voice for those marginalized by traditional narratives. Her background as a poet and a writer enriched her storytelling, allowing her to explore complex themes with nuance and sensitivity. This book is an essential read for those interested in feminist literature, biblical reinterpretation, and the spiritual dimensions of identity. Collier's insightful portrayal of Lilith resonates profoundly today, making it a timeless exploration of the struggles faced by women seeking autonomy and self-definition. Readers will find in "Lilith" not only a narrative but a profound commentary on the persistence of gender dynamics across time.

But if Henry hopes ever to sleep again, he will stay in Saul’s Run until he solves the mystery of his father’s death . . . and forces himself to remember what he and Perry found stirring in the hills outside of town many years ago.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    I stood fixated at the sight in front of me, the magnificence of his features I could still see through the bloodstains on his cheeks. A grunt then hiss of pain suddenly escape his swollen lips and his eyes flutter open. He is still alive. 
    New town, new house… new dangers. 
    For Lynn, ditching Miami and moving to a small town hadn’t been about leaving her old life behind, it had been about moving forward with her new one. Though she hadn’t anticipated that this newfound happiness, she had discovered here would come with new threats. 
    It’s been 11 years since the gathering, and since Lynn discovered more about her true ancestry. They’d all learned a lot more about family, friendship, and their gifts, except along with this knowledge came the sacrifices and loses that we tended to learn about the hard way. Thankfully, there have been many joys, successes, and even a financial windfall for them along the journey. But what came next, this new threat, not even Lynn’s gift of premonition could have ever seen it coming. 
    What if the wrong people knew you could see or sense things that they couldn’t. What if it put you, your family, and so many other innocents in danger? But what if you could help the innocent by using your gift—would you do it, would you risk it?
