Sinopse

'Shall we have a real conversation? I am ready to stop pretending if you are.'
Peace didn't know what she needed when her father died. Then she found Bolu, her halfbrother from Nigeria, whom she didn't know existed. Filled with grief and a thousand questions, Peace ignores her mother's concerns, and invites Bolu to England. His arrival feels like something clicking into place.
But questions about this stranger's intentions and his mysterious past hang heavy in the air. Desperate to keep her fractured family – and herself – together, Peace must face the fact that the answers she desperately seeks might just lead to everything falling apart.
Faith Omole's play My Father's Fable is a gripping story of grief, belonging, and a family on the edge. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Rebekah Murrell.

    An innovative hybrid of memoir and fiction, Noboku is kind of like Call Me By Your Name, but the two main characters are women, and it's set in Japan. 
    Nobuko is based on author Trisha Ready's experiences teaching English in the 1980s in Japan, where she fell for a woman who lived in a rustic cabin and made dentures for a living. A twisting maze of subplots involve the yakuza, the Japanese organized crime syndicate -- as well as food, art, adventure, samurai swords, and marriage. 
    At its core, this is a true-life love story in which Ready reflects on what she's learned and what might have been.

    INTO LIGHT is the sixth poetry collection from the international, award-winning poet, musician and artist, M. D. Friedman, and is his first full-length poetry book. It reflects the experiences, observations, dreams and epiphanies of a lifetime, speaks quietly about the calling of the heart and loudly about injustices of the world. Eclectic in style and content, M. D. Friedman's poetry connects both the inner and outer realities of a life well-lived. INTO LIGHT Volume Two: The Poems of M. D. Friedman, the audio book, contains the 22 poems from the middle M. D. Friedman's INTO LIGHT poetry book. For all things INTO LIGHT, e.g., print, e-book, audio book, album, musical and video poetry rendentions, please see liquidlightpress.com/IntoLight.htm. "These poems are the masterwork of a different kind of man than most men I’ve known in my 73 years. He is, as we used to say, 'his own man.' More than a disciple of some orthodox poetry 'church,' you'll meet a mindful, funny, wise and compassionate person in these texts, unafraid to speak honestly and vulnerably. From Li Po to Robert Johnson, memory care to contemporary politics, grieving lament to defiant slam, MD lays it all out about as clearly as a poet can while leaving enough tantalizing mystery to feed the reader's soul for days on end. He really believes, 'It is a miracle to be alive.'! His poems encourage me to believe it, too!!" ~ wayne a. gilbert, poet and Colorado Governor's Creative Leadership Award winner "This long anticipated poetry collection opens like a portal that will rainbow a monochrome world. Reminiscent of Rumi and Hafiz, you will taste the landscape with your tongue, unable to separate your own inner body from the mountains and sky you inhabit, 'not the waterfall, but the water falling,' ... 'no longer sculpted by gravity.” A love poem to life herself, you will want to take your time, savoring each languid line. 'I am taken by how much I need this.'!" ~ Valerie A Szarek, award winning poet

    The Wild Delight of Wild Things

    Although grief is at the forefront of these poems, The Wild Delight of Wild Things is a simple love letter to Turner's late wife, poet Ilyse Kusnetz (1966-2016). The poems are also a love letter to our planet during the ongoing sixth mass extinction. Intertwining this immense grief, Turner explores the hybrid borderlands of genre, and the meditations on love and loss blur the boundaries between poetry and lyric prose. In Italian, the word "stanza" is rooted in the word "room." And so, stanza by stanza, room by room, page by page, we draft ourselves forward into the imagination, our arms filled with all that we can carry from the days gone by. This is the art of survival. Profound grief teaches us how to dwell in the house of memory—that vibrant temporal landscape of the past—where we might live with the dead we love once more.

Every story gently points forward to the birth of Jesus, reminding us that His arrival was not an afterthought, but part of God’s perfect plan from the very beginning. 
    This devotional invites families and individuals alike to trace the golden thread of God’s promises through Scripture, from creation to the manger, and to see how every promise finds its fulfillment in Christ. With beauty, hope, and wonder woven into every page, Our Long-Expected Gift celebrates our God who will stop at nothing to show His love for us.
