    REVIEW 
    5.0 out of 5 stars If you feel alone in your suffering, this is the book to hold.

    Somehow, Michael has been able to take the most searing loss and transform it into words that bless, comfort and inspire. Two other resources help me with grief: the movie: What Dreams May Come and the CD/book, Graceful Passages. When She Died stands powerfully beside these masterpieces. It brings understanding, order, and compassion to the unthinkable, shocking and unbearable nature of loss. 
    Mish's words are eloquent, and cut to the core nature of sorrow without trite religious platitudes, psychological jargon, or a hint of falsehood. One receives a road map through the horrific shock of loss, and a steady guide to light your way. 
    The writing is clean and clear. Even if you're not currently dealing with a fresh grief, reading Michael's intimate reactions will touch and teach. 
    It is not maudlin or cloying. When She Died is clean, clear and clarifying. Furthermore, its a "page turner." 
    Couldn't put it down. Read in one sitting.

    Divine Females explores the sacred, mysterious, and often awe-inspiring roles of women in mythologies across time and cultures. This 3-in-1 collection highlights the power, wisdom, and influence of feminine figures in ancient stories, featuring Mythical Women, Gods and Legends, and The Myths of the Maya. From creators and warriors to queens and enchantresses, these women shaped the cosmos, guided heroes, and embodied both chaos and creation. 
    In Mythical Women, uncover the stories of goddesses and legendary heroines like Athena, Isis, Kali, and Amaterasu—each with distinct roles that challenge, protect, or define their worlds. Then, in Gods and Legends, zoom out to see how these divine females interacted with other deities and myths from various global traditions, often as the heart of the moral, magical, or cosmic balance. These stories show that power in mythology isn't just physical—it's emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. 
    Finally, The Myths of the Maya offers a deep dive into the feminine aspects of this intricate belief system. Discover moon goddesses, fertility spirits, and the symbolic role of women in Maya cosmology and daily life. Whether feared, revered, or adored, these divine females offer a powerful lens into how ancient civilizations saw the world—and the women who helped shape it.

    Madison & Adams Press presents the Civil War Memories Series. This meticulous selection of the firsthand accounts, memoirs and diaries is specially comprised for Civil War enthusiasts and all people curious about the personal accounts and true life stories of the unknown soldiers, the well known commanders, politicians, nurses and civilians amidst the war. 
    Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Virginia is not a classical memoir work from the Civil War. Author did not want to write exclusively about his experience in the war, even though he drew on his time in the army for several chapters. Instead, he wanted to underscore the importance of common Confederate soldiers within Lost Cause memory.The Lost Cause of the Confederacy is an ideological assertion made by many Confederate veterans which claimed that the cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was just, heroic, and not centered on slavery.
