The novel is set in Los Angeles and follows a tenacious inner-city teen who is eventually a victim of many of the social evils that plague children in many low-income neighborhoods.

Peacefulness - Finding Serenity...

Esther Jameson

Peacefulness is often viewed as a state of being calm and free from disturbance, but its true nature goes much deeper. It is not just the absence of noise, chaos, or stress; it is a profound inner state that arises from balance and harmony within oneself. To understand peacefulness, it is essential to recognize that it is not a passive experience. It requires conscious effort, self-awareness, and intentional practice. 
At its core, peacefulness is a state of mind. It is about finding tranquility within oneself, irrespective of external circumstances. While external factors such as a quiet environment or a peaceful community may contribute to our sense of peace, the ultimate source of serenity lies within. True peacefulness is not fleeting or dependent on situations. It is a lasting quality that can remain even in the face of challenges. 
A peaceful person is someone who has cultivated the ability to remain centered in the midst of life’s inevitable ups and downs. This kind of peace is not about escaping from the world or disengaging from responsibilities. Instead, it is about responding to life’s demands with grace, clarity, and composure. A person at peace is able to accept the present moment, without clinging to the past or fearing the future.

Julia Blacksmith

Ancient Mythologies invites readers into the epic tales, divine dramas, and timeless wisdom of three powerful ancient traditions. This 3-in-1 collection explores the fascinating mythological worlds of Egyptian Mythology, The Greek Pantheon, and The Gods of the Nile—offering a rich tapestry of creation stories, epic battles, moral lessons, and supernatural beings that have shaped cultures for thousands of years. 
In Egyptian Mythology, readers will encounter gods who ruled over life and death, the afterlife, and the forces of nature. From Ra the sun god to Osiris, Isis, and Anubis, these myths reveal how the ancient Egyptians understood the cosmos, kingship, and the journey of the soul. The Greek Pantheon then brings to life the iconic gods and heroes of Olympus—Zeus, Athena, Hades, and more—whose rivalries, romances, and feats continue to influence literature, psychology, and popular culture to this day. 
Lastly, The Gods of the Nile offers a closer look at the regional deities of ancient Egypt and the spiritual significance of the Nile River itself. These myths emphasize the connection between nature and divinity, the cyclical rhythm of life, and the sacred role of water in sustaining civilization. Together, these three volumes weave a spellbinding journey through the beliefs, stories, and legacies of ancient peoples who sought to explain the mysteries of the universe through myth.
