Hope

Nadine Touma Daher

Beschreibung

After an intense first mystical experience, Hope is diagnosed as bipolar. She is treated for mental illness until she meets an unconventional doctor who reveals to her that she has the ability to communicate with the afterlife. Her so-called manic episodes are actually trances.

Inspired by the author’s mystical experiences, Hope’s story combines spirituality and paranormal adventures and asks fundamental questions:
Is reality confined to what we can see, touch and prove, or does the truth extend far beyond?
Is traditional medicine suitable for those we call “mentally ill”? Are they “abnormal” in the sense defective, unfit, sometimes frightening, even dangerous, or are they simply endowed with an extraordinary sensitivity to the world which, for some, even manifests itself through extrasensory gifts?


French national living in Dubai, Nadine Touma Daher grew up in Paris where she graduated from the leading business school ESSEC. After 25 years in the corporate world, she decided to quit it all, in search of more meaning to her life. Hope A spiritual quest is her first book, the result of fifty years of soul searching and questioning on what is considered “reality”.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews
