  Come share in the journey, the adventures, and the hardships of the Apostle John, tried before Emperor Domitian and exiled to the Greek island of Patmos. There, St. John encountered many hardships, but also began a new Christian Church. Christ performed many miracles through John on Patmos - many more than most know about the last living Apostle to walk with Jesus. The story of his exile is far more alive and interactive than you know. 
  We all know John received the Book of Revelation on Patmos - the last book of the New Testament in the Bible. This novel also shared parts of a small biography, written by Prochorus, one of the original seven deacons as listed in Acts 6:5. As St. John's scribe, his account greatly added to his friend's account on Patmos. 
  This is the time of Timothy, Papias, Ignatius of Antioch, and even young Polycarp, all who appear in this book. 
  St. John was challenged, first by Rome, then by the pagan priests on Patmos, and finally by a sorcerer, Kynops the Magician. 
  Come share in these historical adventures of the last living Apostle of Christ. Your journey and Christian faith can be shared, at least a little, with St. John.

  “A memoir that offers a rare, underrepresented perspective of World War II.” -Kirkus
  
  _A true story of a Romanian family’s miraculous survival of World War II, becoming refugees, fleeing their homeland, starving after the war, and coming to the United States to live the American Dream._Life was full of promise for the young Maroscher family. Gustav was a teacher; Helene was busy rearing two boys and managing their small farm. The war changed everything. While Gustav fought the Russians on the Eastern Front, Helene fled the advancing army to her sister’s house in Germany. Danger and hardship transformed Helene from a shy young mother into a lioness; she once pointed an illegal pistol at the Nazi refugee camp director to save her younger son’s life. In the early years of the war, Gustav had helped a Jewish friend at considerable risk to himself. As a released prisoner of war, Gustav faced certain arrest after returning home. His friend, now the communist police commissioner, protected him. Eventually, though, his friend could no longer protect him, and Gustav fled to the West.To reunite the family, Helene and her sons made a dangerous nighttime border crossing from communist East Germany to the West. After being reunited in West Germany they faced discrimination and hunger. The family immigrated to the USA and embraced the freedoms and opportunities of America. Gustav became an engineer working on NASA’s Moon Shot. Helene became an independent businesswoman. Their sons continue to thrive and enjoy their freedom.

  In the days before Roe v. Wade, an ambitious young journalist, abandoned by her beau, leaves Michigan for a dream job on the city desk of a Rochester, NY newspaper. Burned once, she's eager for love, but as the only "girl" in the newsroom, she's more concerned about finding allies and making friends. When a new leading man appears, she recognizes a kindred spirit. Soon her bylined stories claim front-page space. However, when she becomes pregnant, she must switch her attention from deadlines to decisions. With adoption on the horizon, she pushes her man to make a commitment. Sadly, he wants her, but not their daughter. Will Dusky ever find the little girl she longed to raise, and if she does, what will be the fallout from their years apart? In HOLE IN MY HEART, the author uses her skills as a journalist to report on the social history and long-term consequences of family separation. If you like true stories with strong women narrators, you'll love Lorraine Dusky's timely and heart-rending memoir about motherhood, identity and love. Written and narrated by a leader in the movement to reform adoption practices and the first to come out of the era's closet of shame.
