Book excerpt: A journey into the experiences of incarcerated women in rural areas, revealing how location can reinforce gendered violence Incarceration is all too often depicted as an urban problem, a male problem, a problem that disproportionately affects people of color. This book, however, takes readers to the heart of the struggles of the outlaw women of the rural West, considering how poverty and gendered violence overlap to keep women literally and figuratively imprisoned. Outlaw Women examines the forces that shape women’s experiences of incarceration and release from prison in the remote, predominantly white communities that many Americans still think of as “the Western frontier.” Drawing on dozens of interviews with women in the state of Wyoming who were incarcerated or on parole, the authors provide an in-depth examination of women’s perceptions of their lives before, during, and after imprisonment. Considering cultural mores specific to the rural West, the authors identify the forces that consistently trap women in cycles of crime and violence in these regions: felony-related discrimination, the geographic isolation that traps women in abusive relationships, and cultural stigmas surrounding addiction, poverty, and precarious interpersonal relationships. Following incarceration, women in these areas face additional, region-specific obstacles as they attempt to reintegrate into society, including limited social services, significant gender wage gaps, and even severe weather conditions that restrict travel. The book ultimately concludes with new, evidence-based recommendations for addressing the challenges these women face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I tall people I have one aunty. Name jill she raised me when I little boy. She loves me so much. I am not forget her. Everytime I remember her love and care. David Das from Home of Joy Jills story has reconfirmed a long-held personal beliefthat missionaries arent normal. They are ordinary people who have allowed God to set their heart on fire with a passion for the lost and needy. They are willing to endure personal pain and hardship for the sake of their mission, and even if they return from the mission field, a part of their heart will never return with them. Jills openness in sharing all the ups and downs of her missionary journey will make this book a valuable resource for anyone who feels called to cross-cultural ministry, and it will also be a source of inspiration to all of us who long to reach our world with the love of Jesus Christ. Pastor Monte LeLaCheur, Turning Point Open Bible Church This journey with Christ is certainly an adventure. God gave me a love for His people in Bangladesh, not unlike the love he has for usrelentless. The Lord led me in and out of Bangladesh, each time under dramatic circumstances. Over a period of years, I was blessed to be a part of starting three medical clinics, while living at two different orphanages, taking care of hundreds of children who called me Auntie or Amma. God gave His love to them through my willing heart. I had prayed that God would break my heart with the things that break the heart of God. That prayer was answered in ways that were never expected.

Book excerpt: Neil Winscott, a discontented twentysomething, is finally coming round to the belief that Buracacia, the fantasy superpower world he'd imagined since childhood, was merely something he'd created to fill many voids in his life. But when the Buracacians not only become real but visit Earth to protect it from their arch-enemies, the Leeurns, Neil is forced to come face to face with his creation-and one senior Buracacian, the intuitive Starla, who considers him to have power over Buracacia's destiny. As Buracacian and Earthling cultures mingle uncomfortably, Neil feels anything but powerful and seeks solace with his salt-of-the-Earth friend Adam. When the Buracacians return to their planet, evacuating Earth's weary inhabitants for their own safety, the conflicts and bizarre situations that ensue not only test Neil's friendships but his sanity and conscience. Neil becomes forced to ask himself how much power and responsibility he has to help the Buracacians as an outright war with the Leeurns looms on the horizon. Buracacia is a sci-fi novel pregnant with psychological drama where childhood fantasy and harsh adult realities collide head on.

Book excerpt: I gave up on my plans for revenge. But can a girl with my past build the future I hope to have? Gabriel and I are leaving Blackmoor for good. A new life, a fresh start in a town called Whitfield, where he and his friends will start a new chapter of the Devil’s Sons—and I’ll start a new chapter too. I’ve left it all behind. The money, the power, the prestige, the girl I used to be and the things she thought she’d have—and my desire for revenge. I have a child to think of now, mine and Gabriel’s, and the future he’s promised us both. Those changes have brought me more happiness than I would have ever believed—but deep down, I’m still afraid. Can I truly start over? Can I be a biker’s wife, raise a family in a small town with love but no money? Can I make a new life from nothing, with the man I’ve promised to stay with forever? Or will the past—mine and Gabriel’s—haunt us forever? Gabriel has always wanted nothing more than to keep me forever. But we both have demons—and his have other plans. Keeping Winter is the final installment of the Blackmoor Revenge series, featuring Winter and Gabriel. This is a dark romance, and sensitive readers should be aware that there are no heroes or heroines in this story. This book contains material which may be difficult for some readers, and features characters that are damaged, and morally grey at best.

But the Morning Star Marketplace has also brought unexpected joy, as each woman finds her own true love . . . As Jo Fussner keeps the Marketplace humming, her heart dances with a joyous secret. Jo and Michael Wengerd, a shy nursery owner from a nearby town, have fallen hopelessly in love. When Michael buys a courting buggy, Jo is sure a proposal will follow. But she’ll have to work hard to gain her mother’s approval—because the widowed Drusilla Fussner is convinced that marriage will bring her daughter nothing but heartache. To win Jo’s hand, Michael enlists his father’s help in convincing Drusilla to give the marriage her blessing—and perhaps even open her heart to new happiness of her own. . . . But just as Jo and Michael’s hope for their future grows, an even bigger obstacle looms. The Amish elders vote to forbid any maidel from working once she marries. Now Jo must choose between the beloved store she’s put her heart into, and the man she can’t live without. Conflicted, Jo will have to trust that anything is possible when true faith guides the way . . .

The Seattle-based shape-shifting succubus is used to getting what she wants, when she wants. Until she falls for a mere mortal... Georgina is finally, irrevocably in love, and she doesn’t care who knows it. There’s just one problem. If she and her boyfriend, Seth Mortensen, succumb to their all-consuming desire, the consequences will be dire: Seth will be destroyed. Of course, no one cares about their struggle to keep their hands to themselves, especially not Georgina’s archdemon boss, who is sending her to L.A. to sit on a demon-run tribunal. An immortal has been murdered—and the high court is determined to find the killer and set an example... Bribery, corruption, murder—the three demons on trial will stop at nothing to avoid a guilty verdict. But all the dark magic zipping through the atmosphere must be going to Georgina’s head, because suddenly she suspects that Seth is up to no good. Now she can’t help but wonder how far she’d be willing to go to make sure she doesn’t lose the love of her immortal life...

Book excerpt: HAVE THINE OWN WAY is the fourth volume of THE GOINS BRICOLAGE, a saga of Tecumseh and Stonewall Counties in the State of Indiana. In this volume Lamar Ainsley Goins, an inept, middleaged minister of the Gospel who despite himself achieves national and international success, is driven from the pulpit of The Temple of Holy Truth & World Outreach Center of Aschburgh by his arch-enemy The Reverend Doctor Carter Bald. After a prolonged period of depression Lamar Ainsley begins a second career in Philately as the Assistant Editor For Oddities and Rarities (AEOR) of Mingold Philatelics, Ltd. of Wapakeneta, Ohio. Frustrated in this new career by the indecisiveness and personal agendas of his employers, Lucius and Mindy Mingold, Lamars life comes to an abrupt end under murky, if not suspicious, circumstances. As Lamars life and careers are spiraling out of control, his wife Starla Leanne and his sister Step Goins Perkins are busy reinventing and reinvigorating the town of Aschburgh. When Starla Leanne gives birth to Hans Ainsley Winslow Goins, the heir to the entire Goins Empire, she is prophetically declared both the Blessed Mother and the Handmaid of the Lord, and begins to move decisively into the position of head of the Goins Family and fortune.
