Heaven Only Knows

The last thing she needed was to be among the deceased on her 22nd wedding anniversary. Gwen Truax had the day perfectly scheduled. She was a key asset in her company's upcoming merger. And above all, she was going to ask for a divorce from her simpleton husband. Instead, she finds herself at the desk of the Archangel Michael, demanding for explanations or at least a reserved parking space on a cloud. Much to her dismay, Michael informs her she is being returned to Earth with an assignment to prove herself worthy of admittance to the Hereafter. Specifically, she is to find a new wife for her widower husband, Dan. She must start from ground zero and is given a disturbing makeover into an unattractive typist named Betty Crocker, who now lives above a noisy Chinese restaurant. The once beautiful but cold-hearted executive is reduced to working as a subordinate in the company in which she was once a major player. During this journey Gwen meets an array of odd characters she might have dismissed in her former life as the planet's lowest common denominators. To her surprise she even falls in love again with the man she thought she hated, and starts to believe that this was the purpose of her test. She commands Michael to allow her to return to Dan, but it is not to be. Her test is of greater strength and love, for only in coming to care deeply for others can she truly make a choice that will have their best interests at heart.

The Spellbox

By: Christina Hamlett

When American tourists Lucy McLaverty and Maxine Desmond saw the sign "Thistleburn - Experience the Medieval" - they thought of nothing more than finding a welcome respite from a fierce storm buffeting the Scottish highlands. But when morning comes, more than the weather has changed. Though still in Scotland, they discover they have been transported 700 years into the past.With little more than their wits to protect them, Lucy and Max are immediately branded as witches and locked in the castle dungeon to await the judgment of the Laird of Thistleburn, Sir Evan Lyells. His timely return brings an end to the first plot to burn them at the stake but makes a dangerous enemy of the castle's cunning English priest, Adair Beath. Lucy's ability to read (a talent previously reserved to Beath) and to speak foreign languages proves valuable to the brawny laird. Soon she is at his side regularly and an improbable chemistry begins to develop between the two. That chemistry ignites during a raucous banquet, featuring the cuisine of restaurateur Maxine, when Sir Evan reveals to Lucy the dark secret that has blackened his heart. For Lucy, the emptiness of her life in modern times has finally been filled but with a man--and in a century--to which she can never belong. THE SPELLBOX captures the passion of Lucy and Sir Evan in a backdrop of violence, rebellion, and treachery that was Scotland seven centuries ago. Two resourceful women survive the challenge and adventure of this mysterious journey, and when only one returns to modern time, the story that links the past, the present, and the future is complete.

Lights of a Hometown Harbor

By: Christina Hamlett

When Morgan, a writer for a Seattle children’s show, advertises for a boarder to help share the rent on her Whidbey Island lighthouse, she has no idea that it will bring with it a part of the past she yearns to forget. Her new tenant is Barry Wells, an entertainment lawyer from New York. Wealthy, articulate, respectful, devastatingly handsome and, from the ring on his left hand, married. While Wells will certainly solve her current financial woes, a new crisis was created the moment their eyes met. Suddenly, her peaceful life is turned upside down by questions that have no answers - the family he seems to devoted to and yet leaves for the entire summer...his pride and joy - a darling little daughter whose face reminds Morgan of the painful emptiness in her own life. And why should Barry Wells come all the way to Whidbey if he's searching for new talent in Seattle? One look at him and it's obvious that he has never stayed anywhere but the very best hotels. He belongs on the cover of GQ, she thinks, not in an Eddie Bauer catalogue. The tension mounts when Morgan discovers by accident that he has a connection to Vinnie Prosio, her ex-husband - an aspiring musician at the time they divorced but now a rock superstar with all the excesses that go with it.

Britain and the Continent 1660‒1727

Political Crisis and Conflict Resolution in Mural Paintings at Windsor, Chelsea, Chatsworth, Hampton Court and Greenwich

By: Christina Strunck

This monograph examines the most prestigious political paintings created in Britain during the High Baroque age. It investigates a period characterized by numerous social, political, and religious crises, in the years between the restoration of the Stuart monarchy (1660) and the death of the first British monarch from the House of Hanover (1727). On the basis of hitherto unpublished documents, the book elucidates the creation and reception of nine major commissions that involved the court, private aristocratic patrons, and/or civic institutions. The ground-breaking new interpretations of these works focus on strategies of conflict resolution, the creation of shared cultural memories, processes of cultural translation, the performative context of the murals and the interaction of painted images and architectural spaces.

Quicklet on Randy Pausch, Jeffrey Zaslow's The Last Lecture

By: Christina St-Jean

ABOUT THE BOOK I’d stumbled upon Randy Pausch, a youngish professor from Carnegie Mellon University, quite by accident in 2011. I’d been looking for a good PowerPoint presentation about time management, and the one he gave was deemed to be really interesting, according to the Google searches I’d done. As I read the mini-bio attached to the file, it occurred to me that I’d heard the name before, so I did some further searching and realized he had written “The Last Lecture”, which I’d heard so much about a few years ago. I immediately headed out and picked up a copy. As I read, I was stunned by the powerful simplicity of his writing. I had already watched “The Last Lecture” on YouTube, as millions had during the time in which the presentation had gone viral, but I was surprised at the profound effect the book had on me. This was a man who, by all accounts, had everything going for him: a great job that he loved, three very young children and a beautiful wife whom he adored. MEET THE AUTHOR Christina St-Jean an Ontario English teacher with a great passion for American literature in particular and the written word in general. Her two daughters, aged 3 and 7, also seem to have a love of books, as her 7 year old just started reading Tom Sawyer herself. Christina follows global events as closely as she can but also enjoys entertainment news. Currently, she is working towards a black belt in karate. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK If anything, The Last Lecture showed to the world just how pervasive media attention is today; after the lecture itself became a YouTube sensation, Pausch made appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Prime Time Live with Diane Sawyer, in addition to appearing on Time’s Top 100 list of the world’s most influential people for 2008. He drew the attention of Katie Couric, The Wall Street Journal’s Jeffrey Zaslow, director J.J. Abrams, and none other than Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner. He testified before Congress to encourage more funding to be directed to pancreatic cancer research and received a letter from the original President Bush. Buy a copy to keep reading!
