Kayla Winters is no stranger to struggling, but the past year was too much, even for her. Kayla knows she needs to reclaim her life, but when she gets stranded in a world of magic and living myths, she realises two things: One, closure is the last thing she’s going to get, and two, every fairy tale does indeed have a villain. Desperate to return home as quickly as she can, the last thing she needs is her overwhelming attraction for the gorgeous Prince Declan getting in the way. Especially when his father has the power to control minds and is obsessed with gaining entrance to the human realm. When she has no choice but to seek refuge inside the castle, Kayla has every intention to stay away from its overbearing ruler and his son… until that plan backfires too. Mind-bound, unable to escape, and forced into silence by a king who thinks her ancestry might be the key to his dreams of taking over the world, Kayla has until the next Winter Solstice for her true lineage—and her fate—to be determined. Between captivity at the hands of the king or certain doom, her options do not look so good. As the King’s cruelty escalates, her potential magical heritage might be the one thing that can save her. PRAISE & REVIEWS "I really enjoyed reading Among Stars and Shadows. The magical new world Kayla is thrust into is a fun read, and the attraction between Kayla and Declan is sweet. The danger inside the castle and outside the castle walls that Declan protects Kayla from is page-turning excitement. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy books and elves." -Early Reader Review "A beautifully written adult fairy tale filled with romance, action, magic and suspense. Farrugia conveys complex emotions with skill, drawing the reader into her captivating magical world." -Early Reader Review "Among Stars and Shadows is a gem, with a richly imagined world, a captivating love story, and a compelling cast of characters. I love the epic romance and the unusual twist in connection to Camelot. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves portal fantasy. An enchanting narrative!" -Beta Reader Review "Among Stars and Shadows pulled me in and didn't let go. The element of danger kept me on the edge of my seat and only built as the story unfolded... I fell for the characters as much as they fell for each other. 10/10 I recommend this book." -Starred Review

Changing the Paradigm of Homelessness offers a comprehensive look at family housing distress related to the homelessness epidemic in the United States. This book explores the causes and consequences of this epidemic and proposes drastic changes in America’s historically ill-fated approach to family homelessness. By describing this crisis in detail, the authors enlighten readers to the scope of this issue, describe those impacted by it, and outline ways to shift public policies and public perceptions. The authors interweave scholarly concepts with insights of those who are currently or previously homeless, and, in doing so, they show the importance of academic knowledge influencing policy decisions and the ways in which these influences impact the lives of real persons. This book, then, uses pedagogy, policy, and pragmatism to critique the United States’ approach to family homelessness.
Most Maltese immigrants came to the United States during the first decades of the 20th century after the discharge of skilled workers from the Royal British Dockyard in 1919 following the end of World War I. More than 1,300 Maltese came to the United States in the first quarter of 1920. Many people found work in the automobile industry, and with about 5,000 residents, Detroit had the largest Maltese population in the United States. Maltese in Detroit focuses on the many people of Maltese descent who made their homes in Detroit's Corktown area. By the mid-1920s, it is believed that more than 15,000 Maltese had settled in the United States. After World War II , the Maltese government launched a program to pay passage for Maltese willing to immigrate and remain abroad for at least two years. By the mid-1990s, an estimated more than 70,000 Maltese immigrants and descendants were living in the United States, with the largest single community in Detroit and its surrounding suburbs.
