Madison's Angels

By: Elaine Laforge

Madison's Angels takes place in North Carolina, New Mexico, and Texas. Though the first chapter takes place twenty-seven years ago, the remainder of the story occurs during the current time period. Madison Cavanaugh is the only child of a single mother, Rosemary. When Madison was just an infant, Rosemary traveled from New Mexico to North Carolina with Ray Davis, who was a long-distance truck driver. With no other family, Rosemary is overwhelmed by the generosity and warmth bestowed on them by the Davis family. She and Madison soon become a part of their family. Ray's younger sister, Debbie, is also a single mother raising a daughter named Megan. Rosemary and Debbie become close friends and their two little girls spend their childhood together. Now an ER nurse, Madison recognizes the blood-covered pendant on her critically injured patient as belonging to her mother. When Rosemary dies during surgery and the surgeon explains to Madison that the woman who raised her had never delivered a child, her life is shaken to the core. Madison is determined to find her true identity. Her first step is to travel from North Carolina to New Mexico to locate a priest whose name her mother struggled to say before she died. But the more Madison learns, the deeper and more dangerous her investigation becomes. Elaine LaForge lives in the Finger Lakes region of New York. She is the mother of four and the grandmother of five. Now retired, she has the time to write the novels she has always envisioned in her mind.

Hope in the Holler

A Womanist Theology

By: Anna Elaine Brown Crawford

For more than three hundred years, black women have embodied a theology of hope which has enabled them to overcome a history of abuse and violence. While a theology of hope has been widely discussed in twentieth centry theology, it was born in slavery long before Jurgen Moltmann introduced it to America in 1967. Even womanist notions of hope have not explored the theological character of hope in abused black women's narratives. A. Elaine Brown Crawford argues that hope is the theological construct that moves black women beyond endurance and survival to transformation of their personal and communal realities. This book identifies and analyzes the theological vision of hope voiced within the narratives of enslaved, emancipated, and contemporary black women and brings that vision into discussion with contemporary womanist theologies.

A Practitioner’s Guide to Ancillary Orders in Criminal Courts

By: Elaine Freer

This book provides a clear analysis of those possibilities [created by the myriad of ancillary orders] and is to be welcomed: it will help judges and practitioners navigate the complex landscape that the law has created. [It] sets out the criteria and law surrounding orders and explains them clearly and in detail: it addresses an often overlooked area of the law but one that it is essential we understand and apply correctly." Sir Brian Leveson, President of the Queen's Bench Division, Head of Criminal Justice – in his Foreword to the book Ancillary orders often involve nuanced application of detailed law. Combined with the huge variety of situations to which they apply and ways in which they operate, the scope for error when working with them is high. This is the only guide to the law, application and analysis relating to Ancillary Orders, available to criminal courts, helping you to mitigate risk for your clients. A Practitioner's Guide to Ancillary Orders in Criminal Courts covers orders available on acquittal, such as Restraining Orders and Defence Costs Orders, as well as those only available on conviction, such as Compensation Orders and Directors' Disqualification Orders, with each Order set out in a self-contained chapter. As such, the law and precedent applying to that particular type of Order is simple to access. Legislation and case law covered includes: Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 Prosecution of Offences Act 1985 Protection from Harassment Act 1997 Sexual Offences Act 2003 Serious Crime Act 2007 Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 Firearms Act 1968 Company Directors' Disqualification Act 1986 Costs: Lord Howard of Lympne v DPP SHPOs: Cheyne, Connor SCPOs: Hancox and Duffy Driving disqualification: Needham Directors' disqualification: Cadman In addition to providing guidance on and analysis of those Orders, this book also sets out the consequences of breaches. It will help you ensure that clients do not have an unwarranted or overly-onerous order imposed upon them. An easy reference guide for advocates and courts alike.

Seasons of Insanity

Two Sisters’ Struggle with Their Eldest Sibling’S Mental Illness

By: Elaine Taylor,Julie Hanes

“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!” fourteen-year-old Jane cried, believing she was being bitten by spiders as she fled her bedroom to seek the comfort of the sofa in the downstairs living room. In succeeding nights, this behavior was repeated, only now, she was also shouting, “Bats in the belfry! Bats in the belfry!” imagining there were people occupying the unfinished area of the upstairs that was accessed through her bedroom. These episodes revealed for the first time she was having full-blown mental health issues. This was not news to her younger sisters, Elaine and Julie, who recognized from very young ages Jane’s inappropriate and antisocial behavior. As adults, the two younger sisters, for the most part, managed to escape from dealing with the tribulations presented by their older sister until their mother’s heart attack when they were thrown into Jane’s hell head on.

Intimate Lies and the Law

By: Jill Elaine Hasday

Jill Elaine Hasday's Intimate Lies and the Law won the Scribes Book Award from the American Society of Legal Writers "for the best work of legal scholarship published during the previous year" and the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award for Family and Relationships. Intimacy and deception are often entangled. People deceive to lure someone into a relationship or to keep her there, to drain an intimate's bank account or to use her to acquire government benefits, to control an intimate or to resist domination, or to capture myriad other advantages. No subject is immune from deception in dating, sex, marriage, and family life. Intimates can lie or otherwise intentionally mislead each other about anything and everything. Suppose you discover that an intimate has deceived you and inflicted severe-even life-altering-financial, physical, or emotional harm. After the initial shock and sadness, you might wonder whether the law will help you secure redress. But the legal system refuses to help most people deceived within an intimate relationship. Courts and legislatures have shielded this persistent and pervasive source of injury, routinely denying deceived intimates access to the remedies that are available for deceit in other contexts. Intimate Lies and the Law is the first book that systematically examines deception in intimate relationships and uncovers the hidden body of law governing this duplicity. Hasday argues that the law has placed too much emphasis on protecting intimate deceivers and too little importance on helping the people they deceive. The law can and should do more to recognize, prevent, and redress the injuries that intimate deception can inflict.

Worlds Enough

The Invention of Realism in the Victorian Novel

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Worlds Enough

The Invention of Realism in the Victorian Novel

By: Elaine Freedgood

A short, provocative book that challenges basic assumptions about Victorian fiction Now praised for its realism and formal coherence, the Victorian novel was not always great, or even good, in the eyes of its critics. As Elaine Freedgood reveals in Worlds Enough, it was only in the late 1970s that literary critics constructed a prestigious version of British realism, erasing more than a century of controversy about the value of Victorian fiction. Examining criticism of Victorian novels since the 1850s, Freedgood demonstrates that while they were praised for their ability to bring certain social truths to fictional life, these novels were also criticized for their formal failures and compared unfavorably to their French and German counterparts. She analyzes the characteristics of realism—denotation, omniscience, paratext, reference, and ontology—and the politics inherent in them, arguing that if critics displaced the nineteenth-century realist novel as the standard by which others are judged, literary history might be richer. It would allow peripheral literatures and the neglected wisdom of their critics to come fully into view. She concludes by questioning the aesthetic racism built into prevailing ideas about the centrality of realism in the novel, and how those ideas have affected debates about world literature. By re-examining the critical reception of the Victorian novel, Worlds Enough suggests how we can rethink our practices and perceptions about books we think we know.

Rewriting God

Rewriting God

Spirituality in Contemporary Australian Women's Fiction

By: Elaine Lindsay

Women are rarely if ever mentioned in commentaries upon Australian Christianity and spirituality. Only exceptional women are recognized as authorities on religious matters. Why is this so? Does it matter? Don't people from the same religious tradition share similar experiences of the divine, regardless of their gender?Rewriting Godasks whether women have been writing about the divine and whether their insights are different from those contained in malestream accounts of Australian Christianity and spirituality. An analysis of the writings of popular theologians and religious commentators over the last twenty years suggests that the most popular form of spirituality among Australian theologians is Desert Spirituality. An analysis of women's autobiographical writings, however, suggests that the desert is irrelevant to many women's spiritual experiences. This book, through a close investigation of the fictions of Thea Astley, Elizabeth Jolley and Barbara Hanrahan, attempts to posit alternative forms of women's spirituality and to signal ways in which this spirituality is already being expressed.From the evidence gathered here, it becomes obvious that traditional expressions of Australian Christianity and spirituality are gender-specific and that they have functioned to deny women's religious experiences and to silence their claims to equality in the sight and service of the divine. It becomes obvious, too, that women have been developing their own forms of religious expression and that these may be expected to supplant gradually withering images of Desert Spirituality. Whether this new imagery will strengthen Australian Christianity or whether it merely marks a decline in the authority of Christianity remains a moot point.
