Jewels of the Crown

Jewels of the Crown

By: Sonya Hastings

This novel, although fiction, is based on a true story. The story is one of prodigies, of magic, of truth and righteousness and last but not least, of love; for every answer to every question lives inside of love. The Jewel of the Crown is one of three novels- a trilogy. The sequel that will follow is the novel- The War of Holy Hell, which will pick up where this novel leaves off. The story of the Jewels of the Crown in genre is considered a paranormal love story, however has a strong Christian undertone. My novel dictates a story of good verses evil; for one cannot believe in one and not the other, as they both equally exist. If you are a Christian who believes in your God and in your Lord Jesus Christ, this novel will lighten your heart, renew your faith and bring you hope. If you are a non-believer, I challenge you to read this novel anyway and with an open mind and think outside the box. Ask yourself, could there be a chance that I am wrong?

Long for This World

A Novel

By: Sonya Chung

Pushcart Prize nominee Sonya Chung has displayed her stunning talent in her award-winning short fiction and essays. Now, she renders the compelling story of a troubled family straddling cultures, fleeing and searching, in her piercing and profoundly humane first novel. In 1953, on a small island in Korea, a young boy stows away on the ferry that is carrying his older brother and his wife to the mainland. Fifty-two years later, Han Hyun-kyu is on a plane flying back to Korea, leaving behind his own wife in America. It is his daughter, Jane a war photographer recently injured in a bombing in Baghdad and forced to return to New York who journeys to find him in the small town in South Korea where his brothers have settled. Here, father and daughter take refuge from their demons, flirt with passion, and, in the wake of tragedy, discover something deeper and more enduring than they could have imagined. Just as Monica Ali's Brick Lane introduced readers to a world that is both exotic and immediate, Long for This World illuminates the complexities and the richness of family bonds and establishes Chung as an exciting new voice in fiction.

Old Englishness in King Horn and Athelston

Old Englishness in King Horn and Athelston

By: Sonya Louise Veck Lundblad

This volume compares characteristics of Old English literature to ‘Matter of England’ romances to determine whether key aspects of the poetry of the former continued in these stories on into the Middle English period. First, the book demonstrates the contemplative tone, respect for nature, and communal mindset present via monastic and hagiographic traditions in Old English poetry, before arguing that the midland romances, King Horn and Athelston, also possess these characteristics. Ultimately, it reveals important aspects of the afterlife of Old English literature and culture in England. Some intriguing discoveries are detailed, including unexpected points of contact between the English and Arabs in both the pre- and post-Conquest periods, as shown by the etymology of Saracen diction in King Horn. Furthermore, comparisons with the dreamer in The Dream of the Rood and an examination of the Old English verb “þencan” used by the Saracen reveal a complicated characterization, which goes deeper than what may be expected for the stock pagan enemy in Middle English romance. The book also investigates the possibility that, in Athelston, there is a reference to the Viking Guthrum, revealing the complex associations that late medieval English culture might have had with its Viking/Anglo-Saxon past. Finally, while looking at Athelston through the lens of the Anglo-Saxon natural world, this study probes what feels like a very Old English sense of kenotic love (via St. Edmund). This is manifested in the promise of grace at the outset of the romance, one that oversees not only a chain of events leading to King Athelston’s final submission and repentance, but also the unification of disparate cultures and a leveling of hierarchies. These romances seem to imbue the stories with a spiritual component, a “concrete universal,” and signify metonymy similar to the elegiac hopeful longing and the communal in the Old English poetry.

Singing Innocence and Experience

By: Sonya Taaffe

The Devil's School lies down this way. Lot's wife knows your name. Hearts hang in the scales, flesh and clay are one and the same, and the severed head of Orpheus sings in winter waves. In award-winning poet Sonya Taaffe's first collection of short fiction, the boundaries between worlds dissolve to reveal unmasked harlequins and women made of stars, serpentine plagues and New England storm gods, and many other denizens of the spaces between. These songs of innocence and experience, Blake never knew.

The Objects of Her Affection

A Novel

By: Sonya Cobb

Similarly thrilling' to Gone Girl...Smart social commentary meets taut heist when mom Sophie dips her toe into the black market art world, just so her family can have a nice home." — Better Homes & Garden Her Heists Paid the Bills. Her Family Paid the Price. Sophie Porter is the last person in the world you'd expect to be stealing Renaissance masterpieces—and that's exactly why she's so good at it. Slipping objects out of her husband's office at the Philadelphia Museum of Art satisfies something deep inside, during a time in her life when satisfactions are few and far between. Selling the treasures also happens to keep their house out of foreclosure — a house that means everything to Sophie. But the FBI is sniffing around, and Sophie is close to destroying the very life she's working so hard to build. She knows she should give up her thieving ways. But she may no longer be in control. The Objects of Her Affection is a riveting story about the realities of motherhood, the perils of secrecy, and the art of appraising the real treasures in our lives. "Sonya Cobb combines the rarified atmosphere of museum scholarship, illegal art trafficking, and the sticky desperation of young motherhood to craft a superbly written thriller."—Karen Engelmann, author of The Stockholm Octavo

Shades of the Lingering

A New Psychological Thriller

By: Sonya Pritchard

When she was a little girl, Nadia King spent summers with her Gram Marie in a house filled with drafts and unexplained shadows. It was her grandmother who gave Nadia her first journal at age seven as a safe place to write her ghost stories. Although Gram Marie believed Nadia was destined to be a writer, her life has taken a different path. While ignoring her obvious connections with the supernatural, Nadia pursues a career in science instead. As she meets a cast of interesting characters, her scientific mind begins to question the things she used to see in Gram Marie’s house as a child and what she continues to see as an adult. Nadia soon realizes that these events may be more than just her imagination, and that life has been leading her to the research institute, Amulet, all along. But when she and her team identify a mysterious new brain cell, they set into motion a chain of events with the potential to forever change the world’s perspective on ghosts, the afterlife, and reality. In this psychological thriller, a scientist and her team make a shocking discovery that intertwines the supernatural with the logical and dreams with the truth.

Her Jericho Heart

By: Sonya Davis

Sydney Cromwell is a prominent New York attorney. She has it all, wealth, prestige, and a fiancé, Marcus Rosenbaum, who can keep her in the lifestyle she is so accustomed to. Sydney is the most sought after attorney in the business, mostly because she can be bought for a price by the guilty. Sydney has never lost a case, and many guilty parties walk free because of her excellent representation. This, she takes great pride in. Needing to confront the demons from her childhood that are haunting her, she knows her only option is to return back to the beginning. With high expectations of finding the answers she so desires, Sydney heads to the small town in North Carolina where she was raised to see her Granny. She suddenly comes face-to-face with a plan God has laid out for her, in the form of a snow bank in the middle of a blizzard. There, she is rescued by a veterinarian farmer named Bo Turner. When Sydney wakes from the bump on her head, she finds she is snowbound on Bo’s farm that he shares with his young niece Olivia. As time goes by, waiting for the storm to pass, Bo begins to teach Sydney about true love and reconnecting with the God of her childhood. Could it be that Bo and Olivia’s love just might be the answers to all of the questions Sydney seeks? Can they find a way into her heart? Will Sydney go back to the life she has worked so hard for in New York, or will she choose another life with real love, that God has given her a glimpse of?

A Place to Call Home Volume One

By: Sonya T. Anderson

One year my husband and I decided to host a Thanksgiving celebration in our home for about twenty to twenty-five people. In preparation, we went beyond the basics of shampooing the carpets and mopping the floors. We put a fresh coat of paint on every wall, purchased new furniture for the living room, and installed a second bathroom. We even knocked out a wall in order to make the living room bigger. The night before our guests were set to arrive we were still up cooking and completing minor details. How much more should we prepare our hearts to become the habitation of Yahweh? Let us turn our attention inwardly and focus on preparing our living sanctuaries. The King of Kings desires to make your heart his home and you must get ready!

Women and Religion in the West

Women and Religion in the West

Challenging Secularization

By: Sonya Sharma

What is the relationship between women and secularization? In the West, women are abandoning traditional religion. Yet they continue to make up the majority of religious adherents. Accounting for this seeming paradox is the focus of this volume. If women undergird the foundations of religion but are leaving in large numbers, why are they leaving? Where are they going? What are they doing? And what's happening to those who remain? Women and Religion in the West addresses a neglected yet crucial issue within the debate on religious belonging and departure: the role of women in and out of religion and spirituality. Beginning with an analysis of the relationship between gender and secularization, the book moves its focus to in-depth examination of women's experiences based on data from key recent qualitative work on women and religion. This volume addresses not only women's place in and out of Christianity (the normal focus of secularization theories) but also alternative spiritualities and Islam, asking how questions of secularization differ between faith systems. This book offers students and scholars of religion, sociology, and women's studies, as well as interested general readers, an accessible work on the religiosity of western women and contributes fresh analyses of the rapidly shifting terrain of contemporary religion and spirituality.

Life Manual

The Word or the World You Choose

By: Sonya Peavy

Life Manual is a life-transforming book for Christians and those aspiring to live a Christian life. It outlines basic principles for living life carefree. Many times, Christians go through life, struggling in many areas once they receive salvation because unfortunately, there is lack of knowledge once you are born again into this new life that you now have. Life Manual will guide you through biblical principles that God has given us to live successfully in every area of life. In Deuteronomy 30:15-16, God says, "See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death, and destruction." He says to choose life. In the book, we discuss dating, marriage preparation, abstinence, gender confusion, and putting God first in your life.

666, the mark of the beast, the antichrist, we all know of him, the saved and the unsaved alike. He is the epitomy of evil. The very manifestation of the darkest works of satan. Most people are well versed when it comes to the Anti-Messiah (Anti-Christ) and can recognize his works from afar off. However, these same people are deceived in other ways. Yeshua warned us that before His return a deception so grand would take place that if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived. Unveil the pseudo-messiah and expose the deception once and for all!

The Wolf Children of the Eastern Front

By: Sonya Winterberg,Kerstin Lieff

If this doesn’t move you, I suggest you check your pulse.' –John Kay, frontman of Steppenwolf (born in East Prussia in 1944) Told by the children who survived, these stories could well be the last eyewitness report of the aftermath of the Second World War. As the land where they once lived was integrated into the Eastern Bloc, their accounts remained hushed until after the Iron Curtain fell. Now, in The Wolf Children of the Eastern Front, they break their silence. During the bitter winter months of 1944-45, hundreds of thousands of Germans fled East Prussia from an advancing Red Army. With sometimes only minutes’ notice, families escaped in horse-drawn carriages, or they simply ran on foot. In desperation, mothers threw babies onto handcarts, pushing ahead through snowstorms and freezing temperatures. Exhausted, horses broke down, left to die in roadside ditches. Pounding artillery filled the air. In the ensuing chaos, 20,000 children lost their families – to the mayhem, to starvation, epidemics or gunfire. Even the youngest suddenly found themselves alone in the world, needing to forage for food and find shelter. They hid in bullet-riddled barns and wandered from house to house, begging for help. While many died, there are the few that managed to survive. Their experiences are unimaginable: toes frozen off, endless hunger, rape, physical abuse. Those considered lucky were eventually taken in, even lovingly cared for, primarily by Lithuanian farmers, but nearly to the last of them, they grew into adulthood illiterate and poverty-stricken. Yet a surprising truth lives within nearly every one of these victims – an overwhelming sense of hope and forgiveness. They are the Wolf Children.

Westernwear

Postwar American Fashion and Culture

By: Sonya Abrego

During the prosperous, forward-thinking era after the Second World War, a growing number of men, women, and children across the United States were wearing fashions that evoked the Old West. Westernwear: Postwar American Fashion and Culture examines why a sartorial style with origins in 19th-century agrarian traditions continued to be worn at a time when American culture sought balance between technocratic confidence in science and technology on one side, and fear and anxiety over global annihilation on the other. By analysing well-known and rarely considered western manufacturers, Westernwear revises the common perception that fashionable innovation came from the East coast and places western youth cultures squarely back in the picture. The book connects the history of American working class dress with broader fashionable trends and discusses how and why Native American designs and representations of Native American people were incorporated broadly and inconsistently into the western visual vocabulary. Setting westernwear firmly in context, Sonya Abrego addresses the incorporation of this iconic style into postwar wardrobes and popular culture, and charts the evolution of westernwear into a modern fashion phenomenon.

Different Beasts

Humans and Animals in Spinoza and the Zhuangzi

By: Sonya N. Ã-zbey

Different Beasts explores conceptions of animality and humanity as they emerge in the writings of Spinoza and in the ancient Chinese text known as the Zhuangzi. The project thus brings together works from distant and different pasts to bear on debates regarding the human-animal binary in its many constructions. It also investigates what is at stake in the formation of responsible comparison--one that is contextually grounded and refined in detail--to understand how the complex machinery behind the human-animal binary operates in different philosophical systems.

China Interrupted

Japanese Internment and the Reshaping of a Canadian Missionary Community

By: Sonya Grypma

China Interrupted is the story of the richly interwoven lives of Canadian missionaries and their China-born children (mishkids), whose lives and mission were irreversibly altered by their internment as “enemy aliens” of Japan from 1941 to 1945. Over three hundred Canadians were among the 13,000 civilians interned by the Japanese in China. China Interrupted explores the experiences of a small community of Canadian missionaries who worked in Japanese-occupied China and were profoundly affected by Canada’s entry into the Pacific War. It critically examines the fading years of the missionary movement, beginning with the perspective of Betty Gale and other mishkid nurses whose childhood socialization in China, decision to return during wartime, choice to stay in occupied regions against consular advice, and response to four years of internment reflect the resilience, fragility, and eventual demise of the China missions as a whole. China Interrupted provides insight into the many ways in which health care efforts in wartime China extended out of the tight-knit missionary community that had been established there decades earlier. Urging readers past a thesis of missions as a tool of imperialism, it offers a more nuanced way of thinking about the relationships among people, institutions, and nations during one of the most important intercultural experiments in Canada’s history.

Opa Nobody

By: Sonya Huber

It had come to this: breastfeeding her screaming three-month-old while sitting on the cigarette-scarred floor of a union hall, lying to her husband so she could attend yet another activist meeting, and otherwise actively self-destructing. Then Sonya Huber turned to her long-dead grandfather, the family ?nobody,? for help. ø Huber?s search for meaning and resonance in the life of her grandfather Heina Buschman was unusual insofar as she knew him only through dismissive family stories: He let his wife die of neglect . . . he used his infant son as a decoy when transporting anti-Nazi literature in a baby carriage . . . and so the stories went. What she actually discovered was that, like his granddaughter, Heina Buschman was a committed and beleaguered activist whose story echoed her own. Huber?s research not only conjured her grandfather?s voice in answer to many of the questions that troubled her but also found in his story a source of personal sustenance for herself. Based on extensive research and documentation, this story of Heina Buschman offers a rare look into the heart of the ?average? socialist trying to survive the Nazis and rebuild a broken world. Alternating with his voice is Huber?s own, providing a rich and moving counterpoint that makes this deeply personal exploration of family, politics, and individual responsibility a story for all of us and for all time.

Raymond Brown, 'The Jews,' and the Gospel of John

From Apologia to Apology

By: Sonya Shetty Cronin

Until the mid-1960s, most commentators of the Gospel of John were aware of a polemic against 'the Jews,' yet they did not consider it with reference to contemporary ethical discussion. A shift in focus in Johannine scholarship is noticeable from the mid-1960s and 1970s to the present, where commentators began to connect the Gospel's polemic against 'the Jews' with potential anti-Judaism in the text. As yet, very little work has been done to answer the question of how this change in sensitivity came about. This book is a historiography of one scholar's growing awareness of potential anti-Judaism in the Gospel of John with the intention of using this individual history to explain the larger trend in biblical studies. Sonya Cronin examines the published work of Raymond Brown, a prominent Catholic New Testament scholar, between the years 1960-1998. The book contextualizes Brown's work by evaluating the impact of ecclesiastical statements and the influence of earlier and contemporary Johannine scholarship on Brown's biblical interpretation, and then posits theories as to why change occurs at specific times.

Temples in the Cliffside

Buddhist Art in Sichuan

By: Sonya S. Lee

At sixty-two meters the Leshan Buddha in southwest China is the world’s tallest premodern statue. Carved out of a riverside cliff in the eighth century, it has evolved from a religious center to a UNESCO World Heritage Site and popular tourist destination. But this Buddha does not stand alone: Sichuan is home to many cave temples with such monumental sculptures, part of a centuries-long tradition of art-making intricately tied to how local inhabitants made use of their natural resources with purpose and creativity. These examples of art embedded in nature have altered landscapes and have influenced the behaviors, values, and worldviews of users through multiple cycles of revival, restoration, and recreation. As hybrid spaces that are at once natural and artificial, they embody the interaction of art and the environment over a long period of time. This far-ranging study of cave temples in Sichuan shows that they are part of the world’s sustainable future, as their continued presence is a reminder of the urgency to preserve culture as part of today’s response to climate change. Temples in the Cliffside brings art history into close dialogue with current discourse on environmental issues and contributes to a new understanding of the ecological impact of artistic monuments.

Chasing the American Dream in a Rural Trailer Park

By: Sonya Salamon,Katherine MacTavish

In Singlewide, Sonya Salamon and Katherine MacTavish explore the role of the trailer park as a source of affordable housing. America’s trailer parks, most in rural places, shelter an estimated 12 million people, and the authors show how these parks serve as a private solution to a pressing public need. Singlewide considers the circumstances of families with school-age children in trailer parks serving whites in Illinois, Hispanics in New Mexico, and African Americans in North Carolina. By looking carefully at the daily lives of families who live side by side in rows of manufactured homes, Salamon and MacTavish draw conclusions about the importance of housing, community, and location in the families’ dreams of opportunities and success as signified by eventually owning land and a conventional home. Working-poor rural families who engage with what Salamon and MacTavish call the "mobile home industrial complex" may become caught in an expensive trap starting with their purchase of a mobile home. A family that must site its trailer in a land-lease trailer park struggles to realize any of the anticipated benefits of homeownership. Seeking to break down stereotypes, Salamon and MacTavish reveal the important place that trailer parks hold within the United States national experience. In so doing, they attempt to integrate and normalize a way of life that many see as outside the mainstream, suggesting that families who live in trailer parks, rather than being "trailer trash," culturally resemble the parks’ neighbors who live in conventional homes.
