“Fires Within” seeks to explore contemporary life issues, especially the often conflicting ‘inner fires’ of sexuality and spirituality - conflicting not just with each other, but also with traditional religious and social attitudes and myths. The novel begins where it ends - but then goes back to earlier years to trace the circumstances and rapidly changing community attitudes that have combined to bring the individuals in this story to this point in their lives. Peter is the central character - a minister/pastor, who struggles with these issues within the conservative and often defensive ethos of the traditional Australian church - and particularly in relation to unresolved grief in his own life. Len is a doctor, facing similar issues within secular society. Jay is a Chinese woman, who has to work through these same conflicts - firstly, growing up as the daughter of a missionary doctor in what then became Communist China, and later as a reluctant masseuse/sex worker in Australia. Rather than trying to provide simplistic or moralistic answers to these inner conflicts, these characters - individually, and later, through their interaction with one another - grapple with their search for personal integrity. This frequently means having to stand out against peer group opinion, and challenge some of the traditions and myths that often limit their enjoyment of ‘the fullness of life’. While all characters in the novel are fictitious, the unfolding events deliberately reflect the kind of situations and raw emotions that are common in many people's lives. In a real world that is far from perfect, the choices that they have to make are not simply between 'good' and 'bad' - but reflect the multi-faceted dilemas that often confront real people. The author attemps to deal with these issues in a non-judgemental way, hopefully opening the door for readers, grappling with similar issues, to explore new possibilities in their own lives.
Set against the awesome background of the raging 1988 Yellowstone fires, this is the story of a young couple, Jane and Tim, a Forest Ranger, deeply enmeshed in the struggle to contain the out-of-control fires. They have always seemed passionately destined for each other from childhood but are driven apart by her obsession with her mothers mysterious New England past and an old photo album that contains the only clue to its secrets. Within this troubling context is the story of Janes search for a father she has never known and how her obsessive search for him deepens the painful estrangement in her passionate relationship with Tim. As the fires unrelentingly close in on Jane and Tim, it is while packing up her home during the unsettling time of an enforced evacuation, that she discovers, not only her fathers identity, but uncovers a murder within her familys past that intimately involves the man she has sought all of her life. In this poignant novel, infinite passion, dangerous flames, an unsolved murder, and the power of desperately unfulfilled love are intricately woven together to create a suspenseful tale of desire that will only be satisfied when the mystery of the murder is solved.
First published in 1963, James Baldwin's A Fire Next Time stabbed at the heart of America's so-called ldquo;Negro problemrdquo;. As remarkable for its masterful prose as it is for its uncompromising account of black experience in the United States, it is considered to this day one of the most articulate and influential expressions of 1960s race relations. The book consists of two essays, ldquo;My Dungeon Shook mdash; Letter to my Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of Emancipation,rdquo; and ldquo;Down At The Cross mdash; Letter from a Region of My Mind.rdquo; It weaves thematic threads of love, faith, and family into a candid assault on the hypocrisy of the so-say ldquo;land of the freerdquo;, insisting on the inequality implicit to American society. ldquo;You were born where you were born and faced the future that you facedrdquo;, Baldwin writes to his nephew, ldquo;because you were black and for no other reason.rdquo; His profound sense of injustice is matched by a robust belief in ldquo;monumental dignityrdquo;, in patience, empathy, and the possibility of transforming America into ldquo;what America must become.rdquo;
A thousand orchids, a thousand orchids, A thousand orchids From earth they sprang. Their beauty destined to be a gift. Their beauty spread a sacred blanket Blessing new love, Blessing the future. "Fire Beneath: A Thousand Orchids" picks up where Louise Netherton's first collection of prose and poetry, "Passages," left off. It guides readers through her continuing journey of grief and healing as she travels through Malaysia, Cambodia, and Bali. At the end of "Fire Beneath," Netherton writes of the mountain she sees from her window. Only if she goes to the mountain does she know its secrets and beauty. I need to experience the mountain To see the depth of beauty, And so in life I need To walk with others To know of love, To have lived.
