Searching for Sofia is the third book in the Portraits in Blue Series. In Book One: The Sun Rose in Paris, and Book Two: Shattered Dreams we accompany Jack Tomlinsons foray into the world of artists in the early twentieth century, and his experiences in Paris, Spain and living in an artists retreat in Australia. In Searching for Sofia, his story continues. Having experienced tragedy beyond his imaginings, Jack tries to put his life back together again - first by finding healing at Heide, under the gentle, if somewhat intense, guidance of art enthusiasts - Sunday and John Reed, then by committing to life as a war-artist in the mountains of Crete. Despite his experiences, Jack never forgets the love that haunts him and which tests his sanity to the limits.
From journalist John Nadler comes a real-life Romeo and Juliet story set in war-torn Kosovo. Nadler has stumbled upon a bitter epic romance in the ashes of inter-ethnic strife in the former Yugoslavia. The cast: a pair of star-cross’d lovers, a young Kosovar man and a Serb woman; the girl’s father, a local militiaman who is determined to crush the relationship; and a war correspondent in the role of Friar Lawrence, entrusted with the commission of reuniting the lovers. Gjorg escapes the slaughter of his village by feigning death and fleeing while Serb troops invade his town. His fiancée Sofia disappears -- whisked away to Serbia, Gjorg believes, by her father, who is later implicated in a massacre. Gjorg, languishing in nato-held Kosovo, despairs of ever seeing his Sofia again. Until Nadler agrees to help find her. Always just a step behind, Nadler follows Sofia’s trail from her village through the flashpoints and tinderboxes of the Balkans: Mitrovica, the Presovo Valley, Macedonia, and, finally, Belgrade. He witnesses the sickening decay of Yugoslavia -- once a dynamic, cosmopolitan and prosperous nation -- manifested in the endemic suspicion, the burnt and shell-pocked buildings, the ravaged communities, and the broken lives. Searching for Sofia is a Balkan odyssey, a quest through dangerous terrain for an ever-elusive goal, a campaign for justice and, ultimately, an exploration, through the eyes of its victims, of the madness of internecine war.

Terrorists kidnap Mirembe Kenyagi, a Kenyan banker, and her sister Susan. Mirembe miraculously escapes, but Susan is sold into sex slavery in terrorist plagued Iraq. While working at the bank, Mirembe met Raul Martinez, a Miami lawyer who assists clients—both good guys and bad guys—by setting up “foundations” to hide money from creditors and cops. Mirembe contacts Raul seeking assistance as she prepares to traverse the dangerous Middle East refugee camps in search of Susan. Raul is married to Haifa, an international model in Jordan. Raul asks Haifa to enlist her rich and famous friends to aid the enslaved female refugees, but Haifa is an addict and captive of social media where she gathers followers and boyfriends. At great peril to himself, Raul diverts money from the international money-laundering underworld to fund rescue operations for sex slaves, coincidentally preventing his wife from latching on to his fortune. Searching for Sister explores people who waste their lives staring cross-eyed at screens but also the people who find the courage to act to rescue women in distress. Every month hundreds of women are kidnapped, raped, and forced into sex-slavery and marriage. Author Paul Platte reports the untold, true events of those women’s war for survival.
Mixing cultural criticism, literary history, biography, and memoir, an exploration of Alice Walker’s critically acclaimed and controversial novel, The Color Purple Alice Walker made history in 1983 when she became the ï¬?rst black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for The Color Purple. Published in the Reagan era amid a severe backlash to civil rights, the Jazz Age novel tells the story of racial and gender inequality through the life of a 14-year-old girl from Georgia who is haunted by domestic and sexual violence. Prominent academic and activist Salamishah Tillet combines cultural criticism, history, and memoir to explore Walker’s epistolary novel and shows how it has influenced and been informed by the zeitgeist. The Color Purple received both praise and criticism upon publication, and the conversation it sparked around race and gender still continues today. It has been adapted for an Oscar-nominated ï¬?lm and a hit Broadway musical. Through archival research and interviews with Walker, Oprah Winfrey, and Quincy Jones (among others), Tillet studies Walker’s life and how themes of violence emerged in her earlier work. Reading The Color Purple at age 15 was a groundbreaking experience for Tillet. It continues to resonate with her—as a sexual violence survivor, as a teacher of the novel, and as an accomplished academic. Provocative and personal, In Search of The Color Purple is a bold work from an important public intellectual, and captures Alice Walker’s seminal role in rethinking sexuality, intersectional feminism, and racial and gender politics.
